You might consider swapping out the PVC valve for one that is from a boosted vehicle. Ones from NA vehicles are usually pretty trash at preventing the boost from leaking back into your crank case. Even better would be to replace the fitting on the valve cover with an AN fitting and then replace the valve with a AN check valve and a metering orifice at the intake side. That way you NEVER leak boost into the crank case and you can set exactly the amount of air can pass while under vacum; you'll get better idle performance and won'y be chasing boost control issues.

FYI, If your using push lock fittings, and those lines will see boost pressure, you may need to run a clamp. The only fittings you don't need to run a clamp on would be the official Russell Twist-Lok fittings. The difference is they have 3 barbs, instead of 2 barbs on the fitting. I figured this out the hard way on some oil lines a few months ago. It worked for a few weeks then popped off. Just wanted to give my 2 cents.

You guys should have explained how the catch can itself works, like what goes on inside them. The biggest thing you see with cheap catch cans (and even some expensive ones) is that they don't have baffling in them, so they are just empty space. Those don't do a whole lot. You want to have ones that are baffled so they can slow down the oil and fuel vapor that's going through them, and add surface area to help cool down the vapor so they condensate back into liquid. Empty catch cans don't work nearly as well as baffled ones. And typically you can simply put in some metal wool pads inside empty cans to help them work better. You can use steel wool, but I'd recommend purchasing aluminum or brass wool (which are fairly cheap) and those will work much better as they have a much higher thermal conductivity than steel wool does, including stainless steel. Higher thermal conductivity means it'll transfer heat much better and will cool things down faster. That's why radiators and intercoolers are made from aluminum instead of steel.

You may not need it much in SoCal or other arid locales but most of the rest of the world makes regular use of windshield washers. For PCV oil management there's also the option of using a small oil vapor separator and plumbing its output into the oil pan. This removes oil from the PCV system and delivers it directly to the oil pan where it's removed at the next oil change which means there's no need to install and check/drain a catch can on a regular basis.

Those Radium units are pretty nice quality. If you're setup with a tig machine, a great way to build one is out of an old reciever dryer. If you don't run an a/c anymore, you can even use the stock location that it resides in, for most instances. Grab yourself a few fittings, some hose, and clamps and you're in business. I've built a few of these with old reciever dryer canisters. You can find them for free in most cases and they come in many different sizes. Just a tip I've used in my years turning wrenches/ fabbing up stuff on a budget. You can throw some paint on one and make it look 'store bought' if you're concerned about the look of it even. I prefer the wrinkle black paint that VHT sells. 😎

@@IkaraPentiki Hose clamp elitism?? How can a worm clamp be that bad, i mean come on, it has one single job. I *have* had spring clamps leak because they don't provide enough clamping force to stop hose movement, and gates power grips are one time use. One single-use 2" power grip is literally 6$, when I can get a stainless steel worm clamp for like 2 bucks that can be reused countless times. I'll stick with a normal worm clamp, even on my temperature cycling engine lol. Edit: Just wanted to say that they are in southern california, so the temperature swings there are so minimal that they're pointless to even think about. Gates power grips are meant for big rigs that see frigid temperatures. Also, worm clamps can be installed without even removing the hose from its barb, particularly useful when replacing a leaky spring clamp on a coolant hose.... Edit2: Tbolt clamps are better than worm clamps, and I use them for highly important things like radiator hoses and such. Even so, they use the same concept as the worm, in general.

@IkaraPentiki 3 жыл бұрын
@@jonathonhebert7042 A lot to unpack here. A worm clamp is terrible because as the engine bay (and indeed the fitting) temp goes up, the hose expands. However, worm clamps do not. If a spring clamp is leaking because of not enough tension, it can always be easily replaced with a worm clamp as a stop-gap, though either the hose is likely hard (meaning it's not clamping the fitting, but the hardened hose) or the clamp was insufficient in the first place, or incorrectly installed (and thus damaged). Gates power grips are one time use, and a little shopping, depending on size, can get them pretty cheap. However, they also have no footprint on the connection (or basically none) preventing cuts, snags, or other mechanical obstruction that even spring clamps cause to some degree. They are also going to provide a seal even in some cases where the hose end has failed due to hardeneing as they seal up and around the fitting. Regardless of where they live, temperature in the engine bay swings from air temp at full cool (even in southern california, this is maybe 105 at the most, right? maybe 110?) to over perhaps 240, or higher, depending on the engine's thermostat, cooling fan switch, evaporator temp switch, and the heat being flushed into the engine bay by the exposed exhaust components. Do a rip down a drag strip with and then see what the air temp in the engine bay is. Or pull a lap at the track and check it at the pit. Gates power grips are not just for big rigs with huge temp swings. Motorcycle manufacturers have a tendency to use crap parts, and my Suzuki v-strom was replete with worm-drive clamps from the factory. When i flushed the coolant system and replaced the worn hoses, i replaced all the clamps with power grips. I didn't have any trouble finding the small sizes i needed in order to accomplish this, and they have been flawless in the 3 years since. T-bolt clamps _are_ better than worm drives, in large part due to their smooth surface and lack of un-even extrusion and generally concentric contact pattern so long as the right size is used. Sprung T-bolt clamps would rate just above power-grips in my mind, as having the ease of installation of worm-drive clamps, and the automatic tensioning of spring clamps. However. T-bolt clamps of both stripes are nearly as, if not in some cases more expensive (depending on size and supplier) than power-grip clamps. They do get a point for re-usability though. There are similar pros and cons to using compression fittings, which are infinitely re-usable but have obvious cost concerns (as the fittings have to be replaced and the hoses have to be matched perfectly). But... yes, hose clamp elitism if you want to call it that, though i'd say that it's not elitism to suggest that "the way it's always been done around here" might not be the best way to do it.

Thank you. This video made me want to do a Draw-Through Turbo setup, with a crankcase vent between the carburetor and compressor. On my 4stroke motorcycles. Negative crankcase pressure, so there is no air in the way, of the back of the pistons. I understand. A vacuum behind the pistons, should increase power. And no catch can to worry about. This is great information, thank you.

Converting it to a meth kit is a great idea. I've done it a couple times. See my suggestion about converting an old reciever dryer to a homemade catch can setup above... Theres almost always a way to repurpose something unnecessary into something useful if you're into fab work. I love that kind of creative stuff. Back in the day when you wanted custom parts for a lot of applications you built your own, before the days of countless tuners/ vendors and the interwebz.😎

I see so many things on this car that would not be possible if they lived up in the Northeast. I regularly go through gallons of windshield washer fluid a year, and absolutely need center vents for heat & A/C, etc. That said, the Miata is coming along nicely. I'm glad they put off Turboing it for a good long while and focused on other upgrades, especially after what happened during High/Low.

Did he also explain the reason for the dual catch can set up? Basically, one catch can is connected to the low pressure side when you're not going hard in the paint, and the other is connected to the high pressure side when you are. Usually when people do a single setup, they attach it to the high pressure side, but honestly most of us are not WOT 24/7 so dual setup is super beneficial.

@@ethansheppard9664 yes, they’ll need replacing. O-rings, if not torn, might be reusable as well as seals, again if not damaged. But from the video shots, pressure was, well, extreme.

Anyway, a thorough inspection and cleaning is in order and while there, I wouldn’t take any chances and replace everything that leaked.
