chicago1, it's doing really well so far. I've had about 1000miles on the set up and it's been working awesome. I still run smaller hoses off the valley cover and valve cover to a can. then to the blower intake

Any pics? I just got my vc back with the -10an lines welded on. My catch can with filter should be here friday

Installing the RX dual valve, on an LS6. There is no tube etc on the drivers side valve cover, just a plastic cap in a hole, how do I hook up the tubing? Is something missing, what connector do I need?

Remove the plug and Autozone has the plastic elbow along with the hose. Right before it goes into my CC, I reduced the hose size to fit.


I'd tell you what exactly I bought but I forgot.

Unfortunately you going to have to find an adaptor of some sort that will fit in the hole on the drive side valve cover. Those who use AN fittings will just have a bung welded into the cover. Others will have a nipple of sorts welded in and just clamp the hose onto it.

Some do as Daniel has suggested. That option didn't work too well for me. Of course the small 3/8 lines that come with the regular dual valve RX can didn't work for me either.

That is a good option if you don't want custom -an lines


This is what I did below

that's why I did as well Chicago, I also mad some baffles and welded below to holes just in case the rockers threw oil out the hole.

did you get a pic of the one to the blower? I was curious about that one..Thanks

I have a question,i am trying to stop my car from looking like a diesel when I stop on the gas pedal..anyone have a drawing showing the right way to hook up a electric smog pump,to the motor, (ls3)aka via the valve covers..I am going to use a hobbs switch to activate the air pump during boost.. just wanted to know the best way to route the plumbing and do I need two check valves and a catch can?

If you're going to try a make shift vacuum pump you want to close off everything and have one line from the crankcase (lifter valley or valve cover) going to the pump and then to a catch can. You should just run it all the time.

robert miller

No way to hook up one unless you take the AIR off the car. ECS Doug had one are had a post on one from someplace for the C5 with out air on the car.

I was reading someplace I think on the turbo buick site I could use a hobbs switch to make it come on only when boosted. I have a used smog pump ,put in a 10AN fitting on front of passenger side valve cover,in the fill tube,bassically I drilled and tapped the lower part so I could install the fitting,then the drivers side I took the 3/8 port off drilled and tapped it as well. so I have the inlet going to drivers side,blowing in,the outlet is passenger side.(going back to pump)
I have a vented catch can on valley cover with a check valve towards the can,so as not to blow into can engine oil..while in boost..and I assume that the vented can while not in boost allows air to go into motor?

baddgoat

yes I have a electric one.plus its a street car I don't want a belt driven one to run all the time,I would rather keep air on car. l

Don't those vacuum pumps (which are expensive) last like 10k miles or less?

baddgoat

I have no idea,got mine at junk yard whole $15 BUCKS..IF THIS WORKS PRICELESS..

You'll never pull a vacuum that way. No inlet, just suck on the sealed crankcase, venting to a catch can, all the time. If you're not trying to pull a vacuum and just use the motor to coax the CC pressure out I think you'd be better off just running large tubes off the valve covers.


PS: Not sure how long one of those pumps will last with oil mist going through it but worth a shot.

I hate to bring one back from the dead but knowing what I know now this post is funny!
So passive yet so direct Kris!!
