Hey Simon, which side of the Supercharger does the PCV hose feed into the inlet manifold?
I want to fit one onto my Vmax kit from the clutch cover breather and not sure which side of the supercharger it should go?

If I fit on the suck side, does the supercharger have too much suck and cause a problem or if I fit it into the pressure side of the supercharger then is the engine still able to output pressure?

Michael,
It would have to go on the entry side of the blower, and would need a PCV valve in the line.
No way will it work connected downstream of the blower as you have positive pressure there most times except at idle.
my 2c... :wink:
[edit] I think I can see a brass elbow at the blower (inlet) end of Simon's vac hose..


Why not just connect it to the vac port on the SU Michael? Or do you have one there already...

So! I fitted a PCV valve into my Supercharged engine today and it doesn't work :? :shock:
First I had it the wrong way around and found oil bubbling out of the dip stick :shock:
So turned the PCV around and things seemed better but still have a problem in there seems to be too much engine pressure? I am using one of the toyota PCV valves?
The breather is from the clutch housing and I was using an input into the HIF44 carb.
I think the PCV diameter may be to small and too much of a restriction?
Any ideas?

I found the exact same thing. Binned it in favour of a catch can.
