Where is the Pcv valve located on a s13 redtop? Thanks.

it's on the back of the valve cover on the left side when you're looking at it from the front, with the big hose running to it.

So it is the metal plug then? I guess I was expecting it to be plastic. Thanks, thats what I needed to know.

my pcv is welded shut. i run a catch can from the other vent. the "t" on the left. there is only a need to change the oil more frequently. shaun

ok, I dont have my car here to look at it, so I was lookin for it in pictures.. It looks like it comes out of the rear of the valve cover and the pipe runs to... a nipple on the intake?

I have seen a catch can run from the forward of the "T" junction on the other side of the valve cover, but never from that part. I guess you just plug the other end? More importantly what does the PCV valve do?

i have never seen a catch can on the pcv either. just on the forward part of the "t" also. (thats how mine is). the other end of the "t" facing the fairwall...i had to remove the stock catch can for my turbo upgrade. just ran a hose in place of it. what is the stock catchcans purpose there? seems pointless.shaun

Ok, I am a little lost, on my sr, we are talking about the t-fitting out of the valve cover...the thing in the back of the motor(metal boxy looking thing) thats the PCV valve? and where does the front of the fitting go to?

Front goes to your intake for small amouts of oil leave the top of the vavle cover into your combustion chamber, taking away HP to some small extent.

Not taking away horsepower, it just lets a small amount of oil go through your compressor and your intercooler, which isn't the best thing in the world.
