No no....run the green tube how it was but put a filter on the valve cover.....so just how you had it but just a filter on the valve...so its a sealed like stock...
SO just take out the blue line and just a filter the rest is good.

hmm but id rather run that to the catch can since i have a filter there now and its gets all oily if i drive it in the high rpms alot

yup. no "Y" or "t" splice though. keep the lines separate all the way to the can.
no vacuum if you are using a filter on the can.
now the other way would use a vacuum line to the can and no filter(sealed) . does that make sense lol.
you know what my civic leaked oil from the black box, all i had to do was replace the o ring.

kk ill probably do that then

i was not saying that the stock shit works as good or even better than the catch can. And i never said anything about the B series having a "Black Box" other than the B20A. i was just making a point that the pcv valve was a type of filter, and that the black box was not an "OIL WATER SEPARATOR" even made the point that it has a low oil holding capacity making it a really small catch can. i never said it would work better. and knowing people with 400hp hondas does not make you an expert. (Unless you built it that is) but i have CLIENTS with 400/600 and 800hp hondas too. 2 of witch were built by "Skunk2," and the other "Comp. Clutch" it doesn't mean i know everything. but i know this. i have a buddy here with a 432hp "single cam" d16z6 bosted with 26psi running the stock pcv valve(NO CATCH CAN)(mainly because he's cheap). again!!! i'm not saying its better than the catch can, i will always recommend the catch can. But its working for him, ...for now atleast
Now I think that we can all agree that other than regulating the pressure the pcv valve also blocks (or) tries to block the oil from getting into the manifold, Correct?
And the "Black box" is not a "Oil Water Separator". it also keeps oil from getting to the manifold. Correct?
And a catch can "IS" better than the stock PCV Valve. Correct?
Cool. now lets all get back to being lovers and post some really cool catch can ideas.
this a air compressor inline water separator. it also works great as a catch can. and unlike the aluminum catch cans with this you can see the oil level so you know when to dump. pick it up from any hardware store for around 15 bucks.
LOL.. Thats true you where pushing my buttons haha. i have buddys but i helped then install it. not like i was there the whole time but you know.
Those air compressors work great. I was going to install one in my scion but never go to it.

i've noticed ever since i put my moroso catch can on that my oil always looks clean on the dipstick. even right before i change it. it never gets really dirty. PCV systems are disgusting things.

So what is the easiest way to hook up a catch can to a n/a honda?
So in a N/A Accord, would you guys suggest venting the catch can with a filter, or running it to vacuum? Should the black box be removed to avoid letting it do its job or is it fine to just leave it there?
From what I understand, you have a line coming from the valve cover, a line coming from where the PCV valve would go, and either a filtered vent on top, or a line going to manifold vacuum. Am I correct there?

Carbed, so no pre-throttle vacuum. I'm just really interested in getting all of the nasties out of the oil. I'm kind of starting to suspect that the PCV system is contributing to my smoking issues.
Also, when I hook the hose up, I am hooking it up to where the PCV valve goes, and not the vacuum port that plugs onto the PCV valve, right? I would think that just running it to the PCV vacuum port would cause a major vacuum leak and a high idle, and in my case probably a no run issue.
And you will know me by the cloud of smoke.
you could run a vented can, or if you wanted to use the stock vacuum port you will need a pcv valve. If you don't use one you'll introduce a huge vacuum leak.
you're only other option would be a slash cut tube in the exhaust with a check valve. summitracing.com has a slash cut kit.

no i thats why i have the silver can still connected

looks good. now take it off and paint it to match the car.
If you wanted to you could add another fitting for the crank case.

89T - yes i did notice a increase in fuel mileage. but the oil staying cleaner longer made me more happy than the mpg haha
my can is vented, it's run from the metal hose line off the back of the oil pan(the one that used to have the little rubber hose on it that went to the black box) up to the catch can. i left the black box on the motor, but its been cleaned out with gumcutter as to prevent any of that nasty old sludge to come out all over the place. the only thing that really pisses me off, is that the fitting coming off the oil pan is at such a shitty angle for running a line. theres little clearance from the driver side axle. it took me 2 hose clamps(tightened to DEATH) and a bunch of "persuasion" to make it leak free.
i still need to drill a extra hole in it so i can run the line from my vlave cover to it as well. i don't want to recirculate any of this shit anymore. it's not beneficial to the motor. period.
