DIY Catch Can Install
After much research, I decided that my LQ9 could benefit from a catch can and that I could make an effective one while saving a few bucks. A lot of credit to guys on LS1tech and Morphs on the Grrrr8 forum. I purchased an Ebay 'catch can' and modified it with parts from my local Lowes store. All said and done, I have right around $50 bucks invested in this set up including the purchase of the catch can.
Here's the Ebay can I purchased:
Not much to see on the inside:
I then made a template out of cardboard to get the dimensions:
And then turned that into the buffer/baffle using .025" steel:
Added an inlet tube using copper pipe attached to the inlet port:
Used the ole trusty JB weld to install and seal buffer/baffle in the can:
And added stainless steel scrubber material in the outlet side to promote condensation of oil vapor:
I attached my catch can with some spare brackets, nuts and bolts I had laying around to the alternator bracket and ran my 3/8" PVC hose.
