CCV Mod

[black_cloud_stroker00]

started the CCV mod today. turns out a 3/4" PVC cap is too large, maybe a 1/2" cap will work.

Another note, the port where the CCV goes into the intake track is facing toward the air filter. That seems to be backwards. As the air gets sucked through the filter it lookes like it would force air INTO the CC instead of draw it out. Am I wrong?

The CCV connects to the air intake on the vacuum side of the filter. Ie-its between the engine and the filter.

Make sure you get that hole on the intake tube sealed good cause if you dont dirt will by pass the filter resulting in your dusting the engine.

well, rerouted the CCV. check another mod off the list. I was able to buy a
3 1/4"L x 4" od piece of PVC coupler for Menards and it worked perfect.

I knock one mod off the list and now I have to add one ( cleaning intercooler), its a neverending process.

Winter start-up

I read some were that the ccv helps in winter star-ups some how. By creating pressure for a sensor of some sort... I will try and post it,

Qusetion will the ccv mod hurt me here in NJ during winter start-ups?
Also doesnt it lubricate some part in the intercooler?

A "Stock to the Bone" 1997 does not have a intercooler. There is nothing in the intercooler that needs lubricated - no moving parts - just a radiator for air. The ccv mod will not hurt you during start up.
