Rb or vtt pcv valve?
- Thread starter RuskiRacer
- Start date
Mostly am just looking for a good quality upgrade I was looking into Rob's hose , pcv cap , and valve . Just wondering who's running what setup and how it's working for them.
Rob sells a low-side solution. Some folks run that with a BMS high side solution. I started with Rob's, then built my own custom setup. Here's how I would net it out: RBTurbo's solution is pretty simple and straightforward if you just want to slap a low-side solution in. Just add the catch can (which you can go Mishimoto or China knockoff). If you want modularity, to run various configurations, a complete low-side high-side solution, et cetera ... VTT has put a bunch of PCV capabilities on the market that are plug-n-play. You'll need to understand what you are trying to do with the VTT setup (choice inherently increases complexity), but you get extensibility in return.

For now I will go with just a basic setup in the future I plan to go with the vtt valve cover because of the amount of options for crankcase relief. Thank you for your advice
Yep. This is what I do. Seems to work fine. Low side requires emptying ~3x more frequently than the high side, FYI. Still need to clean intake valves, however, unless you plug the intake PCV oil drip holes into the intake ports.
Is that considered the current best practice (Rob low side, BMS high side)?
You can buy just the external RB valve and build the rest of the kit. Just shoot him an email for pricing. That way you can run whatever hose and use whatever vac source you want. I have been running that with zero issues over the past couple years. I would add the BMS high side but I have limited space in the bay.
That is what I run and what I would recommend to 99% of people. Or go with the M18 VC and Radium solution if you want to drop more coin.
RB FTW. You can email Rob at [email protected]
Yeah wish the can was longer to help interval draining.mishimoto style can
There are other company's that run dual setup for a cleaner look but at the end they all pretty much do the same thing,just depends what style your looking for.
We make a PCV also.. But check out our vacuums side OCC solution including a new PCV: https://www.burgertuning.com/products/n54-vacuum-side-occ-kit?_pos=1&_sid=d002bb892&_ss=r
What benefits does the vacuum side catch can provide I don't know anyone personally running it they all just have the high side
The low side catches WAY more oil compared to the high side. The high side generally catches very little.
Depending on the car and engine wear you might get more in the intake path via the boost side or via the vacuum side. Initially the boost side was the main concern but as the cars get older we're seeing more oil control problems on the vacuum side cropping up so developed this kit so we have both sides covered. You can run one just one kit or both together.
I run this setup with the mishimoto catch can, it works wonders man! Can’t go wrong with that one
How does your system negate the need to plug head ports and does sharing the bov vac affect like a tial which calls for quarter inch line?Depending on the car and engine wear you might get more in the intake path via the boost side or via the vacuum side. Initially the boost side was the main concern but as the cars get older we're seeing more oil control problems on the vacuum side cropping up so developed this kit so we have both sides covered. You can run one just one kit or both together.
The ports in the head we block with a double oring in our valve cover PCV fitting. The vacuum fitting source is large enough to feed both ports, no issues observed on that front.
K so it still is beneficial to block ports for very high boost and preventative correct ? Just not nec and thanks for clarifying the bov part I've always appreciated how responsive and helpful you have been i have used your products since the hot pill days lmao
RB Low side, BMS high side (it flows very well), plug the ports. The last part is not necessary, but can be helpful if you're making big power.
Edit: Can also just VTA through a filter on the high side. Not a lot coming out from there so I found that a catch can just wasn't doing all that much in the first place. So, I vented it. Sorry trees
