Catch Can Install

[MJR-57T]

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.

Where are those hoses coming from?

Looks like the rear of the passenger rocker cover and the front of the drivers rocker cover.

Unless the VX setup is different, I thought one went into the manifold behind the TB.

Might just be a hard pic to follow

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,

i would also like to know the answer to this please guys!!! anyone?

OOOKKKKK I fitted an Elite catch can on the weekend on my VY Monaro and after seeing this I a confused as all F***.

I have one line coming from TB and the going from the crank case to the catch can.....ooooo will need to look over it again I think.

Yeah that doesn't sound right. Should be valley plate to top of can. Side of can to manifold. Its really quite simple when you understand how the PCV system works.

Ok, got the instructions and this is what I have done.

I have taken the house off (craked, broken and stuffed) the linked the PCV system to the manifold behind the throttle body. Then once the can was installed I placed a hose from the Inlet on the can to the PCV an another to the exit connection to the intake on the manifold behind the TB.

These are the instructions I got of the Elite site for the LS1 and the same ones that came with the unit.

I can email you a pic as I am not validated as yet.

my heads going to explode, please e-mail me pics deano23x@hotmail.com, also i have a 02 monaro 5.7 litre vortech charged do i need vented or non vented can? cheers

[Cmycv8]

From my understanding vented is illegal but what isn't these days.

What do you want me to send fella, PM me.

My next big project.

The confusion from the pics is because (as I said when I posted them) I hadn't finished making the catch can or installing the hoses.

Here is the finished (completely legal) product.







One -8 hose from the passenger rocker cover to can.
One -6 hose from the drivers rocker to can.
One -6 hose from can, through PCV valve to inlet manifold. (not in photo, PCV was installed after)
One -6 hose from the throttle body to drivers rocker (to supply displacement air)

The tube on my throttle body is capped off is that right? I really need to put one of these on asap and need help the more I read the more confused I get as people have there's on differently! Anyone??

What exactly do you want to know. I think there is more than enough info in this thread. People have theirs set up differently becuase they have different model LS motors with different factory emmision set ups.

Let me know how you go fella, if you go vented it's illegal so you might want to go the sealed unit.

If its so simple, why haven't you figured this out for yourself then, using the info on here.

Where does your hoses currently go into the intake of your engine, the manifold after the supercharger or before?

Do you want a vented (illegal) or sealed catch can? It makes all the difference regarding how you do it.

If you want vented, run your hoses to the can with an external filter.
