Air comp catch can question
I want to make sure I have it right, you want the filter to flow into the throttle body correct? There is a arrow the points how the filter flows and want to make sure I got it right.
Anybody interested in a write up with pics? It's pretty simple but I have done a search and a lot of people are asking.

Get tubing off of the PCV, route it to wherever you want it to tie into the catch can (or cans like mine), then head it back towards the intake where you disconnected the PCV from. Arrows will face towards the intake like you suggested. Zip tie it up or retain the tubing however you want and then close your hood. Your done, just check it once a week or so depending how much you drive. I can see about getting pics if you PM me your email. I can't figure out this whole linking of pics, damn technology kicks my ***.
“Home Depot” Catch can install
It took about 15 minutes to install.
Parts you will need:
-Husky mini general purpose filter (air compressor filter with 1/4" NPT ports) #45564 60664
$11.97 at home depot.
-3/8" barb x 3/8" barb splicer--Watts #A-290–$1.97 at Home Depot
-2 1/4" NPT to 3/8" barb adapters–Watts #A-293–$1.92 ($3.84 for both) at Home Depot
-3 feet of 3/8" Fuel Line $1.18 per foot at Advance Auto Parts
-PCV Valve--Purolater #PV1063–$1.68 at Advance Auto Parts (not necessary, but your there anyway)
-Teflon tape–$0.68 at Advance Auto Parts
-Cable Ties (I used 7 of them)
-Lunch for your buddy who gave you a ride during an ice storm–$13.00
Tools:
-Pliers
-scissors or hose cutters
-wire cutters
-15mm Wrench
Instructions:
1. Disconnect the PCV Valve from the hose that leads into the intake manifold.
2. Pull old PCV Valve out of hose with pliers.
3. Push the new PCV Valve into the hose, make sure it “snaps” into place.
4. Insert 3/8" x 3/8" splicer into the hose from the intake manifold.
5. Take the two 1/4" NPT to 3/8" barb adaptors and wrap the threads with the teflon tape.
6. Screw the adaptors into the ports on the filter with the 15mm wrench until tight.
7. Connect some of the 3/8" fuel line to the barb splicer from the manifold to the filter (side with the arrow, the flow arrow should go to the intake manifold).
8. Connect the other side of the filter to the PCV Valve using some 3/8" fuel line. Use cable ties to secure it to the A/C Cannister.
9. Secure all connection points with cable ties for extra security.
I’m going to try to clean up the look with some 90 degree fittings. I plan on replacing it with a Next level performance catch can, but for now this will work fine.

guys its really not that hard. the writeup above and on that other thread that is linked above are more than enough. i did this several months ago basically just by looking at pictures that diff people had of their finished setups. all you need are the husky filter, some 3/8 hose (make sure its high temp rated though, otherwise it could melt, cheapy fuel line hose isnt gonna cut it) some 1/4 to 3/8 npt barb fittings to attach the can to the hose and a few hose clamps/zip ties to be sure everything is as tight as possible. all this stuff (except the hose) can be gotten at home depot for like $15. the hose you can get at any autoparts store for like $1-2 a foot (again, the .50 a foot fuel line hose isnt gonna work, it has to be high temp rated. i believe mine was coolant hose rated at 220 degrees. i figure as long as its over 200 it should hold up.)
Absolutely correct. I did the learn by looking at previously posted pics method. I used two Husky and the inline fuel filter like Miami in his post. I also used tranny tubing but bought 6 ft since mine dips down so far. I have hose clamps also to keep a clean look.
Yes, I have two, and yes the second filter does pick up a surprisingly large amount of oil especially after long drives. The inline fuel filter is even soaked which I don't mind either since it means all that nasty oil is staying out of the intake! Plus replacing the inline runs about $3.50 every once in a while. A small price to pay for piece of mind.
DAMNIT!! lol
well i really dont feel like buying another husky and having to re-adjust my whole setup. i got the car used and for the first 30k miles of its life it didn't have any kind of catch can. so it'l just have to make do with the current setup now.
btw, when you say inline filter what do you mean? the little white filter that came with the husky? assuming thats what you mean, how often do you replace it. mines been on the car a little over 1000 miles and its turned from white to dirty white. i have no idea if it needs replacing though. i just figured if i saw it wasnt catching as much oil as when it was new i'd change it.

No I meant an inline filter (fuel) like the one seen in the link that Miami used. I have two Husky and THEN a inline fuel. I didn't put mine on until 118K miles and I am the sole owner. Never to late to try to help out the engine, it's treated me very well (13.2 on street tires with airlid only, and some free mods). It's no too bad the whole setup ran about $50 with all the extras.
