How large are the inlet nipples for the Boomba can? Thinking about picking up one of their Evo ones as that would be a better hose routing for the LNF pcv system.

Plug that hole, slap the breather onto the back of the valve cover and call it a day. I've had mine like that for a year now and no codes...
This is what I did and have never had an issue. I checked the small filter on the valve cover the other day and it was clean as a whistle - no oil anywhere on or in the filter.

for those running breathers... just wait till you make over 20psi and rev to 8000+ rpms. youll spray oil all over everything. catchcan is the way to go, its more expensive and it looks like ass IMO but in this case its function over form. i want whats gonna perform not whats gonna look better.

I included the powdercoating as well. But stainless lines and those AN fittings cost big money

Powdercoating what..?

I bought a bag of (5) anodized black -10an fittings for $30 and (2) stainless lines, both which are 2 1/2 feet long, for $25. Lastly a Moroso breather tank for $70. My setup looks exactly like yours.. Same amount of AN fittings, and stainless lines, oil cap tapped, etc. Everything was bought brand new.

That's a total of $125, if you can't add.

Go lie somewhere else. You're impressing no one. You're an idiot if you actually think you convinced anyone that it was even remotely close to $500..

Well why is there a need to lie. That's stupid. Might want to lie to someone who doesn't have the same setup next time.

And having the nicest LSJ setup - That is an opinion.

Your right it is an opinion, but I don't think there's many people that think his set-up isn't nice. Personally I prefer the l61, as you saw last summer. Gave both of you lsj's run for your money lol.

Stop being a dick. So what if he spent $500? You're not his wife, it's his money, stop complaining. Josh has an awesome setup on his car. End of discussion.


oh and sub'd

That's not being a dick, that's called - "calling someone out".

Don't make it seem like it's some extravagant setup that costs a fortune. It's a cheap setup. That's all I'm saying. I'm not dictating his money, by any means. More power to him if he spent $500. Just don't try to bullshit a bullshitter. I have the EXACT same setup and I paid $125.

so who the **** did you copy?

i can't weld so my valve cover had to be modified for me.

i bet you didn't know that when you powdercoat an LSJ valve cover, it melts plastic baffles inside and doesn't let it vent properly.

-10 male fitting for the back of the valve cover = $10.00

having the valve cover modified to take all the plastic baffling off and weld the fitting = $60.00

(3) 90* swivel -10AN fittings = $55.00

(1) 90* 1/2npt to -10AN = $35.00

(7) feet of -10AN stainless line = $55.00

(1) Jegs breather tank = $85.00

Powdercoated custom color = $150.00

HOLY **** $450.00 plus all the random shipping.
