Thanks for posting Sean's e-mail Kenny.

Jerome & Hugh, on the Krankvent valves, would you use one on each valve cover and connect them to the airbox like the stock breathers, or how exactly would they be installed?

Sean:

Looking forward to installing your new VEC-2!
From day 1...you (and your better half) have been nothing but TRUE PROFESSIONALS and a COMPLETE PLEASURE to deal and do business with!

Congratulations on the fruition of your remarkable effort, and thank you for always remaining "one of us"!

The Krankvent website suggests to connect one to each valve
cover vent. So the passenger side PVC valve is replaced with
a vent and then connected back to the intake - This is where I
would differ - My thought would be to add the Krankvent to
each valve cover with a mini-filter on each vented to the atmosphere - then the
intake could be plugged and sealed. I'm sure there could
be other variations, but the basics would be the same -
vent on each valve cover, and then make sure the oil dipstick
is modified to seal- air tight

I've checked several times and my oil dipstick was always all the way down like it's supposed to be with no creep upwards when I was having crankcase blow by. All the other checkable things under the hood were always tight, too (power steeering, brake, radiator overflow, & windshield washer fluid).

Kenny, if you've followed Sean's suggestion, and continue
to watch your gaskets and seals for evidence of oil leaks,
you're probably ok. Also keep in touch with other S/C owners
and share feedback. The Krankvent is not the only solution in your case, - My background with using it is limited to V-TWIN
motorcycles and in that situation it is the ONLY REAL SOLUTION.
but in that case you have 2 huge pistons creating major + & -
pulses and almost NO crankcase air reservoir, so it is a more
extreme condition. The main concern with a forced induction motor is the ability of the PCV valve to function under high intake pressure - it's a $2.00 part - it can't.

I just remembered something about the VEC2 and it's software that I neglected to mention.

Once you have the software, you'll be able to send and receive new fuel and timing curves by e-mail using file attachments. You can open the file in the VEC2 software and load it into the car via serial cable. Could make for some interesting tuning discussions.

Now I'm either going to have to get 50 feet of extension cable or "borrow" my wife's laptop.

"Hey Sean, could you e-mail me 40 horsepower and 50 foot pounds of torque."

Sean,

I think I'll hook my cell phone up to my laptop and you can email me new programs while I drive.

As wild as that sounds, you could easily do that.

I can se it now.
"Hey Sean, I'm going to the track tomorrow night and will be running 100 ocatne with Nos. Can you e-mail me a degree of timing advance and a little more fuel on the above 5,000 rpm?"

Though that scenario is possible, swiping a card through the VEC2 easier.

Sean
