Skysm182 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I have a question for those of you that have the pcv reroute kit. what is the difference between the blue and the black "T" connectors? The reason I ask is I bought some hose and connectors from lowes to make my own reroute kit so i don't have to buy it from the stealership. This pdf website (http://www.directcon.net/gmc248/Subaru/pvc_mod.pdf) explains the procedure and at the 4th page states that the blue and black connectors aren't interchangeable because the blue connector has an "orifice". what is it talking about? please explain in detail. thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerandt Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Interesting stuff. I have that "re-route kit" on my '93 Loyale and all this time I thought that was the factory set-up? Anyways the blue tee, although the same diameter as the black one, is necked down inside to about 1/4", in the middle where the 90 degree "T" is (f this makes sense). I guess that would be the "orifice" referred to. -Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maozebong Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 bump for some answers. mine is doing damn near the same thing, about a quart every other tank. no obvious smoking, and i still have plenty of power and a strong 20" vacuum.

Stubies Subie Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Is it possible to still get those pictures? thank you can anyone else help answer my above question? I am really sorry, I completely forgot about this, here’s some pictures for you, and if you want the real McCoy rather then hardware bought fittings, I have three complete sets, minus the hose, that’s all that’s missing and if you want to pay postage, I’ll send you a set, but you will have to buy the hose which I don’t think is a big deal. $5.00 for this set sure beats the $50 I paid the dealer for the new one that’s on my car, and I don’t think you can go to the hardware store and buy the correct fittings for any less then $5.00 This is the bypass fitting set (minus the hose) This is the original fitting set that it replaces: This is the new blue fitting next to the old gray one that it replaces: This is a close up of the old gray fitting, notice one hole is smaller then the other: And here’s a close up of the blue fitting: (you can see the orfice in the center of it, at least that's what I think their talking about GD just resealed my engine, and it was drinking oil like it was going out of style, about a quart every 100 to 150 miles (it was that bad) and I put this bypass kit in it and it completly stopped the oil sucking. from the reading I've done, it seems to be a common problem between resealing an EA82, then having it suck more oil then before the reseal, apperently resealing the engine also causes it to develop more pressure inside which is forcing the oil out through the vacuum lines, at least that's my theory. I've also read that you only want to use the stock factory PCV valve, something about spring pressure or something is different with the aftermarket ones, which will also cause it to suck more oil.

fixingrusinc83 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I have installled 20 to 30 of these kits and it helps but lets look at basics, does your oil cap rattle when on tight. if it rattles it is a vacumn leak for the pvc system. Try turning the cap back 1/8 of a turn. leak sealed till you get a new seal. You may think I'm crazy but it works and you can check for a rattle in a split second.
