catch cans?

Swifty1638 · 02-12-2008

What's the CORRECT way to run an oil catch can? there are 2 spots from the VC to go to the can-1 with a pcv. Does one just run both lines to the catch can? I hear you need a vaccuum source for it to work properly-is this true? any help is appreciated..thanks!

Ideally you'd have 2 cans. One between the valve cover and PCV/intake manifold and one between the vc breather and intake pipe. I'm going to modify that a bit and run both my PCV and breather into one can and then route it to my intake pipe to use as the vacuum source.

Make a catch can out of a gatorade bottle and a tiny breather filter from the autoparts store. They work wonders.

I'd really like for someone to take this serious and answer the OP's question. I'm interested in getting a proper catch can set-up as well.

If you could supply the good info, thanks to Kracka for some already, it would be appreciated! Possibly a link to the product if it's not too much of a hassle either!

Thanks!!

Another thing to remember, you never want boost to enter the can and ideally you'll have a vacuum source attached to the can to help the crankcase breath and to clear gasses (the intake pipe works very well for this as does the intake manifold).

I'm going to the GReddy sale on Saturday the 23rd. If they have a couple I will pick up a couple extra's and sell them cheap =)

Anyone have photos of their setup as I am looking to properly hook up a setup like this. Can you Y the 2 off the valve cover into 1 into a catch can and have one vacuum line running from the intake sucking from both of these all the time or is that too much?

Heres how we 420a's roll. Whether this helps or not or is completely stating the obvious. Anyway

Is there any good way to do it with only 1 can? Do you think that putting a small filter on the one and only hooking up a catch can to the other one and then routing it to the intake before the turbo will be enough?
