Catch Can Install

[WLDLS1]

i dont know if you guys know this but the colder you keep any oil going into the catch can the less chance of any mist going to the intake. if oil is hot it will give off mist. if cold it will drop to the bottom of the catch can and stay there. this is proven so do a search on the net. it pays to mount your catch can away from heat. mine is mounted inside the grill area where it is kept cold. not one bit of oil in my intake. works so well. just something for you guys to think about.
i will gladly let anybody look at my intake and see for themselfs. SPOTLESS.

that makes sense actually. And i spose tucked away behind the bumper, it wouldnt be visible to any prying eyes...

well i can tell you its all true. my car has now done 106ks. i did that mod at 67ks. i did clean the inlet with carby cleaner when i did it but to this day it is clean as.yes i run a in line fuel filter but i can tell you and will try to put up pics it is still spotless. no oil in there at all. the inline fillter gets no oil in it at all. i change it every 2mnths for piece of mind. works for me. i must all so ad i get bagged for doing this by mates but as i say. mine is clean and theres is oily.

Hey guys, sorry to resurrect an ancient thread but we G8 owners are just now trying to work out catch can installs for our L76s. The cans pictured here appear to be the elite engineering cans, yes? Assuming so, please, which bolts did you use for the actual can mounting?

Thanks!

Hi mate, usually the mounting bolts and bracket comes with the catch can, if you buy a good quality one like the Elite Engineering one, it will all be included. I can't say much for the crapBay ones though.

If you've got an L76 engine then the tube with the red line drawn on it here is already connected to the rear passenger side rocker cover.

All you need to do with an L76 is this.

Hi guys . . Thank you for all the usefull info in this thread . . Should this be one of my first basic mods to prolong the life of my gen 3?

Well it's a fairly cheap mod mate, and it's for the good of the engine. It's the first thing I put on my ute when I bought it and it started filling up straight away, I noticed oil in mine after a day.

So I'd say...yes. An exhaust isn't going to prolong the life of your motor, neither is a cam or an OTR.

VX-300 - so what happens if you have an L76, but are changing to an LS2 valley cover setup?
Do you plug the rear passenger line that goes to the intake manifold port, and run the same setup as the L98 one you have described???

Sweet - luckily I bought that when i bought stuff from Fraser recently!
So it is just the black plug i think - I have a fair few parts laying around at the moment!!!

Your posts here and on other forums have really helped me with the whole process!

So for a L76 this is all that needs to be done, correct?
