Thread: Homemade PCV

I understand and am not doubting his device was just basically trying to same thing as you just did.

Since the barbs I used are brass, thats relativity soft, just had to press the ball into the inside space for it to make a seat in the brass.

Depending on the size someone makes, you can use an o-ring for it to seat on as well...etc

I'll eventually get around to testing it against an air compressor and seeing what happens... but not right now.

Good call on an O-ring, I'm gonna have to try it!

What about this

Nice, if i would of found a male barb like that i could of tried it, but I dont see where he used a spring or anything to keep the ball from stopping vacuum also. Apparently he mounts it vertically...

Yep he mounts it vertically

Are you guys getting rid of the factory pcv all together

There isnt a need to IMO... and with the ve/20v valve cover it would be kinda hard to hook up a hose to it without it.

That's basically what I made just with a spring so it's not required for it to be vertically mounted.

@unijabnx2000 hit up Lowes or Home Depot, I found male and female barb there, though they were 1/4"....

the extra space the nipple Im using allow for easier adjustment of the spring pressure on the ball. The more force on the spring means it takes more vacuum to open it. Im completely happy with the longer version I made.

Although Lowes was the first place I tried, besides the fittings they had no loose springs or ball bearings. Also the closest ACE or Home Depot is an hour or more away.
