almost done with my hci swap and have a few questions
the breather hose that goes from the valve cover to the throttle body, is that necessary or can it be capped off at both ends. I do have a pcv valve and all in place, but have read about the motor maybe needing air from that fitting. is this true? i don't want air sucking past seals or whatever the downside of that is. if it is necessary, why? and can i do a vented catch can setup?
ive put in a silla 3 core alum. radiator, and mishimoto dual e fans. i cant seem to find an overflow that will work in this situation. i would like one because i need to park on driveways i cant leak on, and i dont want to run a hose to the ground just straight from the radiator. i bought a canister style one from JD's performance but i think it wants you to weld a tab onto a frame rail up front to bolt it to. i have relocated the battery to the hatch, so the stock battery location is open, does someone make a nice looking setup i can self taping screw into that area? the only way to hang it off the radiator would be from one of the 4 nuts and bolts that holds the fans to the rad, and im trying to avoid some parts store plastic one if i can.
any suggestions?
