here are a couple pics for the hell of it, finally got her running today after some timing mistakes, and a leaky valve cover gasket, the oil scared me bad.

but its idling at around 13-14 afr, and cruising between 11-13, WOT at any speed is like 9afr!!! holy rich batman, haha

enjoy.

So both breather lines have no PCV? What did you do with the intake mounted PCV because it looks un hooked in the pics.

Any smoking or rough idle under heavy accel or decel?

Are you venting it to the atmosphere only becuase of the managment your running? I thought you can't vent to the atmosphere on a MAF equiped car.

NO PCV AT ALL!the pcv holw in the plenum is blocked off with a bolt, and you can vent to atmos.

if i was having any problems with anything on my set up, i would have changed it.

its always healthy to fantasize KEMP, dont worry we dont think less of you

i always thought you HAD to have a PCV valve or check valve somewhere in system, atleast from the threads in the stickies. good shiz though KEMP, i like the black and white theme. CA Speed!

Blocking the PCV with as much boost as he can run with that turbo will do evil things to the rings. But whatever.

Glad you have finished your rebuild..

I hate to be a stick in the mud, but I think you should take a look at this diagram, study it, map out the flow within the design of your ventilation and rethink your design..

I would hate for you to come back in a few months time, very disappointed, asking questions about why you are experiencing another set of issues when you only rebuilt your motor recently..

On a side note, you have broken in the motor correctly, before having such a rich map?

indeed they were, and indeed do reinstall your pcv.

PCV valves are not for emmisions or anything like that p.s.
