how many people are running catch cans on there set up. in the past i just put a check valve in the PCV line and a filter on pass. side valve cover. but i have been looing in to a catch can from Elite Eng. what do yall think?

 

im running one

 

do you still put a check valve in the pcv line? and a filter on the valve cover

 

i run both valve covers into a catch can with a filter on top of the can. You would be suprised how much water and crud collects in there!

 

I run an Accurate Machine works can on my 05. No check valve as they started using a fixed oriface in 03 or 04. I get a 1/4 cup every month or so.

 

If your going to run a MAF, then don't vent the catch can or valve covers to atmoshpere (breathers), the system has to be sealed, but if your are not going to run a maf the breathers are OK... If you allready knew that then sorry for wasting space in your thread. I run a CCA catch can, but i am NA.

 

Im running both valve covers to a catch can with a breather and a big breather on my oil cap. Im still running a MAF also. why do you say not to use breathers with a MAF???

 

Because you letting in "Un-metered" air into the intake post MAF.. So your Maf is measuring a certain amount of air to use for the Fuel equation, but your allowing more air to come into the intake via the breathers that the maf is not seeing so your airflow calculations will be off...

basically you just made a vacuum leak.

 

What is the point of a Catch Can? Any pictures or descriptions of where it goes?
