    catch can?

    Been snooping around the ls1 sites, and seems most of their guys are running catch cans inline with PCV. How many people here have one? Talking to a guy at work, and he said he catches a bit of dirty oil, definately worth the money....input on our engines?


    (looked at his car, and it seems to hook up on the passenger side right by the tb, I know the pcv is on the rear driver of trucks...not sure if that affects anything other then placement on the car)

    I say it's a good idea to have one I mean everything that's going into the can would be going back into your intake and gumming up the valves and robbing performance. But there is NO reason to spend $25+ on one. I know for afaxt that this is the same as the one Virgil has on Clfford. They all do the same thing so why spend souch on one?

    the 5.3 setup is on opposite side....you can get cheap ones for civics for $30 on ebay. Don't really need THAT mount, which is what you're paying for.

    I got rid of my PCV and just put it where the old system went. Works pretty well
