FYI... Dave, that won't work on this engine. This is a 1.8, and it doesn't have a PCV valve.

Okay, right now I have a tube running from the oil filler to the air cleaner on my single carb setup. should I do the same thing with duals (about to switch)? just have the blowoff go to one or both carbs? thanks guys... |

That depends on the filler cap. The 1.8L has a different oil filler assembly because of the L-jet injection. This is a 1.8L filler cap, so it has a very large hole on it to hook to the air intake tube. It also doesn't have a PCV valve or head breather tubes. If you have a 1.7 or 2.0, you have a different filler cap assembly, and Dave's directions are spot on. |

this is what I ordered. How do you suggest I hook it up? one tube coming from the oil filler cap into this box and then vent out the engine tin? seems a little funky...
The guy at CB performance suggested running tubes from the valve covers and then into the air cleaners (drill a hole). Suggestions? (IMG:http://www.cbperformance.com/catalogimages/1754.jpg) |

Hook it to the breather box,and use the two tubes provided in the valve covers. |
