    my can is vented, it's run from the metal hose line off the back of the oil pan(the one that used to have the little rubber hose on it that went to the black box) up to the catch can. i left the black box on the motor, but its been cleaned out with gumcutter as to prevent any of that nasty old sludge to come out all over the place. the only thing that really pisses me off, is that the fitting coming off the oil pan is at such a shitty angle for running a line. theres little clearance from the driver side axle. it took me 2 hose clamps(tightened to DEATH) and a bunch of "persuasion" to make it leak free.

    i still need to drill a extra hole in it so i can run the line from my vlave cover to it as well. i don't want to recirculate any of this shit anymore. it's not beneficial to the motor. period.
    all i needed to know. Ill be doing this soon.

    I have a couple empty cylinders laying around. I need to get off my ass make one and do my Vac removal at the same time.

    you don't have to worry about oil getting up to the can either. mount the can up high, and as far away as possible. mines on the firewall. and i've never had anything come out the drain when i open it.

    Re: HOW TO: DIY catch can



    it's the only pic i have right now. but you can see the crazy angle i had to run the line, just so i could not get in the way of the axle, and not kink the line going to the can. it kinda loops around and gently sits on top of the master cylinder cap.

    Re: HOW TO: DIY catch can

    ehh..it's not that bad.

    but if you have the tools and resources and time, then remove the pan, baffle it, and re-do the line for the can, and then re-install it.

    Re: HOW TO: DIY catch can

    what i think he meant was run one line from the catch can to vc and the other to the black box or tube.


    the answer :yes you can.

    Re: HOW TO: DIY catch can

    just installed mine and have a question.. do i keep the pcv valve? or do i just remove it and run the line straight to the box.

    and the epoxy did not get along with my paint and the paint chiped off the in aera.. but there are no leaks i vac tested the can lol ima put some jb weld around the bung anyway though when i add another one for the valve cover (currently have the valve cover ran in to the intake) and yes i do need a vaccum cap for the manifold will get one tomarrow

    http://s242.photobucket.com/albums/f.../catch-can-y0/


    EDIT:
    top 4 pics are the finished pics for the night

    and i decided to run the line from the oil separator straight to the catch can without pcv valve... and im going to add another bung to the catch can and add the valve cover line to it, also going to get some vac caps since the hoses with the bolt in it are gay lol
