Evac routing....

[DoktorC]

Is it a must that the EVAC routing go up and over the filters? I'm only concerned with appearance so if it has to go up there then that's what I'll do but it looks alittle neater down low.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks.

Where did you get the fittings for the evac?
And did you use gromets on the filters to hold the elbows in?
Thanks, Jerry

I bought a used set of filters and most of that setup came with them. The filters have a grommet installed and the elbows fit into them. I just re-used my stock hoses to run from the can to the Tee. I did buy an elbow at a local parts store.

Here is Cubby's list of parts...it's about 6 posts down in this thread:

What about a drain?

Exactly lol. I basically copied some of the others that use the stock catch can and most didn't use a drain. Now, the stock system doesn't use a drain and the catch can should catch the majority of oil/crap from the crankcase right? Is the drain necessary?

I also rerouted it last night..again so the Tee is pointed up and the hoses run along the top front edge of the filters. Everything is way uphill from the can.

Hey guys I just installed Freddies kit and is the evac system a must or will I be happy with the way things are. Thanks.

It's definitly worth doing...cheap and easy!

Do a search on EVAC and you'll find tones of info.

This thread shows what I've now got....

Are you planning on installing a PCV in the valve cover and run a hose up and install the crankcase filter that came with the kit ?????

 

[DoktorC]

I wasn't planning on it no..I don't think it's necessary (seems redundant to me).

 

[marc]

Sounds good. When I get my Velocity rings from Freddie Will think about installing the evac system, thanks for you input..

Here's what I've ended up with..

See Dok, what ends up happening is when you shut the sled off at night the water freezes and blocks the vent/evac off. What ends up happening is the valve cover gasket blows out first and makes an oily mess.

The drain allows you to drain the condensation from the evac lines. All you will need is another "T" cut into the line bridging the filters together and then a straight section of hose and a screw on cap. The NAPA part number for the drain is 605-1372.

Hope this helps you out.
