I just installed a catch can and would greatly appreciate if someone could confirm I routed the hoses properly. I know this is simple, but I don't want to screw anything up. Better safe than sorry. I pulled the line running from the PCV valve to the intake loose at the intake. I routed the line to the inlet side of the catch can. Then ran a line from the outlet side of the catch can to the intake where the hose from the PCV plugged in. Is this correct? I've seen some videos where the outlet hose from the catch can was routed into the valve cover.

Thanks for your replies.

sounds correct

Also curious if there is really any benefit to having a clean side oil separator. Why would you need one?

CARRJET

to my knowledge the catch can is all you need to keep blowby oil outa your throttle body

That is exactly how my Elite Can is hooked up.

Clean side oil separator is probably not necessary unless your car is turbocharged, supercharged, has excessive blowby, or spends a lot of time at WOT (like, on a race track).

thanks

Cool

thanks

need to know what make and model catch can before anyone can say for sure how it should be connected

tomz240

I’ll have to check to see what brand it is, but it’s relatively simple it has an inlet and outlet.

David@MMS

if it is a sealed two port can then one side would go to the intake manifold, and the other would go to a line hooked to the stock pcv exit

tomz240

It isn’t sealed. The cup unscrews so you can empty it. But there is only an inlet and an outlet. That’s the way I have it hooked up. The PCV is going to the inlet and The outlet is going to the intake. It is just a cheap Chinese deal off of Amazon. It is called evil engineering. It does say it’s baffled if that matters.

Open that thing up and stuff some chore boy or scotch brite stainless steel scrubbing pads in it. All that moisture needs to be caught/filtered by something.

already done.
