How's this look? (Catch can) Just finished my cam swap + Installing my new LS6 Valley/Catch can set up. Here are some pics for ya... :) http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...Picture035.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...Picture034.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...Picture032.jpg You know whats wierd to me... The line the goes from the throttle body to the passenger valley cover, doesnt that thing defeat the perpose of the catch can? I mean, thats a direct port to sucking in oil withought the filtration of the catch can. Just looks fishy to me... Input? Joe |
it seems the throttle body hose should be hooked up to the catch can and the other two teed into one into the catchcan as well |
looks very clean! |
yea i think they both should run through the catch can. thats how im going to do mine. |
Wheres the PCV valve? |
Yea thats what i thought too, but one look into the corvette forum and it told me otherwise. Also i fallowed the intstruction's... Some people are running two catch cans! I have to see more picture's... I know i did a search a while back and i found a thread that had a bunch of picture's or everyone's different set up, i cant find the sucker now. |

very clean. i might lower it a bit if you can (its hard to tell from the pics) |
Looks clean man .. And doesnt a Catchcan eliminate the purpose of a PCV valve?? I had a AMC? i think it was, but took it off, didnt do much.. lol but kinda make things worse i duno... |
some bomb ass shit right there... make me one? :) |
Looks backward to me. |
that's very similar to what mine will look like once it comes in. I just ordered mine on monday. For the record mine will flow.. Valvecovers -> PCV -> Catchcan -> Intake manifold That's the majority of what I've seen for those that don't have the LS6 valley PCV system. |
That line that goes from the TB to the passengers valve cover is to let the PVC system breath.Its pulling in air from the TB to the valve cover not the other way. |
https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...ighlight=catch Many pictures in that thread. The people that run a catch can to the PCV only do it because they dont have an LS6/LS6 Valley cover. |
ls6 valley cover is not a cover and pcv valve in one, it is just a cover with an outlet to hook the pcv up to instead of hooking up to the rocker cover. LS6 motors stll have a pcv valve between the valley intake and the intake manifold. nice setup! |
line from the valley cover should go to the bottom connector so the oil can fall to the bottom of the can, way you have it now, oil will get sucked thru the manifold on its way down |

looks good... but if you want it to 100% get the oil out of the intake (the purpose of the catch can) rip teh whole pcv system off, throw it in the trash, cap all of that off, remove that hose going from the TB to the valvecover too, cap that thing off as well, run a line to yourcatch can on the side of it, and put a filter off the top. Any oil mist that would have clogged the little filter will now get colleted in the can, and you're now venting the pressure out thru the can. That's hwo I have mine hooked up, i reused the amw can I bought back when they first came out, looks/works fine. Ya don't really need the can actually, you can just put a filter on the end of a hose off the ls6 valley cover too, but eventually the oil fumes will saturate it. That is a nice looking catch can to by the way. |

It shouldn't matter either way if you keep it or dump it. |
