    Default venting the pcv (honda material)

    set up is a single cam boost (nothing serious).. what do i need to do with my pcv i know its not good to keep it with the crankcase pressure. Should i disconnect everything for the pcv including the box ir what? i kno i should get a catch can but for the time being..

    As long as you have a healthy motor then you will be fine leaving it the way it is stock. You will have some extra crackcase pressure but should not be that much unless you have a lot of blow by and then you have bigger problems. You can do a catch can but not always needed. You may want to change the PCV valve just to make sure it is working correctly.

    ^Like this gentleman said, you don't need a catch can, but It won't hurt to do one. Most people end up doing one anyways. I would go ahead and install one so you don't have to worry too much.

    i kno there are differnt set ups... what would be best to run on my setup... cause i checked it out just a few mins ago and i disconnected the hose that goes from the pcv to the crank chamber thingy and now that line is leaking a little bit of oil.. so im guessing i would run that hose to on part of the catch can, and the other from the valve cover?
