"Pro Stock" PCV Re-route

[steakman]

I call it "pro stock" for a few reasons:

It was going to be very visible in the engine bay.

It made use of SSteel braided line and I've always liked that and considered its use "professional".

It made use of AN fittings - Anodized Aluminum.

A number of the parts were Tig welded: The oil catch can as well as SSteel billet fittings to match the OEM holes in the valve covers.

This mod was fairly easy to install and relatively inexpensive for the quality of fittings/hose and other parts used. $ 249.00 CAD.

Yea I am aware that there are going to be many that are going to say, well sheeit man, I can do that same mod for 2 bucks with regular garden hose, a copper tee cut out from under the sink and a beer can..!

..yup, no question, & I have absolutely no argument and would never begrudge anyone for doing so with similar materials. You do what you need to do to your truck. & I'll do what I like to mine...and for me, I like the wow factor when I open up my engine bay - it looks Good..!! and I don't mind spending the dollar to get there.

My understanding is that this kit will fit any of the Duramax trucks..as well as other makes albeit with slightly different billet fittings. Bought from SPi in Oakville, Ontario - link to his site is in my sig. (hopefully that is allowed..?)

cheers,

Looks good. What exactly is the benefit of doing this?

[steakman]

Oil from your crankcase is vented into your turbo compressor housing, which in turn dumps it into the IC pipe, which collects the oil film and it blows by the seals and makes a mess in your engine compartment and IC boots. Its a closed system as opposed to open and vented to atmsophere. this way reroutes to the catdfh can and still keeps oil out of the intercooler system.

many posts here and elsewhere on PCV re-route..a good mod to do.

Steakman, we're glad you are so happy with our new reroute kit, thanks for the compliments and posting up some pics for the guys here on DP. The maintenance is very little on this system, I suggest you open the drain every oil change, and the filter should go at least a year before needing a clean if it needs it at all, that is one of the benefits to running such a large filter on these kits.
These kits are also a direct fit for the LLY guys too. We are currently working on an LMM and LB7 kit but might need to reel in some test trucks before we start selling them.

i have a 08 lmm to test with, looks similar to one for vacume pumps for racecars
