Just got done changing oil. My friend and I attemped to change the PCV valve. Number one, it's located in the stupidest place. On non-VTEC tegs the damn thing is right on the valve cover. Why on VTEC cars did they put it in such a un-accessable area? But I got to it with the needle nose and got the clamp off the valve and pushed it back on the hose, but then I couldn't for the life of me pull the old PCV off the tube, its cemented in there! Not to mention that my new Purolator PCV looks nothing like the old PCV. I work at Advance Auto, and the computer gives 2 different listings for Integra PCV's, one for VTEC and one for non-VTEC, I had to special order mine from a warehouse in Virginia. Any other GSR members change their's? Purolator #PV1055.

 

I changed mine. I have no idea what the part number is. You need to replace the hose it is connected to as well since it kind of melts on there. The hose is really cheap but almost impossible to replace unless you have removed the intake manifold bracket first. I would go to an Autozone or something as I got mine there and there was no fitment issues at all.

 

i got mine at a dealer, i know it wasnt expencive at all. and u know its gona fit... and yea exactly what shmoo said u g2 replace the hose too. and if u get it from the dealer its a perfact fit.... Have fun

 

Yeah, the dealer is probably the best place. The hose can be bought anywhere. Just make sure you get the right diameter hose.

 

Are you serious! I have to replace the whole hose too! Screw it, I have to have a Acura dealer look at something else on it so I'm just going to have them do it. Jesus, why is the GSR such a bitch to work on?

 

I think the Japanese still hate us, so if you don't have little asian hands like they do, you are screwed.

 

Ha! Good one.

 

Old hoses get hard and tend to crack or break something else when removed, better to replace them with the PCV. Razor knife it where it attached, then makes sure replacement hose is right length and all.

 

anyone have a pic of where the pcv valve is located?

 

my pcv valve took me 5 min to change
