So what happens when you get blow by....

Remember all engines have a certain amount of blow by...

I can see it now... I fitted this thing and i blew my engine... It looks like a modified PCV Valve (crank case vent valve)...

Me no like playing with that....

Our targa BMW had a we little crank case vent problem on the last day of the targa... The air vent on the top of the catch can blocked up not allowing breathing.... Then she went boom....

So i now always have a free flowing catch can....

The valves will let the blow by pressure out...

So does a catch can... With a vent....

Not being rude but whats the point of this thing....

I mean it does not do anything a catch can cant do...

These valves give negative pressure (vacuum) in the case. An open catch can(assuming no vacuum pump) will leave atmospheric pressure in the case.

Vacuum in the sump is a good thing. It helps to keep the oil clean and the engine will make more power because the pistons do not have to displace and compress air on the way down.

You could always use these valves in conjunction with a catch can.

Yeah i did a bit of re-search today...

I missed the point... A bike does not have room for an oil catch can... So its the next best thing.....

Now i see.... But yeah it sorta answers the original question...

No i would not use one on the car as its not needed yes i would use one on a bike as its the alternative to an oil catch can in limited spaces (no spaces on a bike)...

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
