You'll see the hose in the second to last picture:



So yes, the can just goes in between that hose.
Good pic! Yes, just plug a hose from the PCV to the top side of the can (our can that is) and then run a hose from the top center fitting to the valley fitting. The fresh air is pulled from the front of the TB. Hey, you need the billet tensioner pulley on there!

Question

i must be retarted....

sorry guy; bare with me...

i see the hose coming from the valley cover fitting; that one goes to the top fitting on the can. I see the hose coming from intake and i kno that goes to the side of the can.

what hose goes to the top of the TB then; also how about the fuel line end?

Just so i am clear; i have a '01 Camaro SS

Was this pic just to show me a better veiw of the hose; did i just confuse myself?? lol

no the one from the valve cover goes to the top port on the can. The hose from the intake goes into the top side port of the can. if you take the hose off of the TB and put it on the top of the can, what goes back to the TB?

as far as the furl line; the above picture says it. I kno the one ond of the PCV goes to the top side port and the other end stays where it is, but what about the "fuel line

idk, i think i just confused myself, can someone clear this up for me??? I feel like such a tool bag...

So there is no confusion, our design is different and the line from the valve cover to the frnt of the TB stays intact unless you are doing the breather mod. This is where the filtered fresh air comes from. Also, due to our internal design we pull the vapors from the valley cover fitting into the top of our can & out the side/top to the PCV valve & into the intake.

In the meantime (and if you have a chance), can you take more pictures our how it is setup. The ones you first posted were very nice, HOWEVER, the lighting wasn't. i just want to see where the hoses origionate from and see what it all looks like setup.

From the intake manifold through the PCV valve & to the upper side fitting on the can.

Awesome; i just recieved the kit, opened up and it looks like a very well made/kick *** piece!

Could you retake your bottom pic with bigger resolution? I tried to blow it up and it gets blurry.

thanks!

The pics above show an Fbody application.

Viper, that is almost identical to our design! First I've seen that one.

Question? I have the pcv baffle in my drivers side valve cover and route my hose to my intake, why is not mine drawing engine oil? like everyone else? When I have removed to check, I find just a little moisture? This is good correct?

Yeah, the only reason I like the design is they use 2 catch cans (not for everyone!) so you can use one on the fresh air source too (in the event of road racing where oil may go in reverse).

On FI applications we like 2 cans as well like you describe.

just ran across this thread while researching this issue as my hoses are open to ground and I wasn't thrilled about the tuner doing this. Have you considered adding stainless wool or mesh inside the can. This will greatly increase the surface area inside for the oil to condense.

Also, the reason for two catch cans at high RPM is because at WOT, there is equal amount of vacuum on both sides of the throttle body. This puts equal vacuum on both the PCV line(side with catch can) and the filtered air line(side usually left stock). The block is now under complete vacuum. This is a performance bonus. If the right rings are used, it can add horsepower. This is why the Nascar guys run vacuum pumps to pull the block down.

Under part throttle, the intake manifold side (pcv side) sees higher vacuum than the vent side (befor TB), and therefor fresh air flows through the valve covers to remove oil and fuel vapor. This keeps the oil cleaner.

It might be a good idea to use the main catch can for the pcv side, and a home depot style oil seperator on the vent line for those WOT escapades. The large one should flow enough air.
