Default Catch Can

Guys does this look setup correctly? This Revextreme can has a built in pcv valve on the side. I took the factory pcv valve off the car and hooked up the side hose directly to the intake manifold connection.

Not that you need to,... but it might be a good idea to clamp the hoses down in case they manage to back off somehow

Thank you. I went and bought some hose clamps and put them on there.

im not that familiar with the catch can setups.... but I would think they would work better if the inlet to the catch can was lower than PCV vavle i.e. the feed line sloped into the can. maybe it doesnt matter with how much vacuum the motor pulls

Holy crap that's a big *** can!!! Just a question, but is it really necessary to have a catch can the size of what looks like a 2 liter soda?? Maybe I just don't understand something. Sorry to hijack your thread op...

No offense taken. What I've heard, learned, and somewhat believe is that the bigger the catch can, the more it catches because the amount of surface area inside the can. Think about it. If you had a catch can the size of a pop can, do you think it would catch as much vapor, oil, etc as the size of this can? Maybe its all false.

Looks correct, but i've never seen one mounted that high. Can you lower it down around the ac condenser somehow?

I have it mounted in the wrong hole on the head. I wanted to see if my hood will close with it mounted that high. Its much easier to empty the can with it in this position. Its hard to get to when its mounted in the lower hole on the head.
