** Rebuilding a Stroked/Turbo VT Ecotec **

can you get a fitting that big to put a hose on??? yeah they are maces aluminium polished super 6 covers. ive never seen an oil cap fitting with provision to put a hose on? im not putting the turbos on as yet, im running the engine in 1000klms then putting the rest on...therefore i cant run it to the preturbo intake....

to put the fitting into the cap youll have to drill it out and thread it.

and there should be a nipple under the TB that the current valley breather runs into, thats where ud plumb it back if you were going to.

Ideal way would be at the back of the rocker cover where you cant see it
drill and tap some speed flow fittings 1 on each side then run hoses off to of them catchcan
that hose under the throttle body is meant to be blocked off or itll fill your crankcase full of boost i had the same problem

if theyre alloy youd be better off welding some fittings on the back as tommay said where you wont see them

i was just gonna drill and tap holes at the back of both rocker covers and put a bung on the end and clamp the hose?? the tap on the bottom of the manifold and the tb both need to be blocked up???

if you have blocked off the pcv valve in the inlet manifold like we told ya before you need to
vent the tap off the middle of the inlet manifold to a catchcan vent both rocker covers to a catchcan. and block off the throttlebody hose underneath
id say you could use a tpiece if you only have 2 connections
