This is just an idea so please inform me with anything that would make this impossible on our cars.

In the thread I linked to prevent excessive oil consumption through his CCV he used a provent 200 catch can that has a filter inside to separate the oil. It also has a drain line that can be used to transfer the filtered oil to a container. However he used this line and routed it back into his oil sump using his dip stick tube. He says that he has gone from a quart ever 7000 miles to absolutely zero consumption. I would be interested in someone doing a similar modification to their s2000 to try and prevent the smokescreen. I bring this up because some people aren't comfortable removing their valve cover let alone drilling holes in their baffle. Any ideas?
I don't mean to thread jack just don't see the use in creating a thread for something that is purely theoretical as of now

I think the provent 200 does a pretty good job of separating all the gas from the oil as it has a replacable filter and an out line that takes the air back to your manifold.

thanks again dustin!
this is my car in the video, and i was downshifting to 2nd because 3rd would lug to hard with the oil consumption. with the modded cover installed i had more than enough power in 3rd to not downshift! that alone is huge, one less shift! i did not install a catch can with the modded cover either. i have been black flagged during time attacks for my smoke screen, as you can see from the poor teggy that had to drop back.
this isnt a baindaide, it is the solution to the problem. in the offseason my valve cover will be sent off to dustin(rain h8r) to have this mod done.

My only preference to the catch can set up that accompanies this mod is taking the catch cans back to the SC intake.
Is there honestly no real benefit of doing this? It just worries me that without the cans pulling a vac there is a chance of not venting the valve cover sufficiently.
I run 19psi of boost @9200, would the filtered set be enough for this level of boost. My thinking is the high level of boost being run, the greater the chance of the head pressurising?

They pull vacuum from the factory because they have to.
With forced induction, the boost pressure bleeds past the rings, and the vapor is pushed out of the valve cover. By removing the pcv with a straight fitting, you will have two un restricted outlets. Plenty of breathing
