that's what i've been thinking about. I might just be better off to get a bone stock car, and then put a Comptech SC unit in it, because reliability is a big factor for me.
what kind of numbers are the superchargers seeing? is 350WHP possible with a SC?
350 is possible with a SC.. but you also have to upgrade many parts that comes with a SC kit.. like injectors,pulley,,,ect, ect... but it would be a little cheaper plus you know what you are putting in your car... a SC is great for every day.. I think you would have alot of problems with that turbo kit..
sometimes i wonder how these different theories come about.. if you think about it, why would you need vacuum on a pressurized system? It is already providing it's own pressure (thus, vacuum is not needed). anyhow, i am glad this got cleared up peacefully.
Since when is the crank case supposed to be a pressurized system? If you have a lot of positive pressure in the crankcase then be prepaired for your engine to fail.
Also fperra, yes you are running a breather, but you are also running a krankvent. There is a differance between doing that and just sticking a little filter on the end of a hose.
I guess the front breather is why I can only could get a little over 500 whp at 17 psi on pump gas.
Hey Fred,
Is your front valve cover Krank vent flowing away from the engine or towards. Mine is set up as both vents flow the air away from the engine. Is this right? Basically, when my rear pcv krank vent is closed due to boost, the front cover vent is now open; and vise versa without boost. Is this correct?
The krank vents both flow away from the crankcase. There is also a larger one and a smaller one and they both follow sufficiently without causing a restriction. You can also replace your factory PCV and install a fitting if you want to and that will create a vacuum faster since the krank vents can out flow the factory PCV.
There are black silicone caps on the krank vents. They are put on the side that should be facing the valve cover/crankcase. So basically just have those caps face the crankcase and you should have the correct direction for the krank vents. Be sure to blow through it though and verify that it is correct just be sure.

Yes, I am running a KrankVent. But if I wasn't running a KV, a breather on the front valve cover vent would have no affect on the PCV operation, and from a performance standpoint, would be better than returning the oil fumes back to the intake manifold. From an EPA standpoint it wouldn't be a good thing to have.
