ls oil catch can install
 
Just picked up a single catch can used for a good deal. Just wanted some input on how to route the lines. Right now the pcv is deleted and I have a breather on the oil cap. Iknow I need to use a regular oil cap with no breather. Other than that I've seen a couple ways to route it. Just wanted some clarification.

I thought a catch can had to go in the PCV line, where else would it go?

It can be routed a few different ways actually. Did you check out the LS1 tech forums? Or just google image it man, lots of different ways to do such. Looks like a dual catch can setup would be much more effective imo.

if you run a breather that isnt attached to the air intake after the maf then your are sucking in un metered air threw the PCV System. will it make a difference? Maybe. its best to ask the tuner BUT i know its not recommended. un-tuned anyway.

Thought u said u deleted the pcv?

smokinss 04-04-2012 04:30 PM

I did. But the breather just smoked and spewed oil everywhere. Plus I was still burning oil out the exhaust. So I bought the catch can which has a pcv valve in the top of it with a fitting for one hose,then the other side is just a regular fitting with a line out. Much better than the factory shit.
