One of the lessons I learned very quickly from my 'last pass' is that a pcv valve doesn't work on a turbo engine :)
How do you guys vent your engines so oil doesn't come out of the breathers?

Ya could use one of these. There is a better model from other mfgs that has dual inlet and dual breathers. If I find it, I'll post it.

Breathers like the ones above work fine as long as:
1. There is foam inside.
2. There is a baffle to keep the rocker from spraying oil directly into the breather.
3. Your rings are good. :D

The big named turbo engine builders use two of those tall billet breathers per valve cover.

Looks like just what River Dave needs when he goes to the Sand Bar and has all those boats running by him too fast. :rolleyes:
I bet you could inject propane into the exhaust just before the spark plugs they put into the tail pipes for a really good fire show!!!! :lightsabe

Bet it would look badazz running right at dark :devil:
I've seen it work on a few of the lowriders on TV and it DOES throw quite a flame...guess I'll have to find an old set of headers with the burndown bungs in them and see :D
wonder if it will work as good as the rotating sprinkler head plumbed into the pump hand hole cover ?? :messedup: :D

That unit would be perfect for those running Enderle injection.
With all that raw fuel pouring out the pipes it may act as an afterburner. :rolleyes:
