So if your intake pipe doesn't have the port, make one.
...hmmm. the only purpose is to catch blow-by gases and send them into the intake for re-burning. and actually the less pressure on the head the better off you are. hot dirty oily air in your intake sucks.
who told you it's a bad idea?
edit str8 from the boys at ENDYN >>The new Endyn breather kit has been in development for over 4 years. It's designed to provide high performance Honda B series engines with efficient crankcase breathing, while eliminating excessive intake charge oiling and the detonation associated with it.

Regardless of piston ring condition, all Honda VTEC engines all suffer from excessive crankcase pressure at high power and RPM levels. This is caused by extreme piston speed, long camshaft timing events, and a PCV system that is completely inadequate at high throttle angles and low manifold vacuum levels.

Many of today's large displacement B series engines are based on new blocks where Honda deleted the breathing "can" (on the rear of the block), causing these engines really suffer from extreme crankcase pressure (frequently high enough to rush past the seals, blowing the spark plug wires off the plugs.) Pressures like these cause oil and other contaminates to severely degrade the quality of the mixture in the cylinders, reducing power and greatly increasing the possibility of detonation.

The new ENDYN breather kit uses a remote (modified) Moroso tank to separate oil vapors from the air that the engine inhales via the PCV valve, provides two large diameter block located outlets for excessive crankcase pressure, an (off-road only) breather filter to vent vapors to atmosphere, as well as a tank drain-back system to return excess oil to the crankcase under light throttle and deceleration.

The kit comes complete with the Moroso breather tank, Moroso breather element, (2) block vent tubes with aluminum gaskets, PCV valve and neoprene grommet, and all hoses and clamps for installation for a price of $154.00.

speaking of ENDYN... i love this motor, especially the "bathtub" surrounding the intake filter. check out the site, lots of good reading.

that bathtub thing looks like it would cut off alot of air from getting into the filter. Did yall say that the Apexi is the best filter to buy? I looked and i saw one for like 80 bucks! :eek3: Hopefully today i get to put on my new ceramic coated intake and see if it keeps the air (or at least the pipe) any colder.

That system goes in between the cover and the PCV, not the cover and the intake tubing. If you look at the Endyn pic above, the factory VC vent is still straight piped to the intake tube.

Nice try, though.

well here is some pics of my painting process to reduce heat,
1) First coat on the resonator u-pipe thing
2) Finished practice
3) Covered up bubbles, i think i only did like 3 or 4 coats
4) The painted cheap intake with like 5 or 6 coats on the outsied and 3 on the inside.
5) Before it was painted, big difference i think it looks much better

i don't know, if i did i would have to cut the cheap intake because it is 3" and it won't fit inside of the stock air box, i would have to get a cupling to connect them after i cut it. My home depot dosn't have and mandrel bent pipes, i got some PVC thinking that if it was inside that little space it wouldn't melt. Today i will see if the stock air tube has to be cut inorder for it to fit in the bottom of the stock air box. And by the way the painting just made it hotter, i guess it blanketed the hot air inside and wouldn't let it out :sad:
