Has anyone used one of these catch cans off of E-bay? They look fairly decent and are priced right. I don't want to post a link so do a search on ebay and they will come up.

 

No.I used a Campbell-Hausfield moisture trap for an air line. Wally world has the small ones, Lowes has bigger ones. I did not do the E bay search, but anything functional under $50 works for me.
Best,

thats what i have right now but i get tired of emptying it all the time. i think i might bite the bullet and buy one.

 

This one looks OK:

I already have one.

This is what i did


I used a mini air filter, and here is where i put it, where the EGR was.

 

there are nicer ones than that. look up "oil catch tanks."

 

I have this one.

I bought mine about 2 years ago and they weren't this expensive. I think I paid $60. It works great though.

 

I also have the AMW catch can and love it. Extremely well made product with a very easy install on my 01 with the optional bracket.

 

Hmmmmmmm...I wonder why AMW did jack up the price? I know I didn't pay that much...

 

i think a $160 for an empty alluminum can is a little pricey, maybe if it was full of beer.

 

I paid a lil over 100 bux with shipping for my anodized one. $160.00 aint worth it to me, and I't still might not work in stopping oil consumtion into your intake, All you People are better off experamenting with a homemade PVC catchcan from home depot first IMO. ether way, I had to resort to valve cover breathers because oil vapors still got through my AMW catchcan. BTW, my intake is clean enough to eat off of now using Breathers.

 

I've taken the liberty of helping our mechnically challanged friends.

Thanks Bill. They are quite nice and highly functional if I do say so myself

 

take a look at this.

I'm thinking about this one:

Looks pretty decent...with shipping it would be right under $40.

 

I just bought this one

A hollow catch can is not as effective at removing oil as one with a baffle system and/or a filtration system. A lot of lower cost (read hollow) catch cans work great on Honda's because Honda's generally don't pull much oil thru the PCV system.

The stock LS1 PCV system leaves a bit to be desired and tends to vary on the amount of oil it allows thru the system. In general, an LS1 will require a more effective catch can to reduce the amount of oil re-entering the intake manifold.

The motor in my bird was in bad shape when I bought it. Part of the damage was caused by oil entering the intake manifold.

 

jeez. makes me want to go get one. what about thunder's racing ls6 pcv system for $150.00???? would i still need a catch can??? probaly cheap insurance huh

 

couldn't you easly put baffles in there make like a sleeve, just take it apart make a 2 chamber for in and out with an open half way down the bottom with say flanges on both sides to make it chamber and baffled.

Just find a used AMW one, thats always an option. OR, do the homemade idea. Thats another cheap possibility.
