I am using the 1/2" coolant/heater fitting, slip by thread.
I got it at advanced auto parts. they are not over the counter.

umm...so your using half inch barb...that big. wont fit the part where you drill in the baffle. so say i drill it on top of the baffle its to big of a hole

what do you mean too big of a hole?
if you are worried you can test drill on the old v/c.
the drill bit will remove alittle bit of the material from the bottom of the v/c top section but not much at all.
what i did is center the drill bit onto the slanted section at 90 degrees. started the hole then rolled the drill to level with the top of the valve cover. use a smaller bit for a pilot.
drill in steps,so if there is an alignment issue you can address it.

rendon resize those please!!
and labeledsk8r, are those air fittings???? lol
LOL....i cant
200+ ALL MOTOR LS VTEC
yes yes they are haahah there still the size needed for the hoseing and only cost 99 cents each compared to the barbed fittings for 4.99 each, cost of build so far
1/16th of an inch thick alum can free
3 air fittings 99 cents each 2.97
breather filter 9.99 minus 10.50 store credit basicly free
jb weld 4.58 with discount
black paint to paint fitings/jb 92 cents with discount
cost of build so far 8.47
still working on the bracketing but i still have alot of leftover aluminum stock from other projects
instead of having a filter on it, can i run a hose into the stock air intake box? or will that be fail? i wanna keep costs at around $0 which is why i ask lol
if its a sealed catch can then yes

doing performance modifications while trying to spend $0 usually equals fail hahah

So is it one hose to the black box and one to valve cover from catch can,or is it both hoses to the valve cover after adding another nipple?I want to run a vented catch can.And what do i do with the pcv valve.Thanks
