Anyone off top of your head know what size hose from the passenger side valve cover to throttle body?

I don't see any problem running it that way, but it would be easier to just put the PCV closer to the catch-can.

You speak of not using filters on the catch cans due to un metered air (MAF) metering I assume? what if there is no MAF, speed densety tuned? It should'nt mater then should it?

Just a question.You can get a dual catch can for both the clean and dirty side PCV but if your running a single can on the dirty side (which is most important) but aren't you still coating your Intake with oil (but nearly as bad) if not running a catch can on clean side as well.Wouldn't it be best to say go with a dual catch can or go home?

Looks like the one I have, Rev extreme or something like that. They have it at WS6store.

EDIT: it's the Norris Motorsport catch can.

Most, if not all of the oil is from the dirty side. I've never had any oil issues through the clean side, but I do run 2 catch-cans on the dirty side just to keep the oil vapor deposits to a minimum.

Thats what I would imagine but I read somewhere where someone had a dual catchcan setup up.1 for dirty side and 1 for clean and by the time the dirty side was full he caught like almost 1/4 full on clean side.


Can anyone running that setup chime in?

im running the setup shown in the picture but with both passenger side valve cover ports capped off, would it be better to run the front port uncapped until i can get a hose to run from the throttle body to that port?

thanks in advance

I just skimmed threw all 24 pages and tried to make since for my setup but fail to grasp it 100% I know this has been covered 100,000x's, i know! and I'm sorry, but...

i have a 2002 camaro, just want to make sure i get this correct b/c it has a fresh motor collecting oil in the intake manifold. anyway i have a

ls6 valley cover
ls3 intake
my edelbrock TB doesn't have any hose port connections
passenger valve cover has a breather in place of oil fill cap.
drivers VC has no port for hose connection, must have been swapped out during the engine swap.

I think the Norris can is the most reasonably priced can. The Rev xtreme and the "Shidokia" can are probably better due to them being a dual can setup but they are more expensive.
