catch can install

[Quadcammer]

I've had breathers for ages. They always worked well, but they did tend to leave a bit of oily residue on the valve covers.

So, I finally went with a catch can setup.

Keep in mind that I used zip ties to mount it to the blower bracket as an interim. I have an idea for a more permanent solution, but as is, its pretty secure, and will just move with the engine.

Basically, this amounts to:

Two EVM-183 pcv valves ($14 together)
6 feet of heater hose ($5)
Moroso catch can and hose barbs ($110)

Pretty ****ing sweet!!!

I think that's the route I'll be going as well

:rockon:

 

[Quadcammer]

thanks. I think it makes for a cleaner solution overall.

Why you use 5 foot of hose??. Is it for routing your driver side PCV to the passenger side connecting it to the catch-can dang....brilliant.

 

[Quadcammer]

Yup, exactly. the pass side is about 7 inches, and I used about 4 feet 10 inches to go around the front of the motor to the catch can.

Best way to do it.

Still may get a little residue from it being that close to the motor.

Only other way, Relocate the battery to the trunk and mount it in the front corner.

Nice job though Quad.

def. good idea and looks better also. i may jump on this trend!

Thanks.

I was happily surprised to see that the catch can is baffled, so Im pretty confident that there won't be much if any residue out the breather. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Does it smell better then the strait breathers? My breathers can smell pretty bad when sitting at a stoplight to long.

Been running that same set up for a few years and works great. No oil smell, no mist, works just perfect.

Yes, that can its baffled and works quite nicely!

I think this is them, but I dunno if it comes with all the fittings needed.

Is there anything else needed for switching?? Like tuning or anything?? I don't know why you would but I thought I'd ask anyways..

 

[Quadcammer]

nope

 

[Solo500]

Are these things actually functional? Just wondering because without it the hose goes directly to the intake.

Hey bud can you take a picture of what you did to the intake on the driverside valvecover to the upper intake?? Did you just block off the upper intake part that goes to the valve cover?? thanks in advance :beer:

They work very very well. Most Race cars that don't have a vucuum pump set up will run them.

The long hose runs from the Drivers side PCV in the valve cover to the catch can. Then you block off the intake connection with a vacuum cap. it is very simple.


Think of it as remote breathers.

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

Sweeet thanks STAMPEDE3 I wasn't sure if you can just block off the intake connection or not..

Same here, minus the pcv's on each valve cover..
