Default now THIS IS A CATCH CAN !

i got sick of blue smoke from my pressurized crank case so i welded two -10AN bungs and ran some pushlock AN-fittings to my valve cover.

a custom 1 gallon catch can, with a -10 outlet to a pipe that goes to the inlet of the filter, and the otherwise is a racetronix crankcase e-vac system with a smog pump/ racetronix harness ( will be routing it back to the intake pipe too once i get the correct hose)


enjoy !!







bung to e-vac pump





tank drain





Valve cover to tank fittings



driverside outlet side to intake pipe




completed tank





valve cover had to weld a plate over a hole that was in front of my -10AN bung. Also drilled more holes in the shielding plate to evac more pressure






welded two -10AN to the valve cover

Hey, that looks familiar! Here's a few on my car, I guess great minds think alike.

I actually have -10 using Push-Lok ("LOL Plus" brand hose, that cracks me up!), connecting the two covers for cross breathing, and then a -12 from the factory PCV port (bung welded to the cover) running to the breather. No vacuum setup currently, though the system can utilize it if I choose to in the future.





Crossover bungs welded into the stock valve covers.

Thats the biggest catch can I've ever seen. Looks good.

I just got the same vacume block you have in this pic. Have you had any problems pulling vac from the oem pcv hole? I'm thinking about putting my brake booster hose back together and using that hole to pull vac too. I dont have my pcv any more either.
