Rear PCV
scopes:
Cheers Dan for clearing that up, I didn't fancy shortening my life with oil fumes either ...
Could I ask for any links you have for the parts required, also did you run both hoses down the tunnel ?
Thanks
scopes:
Also with the heatshield under the intake, it get's in the way of the hose, any ideas of getting something to run at an angle to slip under the heatshield ?
:happy2:

I'll have to take a look tonight for links, but mine are for 25mm hoses as that what i'm using - you'd need to check/measure what you had with the R-Tech kit. It's just a simple plastic hose joiner and marine/diesel fuel pipe.
Yes both hoses run down in to the exhaust tunnel, made a few small holes in the tunnel and ran a metal cable tie through and around the hoses to secure them
Afraid i can't help with the rear PCV and heatshield, as my original rear PCV is in place, with it blocked off at the front of the cam cover. The gases are also vented out of the front of the cam cover with the hose running across and under my intake pipe. Niki has mentioned that you should be able to get the breather pipe to run under a heatshield, perhaps a slight bend and some gentle persuasion needed?
scopes:
Yes mate, that's great. I think i have come up with an idea to bypass the heatsheild without having to cut the heatsheild.
Something the same as the revo intake uses, to join the boost hose from the DV to the intakes turbo pipe.
I'd rather not have any bend in the hose, as it sit's tight against the heatsheild, through time it may cut through the pipe, just thinking ahead...
Dan_FR:
This is what i used, it is heavy and not very flexible though, but it is suitable for oil and is strong enough to not kink. The connectors just push on - tight fit so didn't need a clips. I'll find a pic i took of my trial fit (still had plastic cable ties while i waited for my order of metal ones to arrive)
