Billet Valve Cover and Custom Catch Can. Audi A4 B7, Oil Consumption Fix.

[@franklynjoseph3863]

So glad I found this video I ordered this valve cover and was trying to figure out the setup….thanks man very clean setup

[@zukzilla2144]

Thanks, glad I could help. Share and like it helps out a lot.

[@yasmanycm]

Finally a video of this setup, thanks

[@CODxFUNxMAN]

This is beautiful and execution of a proper Billet V/C conversion.! Awesome job!

[@MercilessOperation]

I know a video is worth a million words but did you ever get around to doing a parts list with step by step instructions? If you did I am very interested.

[@cameronhuthert3692]

I understand how everything is routed other than the breather port on top of the oil filter housing/cooler mount. Like the top one. Doing my engine build and swapping to a billet cover myself.

[@zukzilla2144]

Using a adapter from IE it comes from the oil housing fitting to -10 comes up to the back of the tee

[@KhoaJess]

Great video, do you have a hand drawing of how this PVC system suppose to work? Thanks

[@HowieLop]

hi, your breather hose had a check valve, how do you replace it when using the AN10 hose? or the check valve was included in the Integrated Engineering Adapter Fittings?

[@trevorpeery5481]

Do you have a parts list for this build

I am going to do this to mine. Brilliant work. Are you able to send a list of the AN components?

-10 for all the lines

[@giovannimora9134]

Have you had any problems with rpms jumping like crazy at idle?

[@zukzilla2144]

No I have not do a boost leak test. Weird idle is from a leak of air after the MAF most times.

[@jamiebenzeleski2889]

When you took off the breather hose on the turbo side. The little hose you just pulled off. What did you use to block that? Or did you leave it open? It looked like you just put the clamp back on it

Capped it off.

What about the upper timing belt cover? It isn't bolted to anything now? Does it just sit on there?

[@zukzilla2144]

No it does not

[@Salmon_Rush_Die]

@@zukzilla2144 Okay, your timing belt cover must be in one piece, therefore bolted at other points unseen in the video. Mine is two pieces: upper & lower. those two bolt holes at the top are the only attachment points for the upper timing belt cover. If I were to do one of these camshaft covers, I suppose I'd have to discard the upper timing belt cover. Not sure if that's a great idea.

[@zukzilla2144]

@Salmon RushDie Never got around to it before selling the car. I was going to use the holes and mounts for the catch can line. Just did not get around to machining the holders. For some reason that is how the aluminium are made. Did not like it when I first seen it. But it works fine very sturdy with the other 7 or so bolts in it.

[@Mightyjem]

How has this held up? Been searching for a solid pcv delete setup, this looks pretty sweet. Any idling issues? Oil in the IC piping? Oil consumption?

[@zukzilla2144]

It works great only problem I have found was when it is below zero the line freezes up and you get pressure building up blowing by the valve cover gasket getting oil everywhere. Fixed it by just by bypassing the catch can and running from the tee to the turbo straight in the winter. Even with that it still uses almost no oil. It was one the the best mods. Went from 1qt or more every tank of gas. To never having to top it off between 5k oil changes. Was just about to the add 1qt line. Should mean no oil in the IC. Runs solid.

[@jamiebenzeleski2889]

So I’ve done this upgrade but with a different valve cover. I went with RMTG and it came with 2 outlets for an fittings on the top. You used a T fitting for both hoses and the N80 hose that you tapped into the center of the T fitting. Does it matter which hose I connect it to? Should I tap it into the hose that goes to the block under the intake manifold? Or tap into the hose that connects the oil catch can and valve cover?

[@zukzilla2144]

The N80 hose can be ran right to the little port on the turbo as well. I just wanted as much factory as possible. As long as it is on the catch can side should not be a concern what hose you tap it into. Just don't want fuel vaper going into the engine. Mine is under vacuum where it is at.

[@jamiebenzeleski2889]

Okay thank you. That’s what I was going to do. I’m gonna keep it connected to the fitting that goes to the catch can. And I also made an extra hose for when winter comes I can ditch the catch can and just go from VC to the turbo.

[@zukzilla2144]

@@jamiebenzeleski2889 I just have a line going from the turbo to the tee. I don't even bother the catch can. I have not seen a drop of oil in the line going to the turbo. Was tired of the line freezing in the winter. Just never went back.

I too believe that the pcv system is junk , because I can't see why my rear pipe that goes to the turbo is full of oil.

So after the valve cover upgrade. You really have no more loss of oil?. I have been chasing this problem for years

[@zukzilla2144]

I was putting a quart of oil every 300 to 400 miles. Put my first 10k and it dropped about a half a quart. Car has 120k so expecting to use a little oil. The catch can has almost all condensation. Empty it every fuel stop. The valve cove being cracked it was just sucking oil into the turbo. Seems to be fixed now.

[@adameusaries]

@@zukzilla2144 thank you for the reply .I have one other question. If I'm doing this set up with a bullet valve cover. I have an after market big turbo with no lines for the rear pcv and the other skinny line for the turbo running to it. As far as the catch can set up what's the best way for me to run it. Should I just do a block off plate with three ports the two front ports to the catch can as normal and then third third port from the engine block to the the block off plate? Or should I tee all three ports to the catch can?

[@zukzilla2144]

So just to clear things up. There are three lines coming from the engine that need to go into the catch can. The billet valvecover, the lower crankcase and the evap for fuel vapers(little one you see me hook up to the brass fitting). I have all three going into 1 tee. Goes into the catch can. Then to the suction side of the turbo. One could take all three lines into a catch can then out to the turbo. Just this setup was the cleanest I could come up with. When I go big turbo I would just need to put a -10 fitting on the inlet side of the turbo.
