All my buddies cars are street driven and they all definitely have dipstick tubes lol.

Blow by is not something that SHOULD occur just because you are FI.

So cars shouldn't have crankcase ventilation?

That is meant to prevent blow by

Which like I said, blow by is not something that SHOULD be occurring. And with gouges in the cylinder walls blow by will be inevitable

Edit: no more arguing damnit..

I understand that a small amount of blowby is going to occur and the PCV is meant to counteract that.. but that's when your cylinder walls are clean.. my situation is a bit different

LOL. Thats all I was trying to say. blow by is inevitable. No matter how the engine is built.

The majority of my friends down here have FI cars and not one of them burn oil

Exactly. But an E-vac setup is pretty cheap and helps prevent blowby by regulating crankcase pressure. Racetronix makes a wiring harness for lt1's for $60 and that AIR pump you're selling would work perfectly for an e-vac setup. You'd just have to pop it open and remove the foam. The Racetronix harness has a switch that comes on at certain levels of boost so it doesn't burn up the pump. Thought I would share. I plan on doing an e-vac setup on my car.

The car should be a beast! I'm hoping to get my car on the road in the next couple weeks too. :cool:

Interesting, thanks for the info sir

I run the header style evac setup, and can maintain 8~9" of vac. from just off idle to redline.

It works rather well with my exhaust setup, but have been told that it doesnt work too well with the street style exhaust systems. i.e. pretty much any catback offered.

I think Im gonna get that racetronix harness its like 42$ before shipping and it looks all plug and play

Yea... it's been like a month lol no updates to speak of..

Starting tomorrow morning, my ass is getting back in gear and working on it.
I hope to get the longblock assembled tomorrow, possibly cut the hole in the hatch and get to gettin' on the double pumper.

School starts in 15 days so time is of the essence at the moment
