Hi Folks,

Quick one, Stage 3 engine, can you have the engine breathing TOO much?

Currently breathing from both sides of the block, should i breath from the cam cover as well ?

Thanks

 

most set ups ive seen always breath from the back of the cam cover, inlet side

if you look at the underside of the cover it has a section ready for you to drill out

 

Yeah that is true about the cam cover but......................
If you return it to the block on the other side below the turbo, it will be ABOVE the oil line which is no good because the engine will naturally try to breath out it.

How he is doing it is perfect as he is breathing from both sides and oil is returning back to sump returning BELOW oil line .

I am doing actually this on my 4x4 and it is working fine

yeah, always best to return to below oil level, most people put/weld a union joint near the sump plug or on the exhaust side

 

How about mine I have 1 going to the block under the inlet and 1 going to a fitting on te exhaust side in the block then 1 vent to atmosphere

 

as said above mate, ideally need to return to below oil level

 

Will I be ok with just the 2 ports for breathing?
