sorry to bring up an old thread. but ive just disconnected my pcv valve hose and put bungs on either end (inlet manifold) (side of rocker cover) and running 2 lines from breathers to catch can...blocking the pcv cannot do any harm can it? also know since ive blocked the pcv ive noticed alot more blow by comin out the filter in the catch can now... hrmmm...with the pcv hooked up could that somehow drop oil into the exhaust side of the car and blow clouds of oil smoke now and then?

i know this is very old, but saves starting a new thread.

as l0WRB stated,

after fitting rb26 rocker covers i have eliminated the pvc valve on my rb25.

this caused MASSIVE blowby, my catch tank filter had oil smoke pouring out of it..

how do i set up a pcv on rb26 covers on a rb25?

Don't want to start a new thread so im asking here,

Ive had some rough idle and rough running at very light throttle and trying to hunt the issues down, so I notice my PCV valve hose is cracked, the hoses on the rockers I haven't connected to anything and I noticed theres a fairly strong suction happening there,

is it normal to have a strong vacumn coming from the rocker cover hoses?

would having this hose not recirculating be creating a vacumn leak? eg same as an atmo BOV?

Im wondering if the pcv valve might be open creating the vacumn and therefore creating a vacumn leak,

thoughts?

you are correct, the PCV connects to the plenum, similar to any other vacuum hose but the only difference that seals off on boost to prevent boost leaks.

If you have broken hoses on the PCV connections and leaks on your cam/rocker covers it will affect your idle. To get around this just replace the hoses or completely block off the PCV and run a full atmospheric catch can setup.

thanks mate, i think ill seal this PCV valve off to be sure and see what happens, i think this maybe the cause of the car wanting to stall when i quickly come to a stop after a squirt but will have to see .

sounds about right, also are you running a PowerFC?

yep and these issues only popped up when i first did the GT30 upgrade and the rocker covers wernt plumbed back into the intake pipe, so makes sense now :wacko:

if you're having stalling issues after a squirt, there's a menu on the hand controller that allows you to adjust the decel fuel cut off (same page as idle), if you set it a little higher, like around 3k ~4k rpm the motor doesn't hesitate or stall after a good squirt

if anyone's interested:

[Rev. Limit ] レブリミット rpm
[ the F/C A/C オ フ ] when decelerating when the air conditioner turns off return rpm of fuel cut
[ the F/C A/C オ ン ] when decelerating when the air conditioner turns on return rpm of fuel cut
[ the IDLE A/C オ フ ] idling rpm when the air conditioner turns off
[ the IDLE A/C オ ン ] idling rpm when the air conditioner turns on

    • Not yet, might end up being easter now, didn't end up getting time off over xmas.    I've been seeing some concerning things online now too. Lots of people with issues, could all be setup issues but the consequences in some cases are significant.    All of the below are other peoples stories, not mine and are unverified.  Seen 2 x broken adapter ring that destroyed the gearbox as it failed.   They still do seem to have twin plate rattle despite claims of silent. Several issues with it not holding power but some evidence of constant pressure on plate. Setup issues with bite point.   Lot of people after 2-4 weeks swapping back to another brand.    On the positive side, I've seen a barra put down near 1000hp at the wheels and its held it.  Also everyone seems to confirm the pedal is light.    Does have me a little cautious and looking at ATS carbon clutches again .......        
    • I'm late to the party on this one but good to see common sense has prevailed and the turbo kit is coming. 
    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
