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.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
