Well I've heard that the standard PCV system can leak boost when boost levels are increased, and being made of plastic, they can just wear out over time, so I've ordered the FTP PCV V2 Kit off Ebay,
www.ebay.com/i...
and decided to try and test it with my tire inflator, I brought a cheap replacement also, so I tested all 3, including the original one off the engine.
I did have to put on some thread tape on the new FTP PCV but I now know it can hold 30psi of pressure and not leak.
It's the first video like this that I've done and I may have made some mistakes, but I hope this helps!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for making that video. it took me forever to find any video on the FTP PCV valve. bonus that you even show testing it. Great that it held up to 40PSI. that's awesome.
Fun fact: the FTP PCV valve is technically a Chinese part too. It's made in Taiwan.
Thanks heaps for finding me too, that's cool, I'm very glad you like my video!
The PCV's still working with no problems years later now also.
Taiwan makes some nice products so that's alright!
Hi man! Good test thanks. I'll share my exprience with FTP PCV.
After FTP install I noticed smoking sometimes while driving, And oil consumption become 1 litre per 700-800km. I compared FTP to stock valve, I tested it with slow flow (just blow by mouth), not on peak pressure, and FTP was too stiff, so I disassembled FTP, and remove one rubber ring inside, tested again - also too stiff, next step I cut part of the spring inside, and then I got the same action as the stock one. And after this procedure any smoke or Oil consumption has gone.
Oh that's abit different from my experience, I don't lose any oil and I drive the car pretty hard, but thanks for letting me know that, if I ever get that problem I'll look into cutting the spring down abit!
@@ScubaMade maybe it's a different, but I have almost new turbos and engine feels not so bad) And problem has gone after ftp tune) Hope my case is not typical for this pcv
Ok awesome! New turbos must be great, that’s a big job done!!
Yeah I hope so..
Hey, i also have the FTP PCV and started burning similar oil amounts as you. Must be the valve then aye? Would you recommand using the oem pcv valve again?
@@Qonfident I've described my modifications with FTP, I'm stiil runing on it with no issue after my mods. You could buy bms pcv, but I researched that there was oil issues with it too.
You would only have to put thread sealant on if you were doing this demonstration. Since those threads are above the inner pin o-ring and outer middle it really doesn’t matter being that the pressurized air from the intake would still remain in the same chamber.
Oh really, thanks for letting me know, it’s always good to learn more about this system!
Great test, thanks for sharing 🙌🏻
Awesome, Thanks for watching!! 😁
Bought ftp and when it comes I will test it as You did before instal 🙂
Sounds good! let us know how you go 😊
so with this pcv, no need to have a catch can right? because the pressure control the blowby which goes back to the intake
I'm not 100% sure how it all works yet, but I do believe I need to take the valve cover off and plug up the 6 holes in the head on the intake side, I'm not exactly sure what else I'll need to do for that to work but for now I'm not focusing on that, I do want to take the intake manifold off and clean the intake ports sometime soon though!
@@ScubaMade you should only plug the holes in the head, IF your fitting an external PCV valve, with say, a M18 Valve cover. with the OEM cover, and an external pcv/catch can setup, ie, RB external pcv + Mishimoto can, you still even then, dont need to plug the holes. since the RB kit, bypasses/blocks the flow of air from the cover, to the holes. and sends it all through the catch can.
I run that exact setup and its fine. I have the high + low side catch cans, and they do collect alot of oil/water. Lowside collects maybe 3 times the rate of the high side.
if your using the OEM style PCV valve, you need to have somewhere for the air pressure to go, and it has to go into the inlets. These oem style valves, dont do anything towards reducing the oil buildup on the inlets.
Yeah that’s good to know and thanks for clarifying that! I have learned quite a bit since making this video and I don’t think I’ll ever plug up those holes in the head.
Hey do u still have the ftp pcv valve installed ? Still going good? I just installled one on my car
Yep still in there, haven’t touched it since I put it in and haven’t had any problems with it! It’s been a couple of years now!
doesn't matter it it leaks on that side, it's behind the gasket.
Ohh ok, fair enough!
The inner pin on my ftp is so lose I don't know why. There is also an o ring on the inner pin but don't see the point when it's that lose
Hmmm that seems abit strange then..
The link dont work for me :( ive also seen vargas turbos make one like this for $60 usd
Ok yeah I guess it’s a few years old now.
I saw this one on eBay too:
www.ebay.com.au/itm/184339542237?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=tdhnqlplrac&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=hHOnfYh8QRq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Is there supposed to be a spring inside ? I don't have one be
Yeah there was a spring pushing back the pin in the opposite end from where I was blowing into.
@@ScubaMade I got a spring and reinstalled it. I just hope the spring has the right load. I shortened it so it's not too tight.
Ohh ok, I hope it works for you then! Sounds good!
You was blowing the pcv valve the wrong way mate the pressure goes up we’re the valve is not down
I think it has to close when the back pressure of the turbos are high, otherwise the pressure in the crankcase is getting to high and you will blow the seals in your engine. That will happens if the valve is leaking.
Ok, thanks for letting me know, I'm still abit of a rockie when it comes to the N54 as I've only owned and worked on mine for a couple of months now! thanks for your input though, I appreciate it!
If the pressure goes up will it still leak like in the video
Maybe, I hope the pressure doesn’t go up that much though.
Блин а я не намотал ленту наверное он у меня пропускает 😢
Так нужно на резбу нанести герметик или ленту?????
Yeah I did on the one I got, I’m not sure if they’re all like that or not though!
@@ScubaMade Я проверил свою у неё тоже было такая же проблема я намотал лентой и поставил чувствую разницу 👍
Ok sweet! That’s good to know, I’m glad you were able to fix it! Thanks for watching my video about it too 😃👍🏼
@@ScubaMade Если у меня на клапанной крышке двигателя имеются микро трещины то может загореться чек энаджи
I don’t know if the engine light will show up, it will just leak oil, the low oil warning could come on but you’d have to loose a lot of oil.
I hadn’t noticed any cracks in mine so I haven’t needed to change it yet, I do have an old video where I change the valve cover on my n52 engine, it’s pretty different though haha!
