406 twin turbo breather/pcv ?
 

I fired my motor tonight for the first time. I have a -10 line off of each valve cover to a breather tank. The breather was blowing pretty bad. I was wondering, should I add a pcv also? The picture is my set up.

Is this a new engine or just a new combo for this car? How long did it run before it was smoking?

I ran the same (2) #10 lines to hidden remote Stef breather tanks. They came with a chrome breather cap which I exchanged for identical caps with a breather tube on them. I ran that 1/2" breather line to the base of the K&N filters (there was already a hole in them). What this does is pull any smoke vapors into the engine, eliminating the smoke and smell of open breathers.

With that said, they shouldn't smoke a lot, a little is normal when fully warmed up.

Congratulations! :thumbsup:

The motor and car are all new. It isn't real bad, but I will try your method with the other style breather. It will be after I figure out what is leaking oil from the rear of the block.

Post more pictures. Love the pictures.

Me too!
 

You beat me to this Topic, as I'm having similar problems. It's only blowing through the breathers under high rpm, but that's no big deal. The crankcase pressure is making it difficult to keep leaks from popping up.

What is the best way for PCV? I don't like the old-style Moroso set-ups but I need to do something aggressive about crankcase pressure. If oil's not blowing-through my oil-pan gasket, it's the end rails, then it's the timing cover. If I fix one spot, another pukes oil.

If I use tanks, where should I mount them? Do they need to constantly drain into the pan? Jody, where did you hide yours?

If using the exhaust system for vacuum, would that effect the O2 sensor? Should it source after the sensor?

Pros/Cons for electric vacuum pumps?

hard to see, but in the wheelwell area. They have breather caps and a 1/2" nipple fitting on them, where a hose runs into the air filter base to pull the vapors back in instead of smelling them when it's idling.

I am planning a TT 383.

Do you have one tank for each valve cover or do you only need one tank off one cover for the whole engine?

If I ran a return drain line back to the oilpan will it defeat the purpose of the PCV system?

Anybody.... :_paranoid
