So Im cutting the pvc line, then attaching the supplied hose onto the pvc line with just a supplied clamp, no fitting??, and then to the can.

From the can the supplied hose to intake

Sorry for being a dumbarse lol

Or keep your plastic PCV line intact.
Get a length of 3/8" ID fuel hose and make yourself 2 hoses.

Hose1
From the nipple on the left rear valve cover to the inlet of your catch can.

Hose2
From the outlet of the catch can to the right front side of the intake manifold.

Yeah I didnt really want to cut anything... looks like I have to get some more hose.

Thanks for your help VX-300

I recently purchased an Elite catch can and they are so well made and easy to fit.
The Elite catchcan might be a little pricey but it only took 15mins to fit and that included putting a 2-5deg bend in the bracket so that the inlet hose cleared the LS2 map sensor.
After a couple of days driving there is already a few mil's of oil in the can.

Unless your engine is in really poor condition a sealed one will work perfectly and be legal,
Vented catch can are actually illegal on EPA grounds.
I konw they are expensive but i fitted the Elite Catch Can and couldn't be happier wit fit and how it works.

That's how I set mine up. The PCV line is just made of PVC plastic (costs $39ish to replace) so I cut into it and did the catchcan as pictured. PCV still inplace and all nice and legal.

Venting the manifold to the TB doesn't seem right.

ok bumping up an old thread. where would i get one of these inline filters?

[brycieboy]

any auto shop should have them... there just small fuel filters....

[goose202]

Supercheap have them for about $4.

I just finished making up my new catch can out of a piece of 4" stainless exhaust tube. Here is a pic of it before the last dash fitting was welded on.

guys this is a little confusing, ive got a cv8 monaro with ls1, its got a v1 vortech blower not intercooled at the moment but will be soon, can some one please post up how i can conect up a catch can to it, i also need to know if i have to run a vanted or sealed? ive noticed when i stand on it it pushed the hose off the passenger side rocker cover and blows oil out all over the place....also notice that every now and then the oil pressure light comes on and the dash starts beeping this is during normal driveing and also having fun...could this be due to the s/c causing crank case pressure and pushing the oil to the top of the engine and starving the pick up??would a catch can fix this???its worrying me incase the engine seazes,
