Just put it in the Pictures section. That's where us second rate citizens go. :P :wink:

It's probably just a matter of Dave and/or Josh not realizing you're wanting to put a thread in the build journals forum. I'd venture a guess it'll only be a short time before you have access.

Huh, so do we have to PM an admin to get permission to have a build thread, and then start a thread in that section? I figured they just eventually got moved there...crap!

PM Josh (Legacy777) or Dave (DLC) about it.

...and MOST importantly my neighbor Matt for his assistance as well (answering several phone calls as I'm asking questions).

You know why you're not getting any respect... because you've turned your back Subarina even after she has tried to come home. How can a man claim to be a true Legacy supporter with an attitude like that? :).

Ouch baby, very ouch.....

Subarina is very far from home and has a ton more miles then when she left........ I want the 'ol girl back but I just can't really swing it right now. :(

You sir, have driven the blade deep, down past the hilt and into my very soul.........

*sigh*, you're right. That might have been a little uncalled for. My bad.

Lee does a 5mt swap and thinks he's a bada$$ now...

Car looks great Jason. I've got some diagrams of the PCV system if you'd like them. It was really helpful for me when I installed my catch can.

YOU DID NOT JUST SAY THAT!!!!???

Thanks for the offer on the diagram. I used the one that Vikash posted up of the factory setup to map it all out. You just need to intercept it between the crank case and the PCV correct?

:P Next you'll be posting about how your floor pans blew out when you were having manifold problems...

Jason, do you still have Vikash's PCV diagrams? I can't find the copies that I had. You're correct though, you need to T the crankcase from the PCV to the intake.

This is what I've done so far, I'm sure there will be a revision to fix the ghetto fab but it works for now. A brass T connector, one end to crankcase, one end to PCV, and the top end goes back to the intake. I'm not sure how to integrate it into my catch can, but I think the ideal setup would be to have a filter between the crankcase and where it splits to intake and PCV. That seems impossible to do, so I'm considering inline filters like Josh did on his setup.

These were a great help putting the car back together!
