Install Shogun Header Evac System

[shimp]

Anyone use one of these kits?  I want to order it and put it on my boat, before Mid-March so looking for anyone with experience with one of these and any input is appreciated.

$159.00, AN fittings (I guess) and Braided Hose not included, just what's pictured in the un-assembled kit.  Anything else I am going to need besides hose and AN Fittings?

Last time I was out at Gibbons Creek finally got my boat running better, with myself (265lbs) and passenger (big boy 325lbs) and cooler half full  :smile16: of beer we got the boat in mid-60's on GPS, held 5000rpms all the way across the lake a couple times.  BUT it blew about 2 quarts of oil out of the dipstick at that RPM, blows some out at 4400 rpm, but really got bad at 5000 rpm, it's always blown a little out of the stick, I only have a single PCV valve on one valve cover currently, looks like this system is nice, has builtin check valve at the valve cover assembly and not at the header and has filters you can clean/replace.

The only other thing you will need is two straight 8an hose fittings for the header and two 8 45* hose ends and some 8 an hose the kit comes with everything else,  you will also have to have welded in on your header if you don't already have it is a 1/2 in nipple coming out at a 45* angle to screw the fitting on your header. let me know if you need some pics I will get some, hope this helps.

Yep, would like to see some pics, thanks much for the info, is it a 45 degree 1/2NPT nipple needs to be welded into the header?  I got a friend with a custom hotrod shop that can tig the fittings into my headers for me, not worried about messing up the chrome though, next season getting them ceramic coated anyway, want to get the Evac setup on there for this season, finish burning up the chrome on the headers LOL.

Also what valve covers would I need for it to fit?  I have some cheapy plain chrome covers now, just has 1 PCV hole near the back right side of motor, and then a push in breather on the front left side.  Don't the evacs need both holes to be 1"-1.5" and both at front of valve cover?  Thanks again!

    Same setup I have on the Belvedere, works very well. Just used a holesaw to cut my valve covers for the breather grommets.
