I did this mod to my truck in hopings for improved response and better mileage. The truck does run smoother, does seem to have alittle more ooomph. I probably could've used a catch can but.....????????????? anyway. The only downside of this mod is the oil smell at idle. It is not strong but the smell doesn't bother me. I actually rather like it
The mod only costed me $20 and some odd cents for both filters and a 90* vaccum hose to adapt to the PCV hose. The red filter was the easiest. The picture below indicates where the old vaccum line used run into the throttle body and the plug where I plugged off alongside the orange adaptor for my FIPK.
The blue filter is for the PCV hose. This is where I had to buy the 90* adaptor hose. I didn't want the filter just dangling around in the engine so I zip tied it to the bracket. I would've used both red filters but AZ only had 1 left so......... The cool thing is when the engine is hot, if you pop the hood you can see the filters venting steam from the crankcase. Looks like an old steam engine
I will have to clean the filters from time to time which is no biggie. I'll have to find out the correct procedures for properly cleaning them. Thus far, I am happy with this mod and I would reccomend it to anybody.
To sum it up, it's basically the same principle as a catch can only the vapors and residue are being vented to the atmosphere. Here is a pic I took. Sorry for my engine being so dirty
I need to clean it once temps. reach above freezing,,,,,,op
