ok so i went to pull the intake manifold from the b18 and i forgot one hose,well there was a plastic nipple holding it to the black box on the back of the motor..i think its the pcv valve,but just want to make sure .and the hose comes up from under the mani and gos into the top of the manifold..heres the pix

I did the same damn thing on my b18 LS Teg, I went to orelies and peiced together something to work with a vacuume assortment, a pcv boot (Same isle) and the original hoses.. i ran it through the same hole in the intake.. its a bitch to get on there but it stays on there.. I think i might have wrapped the pcv valve with electrical tape a few times around to get it to fit tight in there .. worked fine.. Ghetto though.. LOL but really, whos gonna notice it.. cant even see it..
 
it broke clean off flush with the top of the box...
do i have to hook it back up??or can i just plug the manifold and run it like that??
 
ok well im going to run a catch can with it if i do hook it backup,im pretty sure i can piece something together,,but heres another question,,theres a hose going from the motor into the box,thn a hose coming out of the box to the mani..
can i eliminate the box and just run a hose straight from the back of the motor to the manifold?

1st pic enlarge it, you can see how I have it on top, bottom's like i said, lil electrical tape cause the elbo pcv boot at the parts store is a tad to loose feeling.. didnt want that bitch coming out.. I Didnt put the pcv in the boot then tape it.. thats to ghetto for even my standards lol reuse the plug that goes from the hose (Bottom side of pcv) into the box.. I think i used all the same hoses with little effort..

Bout to sell this car as soon as this 91CRX si makes its way down to where I am.. LS Block sittin in the garage from my last TEG.. this one just needs TOOO Much and its a f'n AUTO.. Sellin it for $1500.. has a valve sounding clatter but its not in the head cause i just put it on there.. Probally a bearing or wrist pin shot.. Dont feel like dumping ANY Money into that car.. If it was only a 5spd.. blahh.. Had a 5spd, got hit my a suburban.. SUCK..
 
Im pretty sure that if you take it off there is a big hole where the box goes into the block.
 
Oh Snap, its the box end that snapped.. Damn me for not paying attention and assuming instead of sittin 2 feet closer to the monitor and looking.. haha I snapped the intake plastic bullshit.. dude I got one of those sittin in the garage, hell I'll send it to you free if you need it that bad.. if you cant figure a fix out lemme know..
 
ok even easier then, go get that assorted vaccume fitting package at any parts store that has the right size fitting for hose, take whats left of the plastic peice, cut the male/male vaccume adapter you got, in half.. leave bout a good inch inch and a half.. and jbweld that bitch on there haha
 
lol i was just going to look through my racecar trailer for a plastic piece,and jbweld it..i dunno ill figure something out,,if not ill be getting back to ya for that stupid box:D
 
I wouldnt JB it, high-temp RTV or the like would be the best IMO.


Dont think that would hold, maybe some of that radiator patch shit that comes in a tube, most of them work on plastic, for high temp, and rock hard.. or get dreative with a soldering iron and melt away.. shit if all else fails, thread the hold in the box run a fitting on there and to from there.. lol lotta approaches to it
JB Weld makes that radiator putty also.. I didnt use that one though cause the one next to it on the shelf had more types of plastics listed.. and I didnt feel like wondering (Is it abs plastic or blahh plastic..) probally neigther, then again they might just be to cheap to list all the plastics it would bond and just named 2.. who knows..
dude people make bongs out of fruit... coke bottles, pvc pipes, you name it its been done.. If they can do that high, and make it work.. this shouldnt be to hard lol
 
eh im not using rtv because gas eats away that shit..and gas/oil/carbon/shit are going through that box...ill figure something out..STONERS TECHNOLOGY FTW!!!!
 
On my engine, I was able to take the whole barb out of the black box. If that's possible, just get a brass one.

If it's not possible, try taking it off (the whole box) and reaming it to fit a new brass barb in there for a replacement; then when you forget again (from what I understand it's pretty common), it won't get broken. :D
 
jbweld will melt. it won't hold it

talkin bout the puddy to patch a crack in a plastic radiator its bout the sizeof a middle finder in a plastic tube, pull a peice off and role if in a ball to mix the outer shell into the middle.. Its for ALOT Of stuff radiators I patched my g/f radiator with it.. she got backed into, in her cavileer, and it was just enough of a hit it broke the Plastic nipple off the top right mount. like a garden hoze spraying. I used that, to put the nipple on and seal it.. still rock hard and working..
 
ill just use a fitting thats slightly oversized..

I plan on getting the T1 catchcan kit. Its tyte! Looks awesome to. Check them out. Google for one. Pricey but a must have for a high boost motor
 
fuck that im running an ebay can or homemade lol..the only thing im wondering is..is it better to have a breather coming out of it,or leave it stock
