Wondering if anyone has done a pcv delete and run a breather style setup on an l83/l86 engine?

 

Seen it done on older ls stuff and guys talk about a much smoother idle.

 

Recently had a cam swap done and looking to keep intake and valves clean lol.

Yes we have. The issue is the small vacuum is nice to give a little negative valve and crank case pressure. But on super and turbo we do both or breather only. I have both on any negative intake pressure once I get boost at all the check valve closes to the intake and the catch can is only under vacuum because the secondary exit line goes to pre turbo intake. But with the can cleaning and the vacuum line so long oil debris cant make it to turbo. Also I have both valve cover port and the css port going to 5/8" that again is long. Goes to a large tank with larger dual port air filters. It is about the most pressure I can let out of the engine without drilling more holes in the engine. Works great.

This is what I have set up right now, and I have an elite catch can on order to put in line with the pcv system. I asked my mechanic to install a catch can and this is the style he put so I only ordered the 2 port can from elite

Your n/a so that good. My tank looks fancy but it is a Ebay $60 tank. As I said my exit in catch can closes under boost so it doesnt back flow so the second port on elite can goes before the turbocharger. And that can really suck air. It was whistling LOUD before I got the breather tank.

Sweet! I seen your name mentioned on another thread about having an ON3 turbo kit on your truck, care to share some info on it? I've been looking at their single turbo kit for some time now and curious on if it is a reliable kit.

Very good kit. Only kit that offers full dual bank to turbo intake most are a log manifold. Bands could be better but not a issue. Even on 5.3 just buy the 76mm or the BMF 10psi safe all day 12psi we are pushing the 5.3l fuel system and I maxed out at over 600rwhp on stock fuel. With more fuel the stock block record is 850rwhp. But i will stay lower then that. Plans are concerted and fuel next but busy on other project so some time this summer.

My tune is in more then 6 trucks I now of and all dyno over 560rwhp at 12psi on stock everything trucks. I say it is the best bang for the buck.

Thats awesome to hear, some guys say their kits are cheap and so I was somewhat concerned. 

 

Currently running a tsp cam with +32% fuel lobe and getting 375whp with 4.88 gears and 37" tires. 

 

But i'm looking for some more get up and go lol

No the stainless is great quality. Whole kit is good.
For the money you could add the bigger injectors and hpfp. Run 600rwhp safely.
I would check those cam specs with a forced induction. Make sure they are ok. And that gear is big for turbo truck. But 200 more resr wheel horsepower will still get it moving.

Is 600whp roughly the max for the factory fuel system?
Yes at 560-570rwhp on stock everything. The fuel pulse width is just past what all tunes feel is safe. But depends on the dyno and the setup. So.max yes safe no. The high side fuel system is cheap to upgrade. The low side is the more expensive part. On a stock block it starts to get into the not worth it area. I mean 3-4k for a fuel.sytem to be 600-700 is cool but on the streets I have traction issues and then everything more is a band aid, like meth and nitrous. To be more on stock block. Most will buy gm high side fuel and call it good then you are low 625rwhp or so and safe. Also these are non e85 numbers as it takes more e85 to make the same power number so the injectors run out quicker.

Hey sorry to bother ya again, but I just received my elite catch can and was wondering will it even pull a vacuum if the other ports are connected to my vented catch can?

As long as the exit on the elite goes to the intake manifold that is always under vacuum on a neutraly aspirated engine. The valve covers really just need breathers or open air.
The CCS is tricky because it still gives up some oil so I piped that into the breathers and see no oil issues. Or other option is the dirty line aka the in pot to the elite.
Hope that makes sense.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
