Ok, I read through all of this and I'm cross eyed now. Lol.
I have a centri style blower with an elite catch can pulling from valley tray and a pcv valve inline from can to manifold behind the tb. The oil filler cap has an open vented cap now also, non valved. This is an ls3, the factory pcv point on pass side is capped like the factory point on driverside. What is the correct way to hook this system up?

Hopefully I can help a little here.. Granted I'm not sure what the setup is for a centri but I would have to assume it has the same as any top mounted blower. The real question is do you need a 1 inlet or 2 inlet catch can... I've seen it done with both methods. Also some run 2 catch cans especially the elite engineering cans as they only allow 1inlet/1outlet instead of 2 inlets... Yes.. very confusing I know.

As you have stated, the 2 connections on the passenger side just behind the Throttle body are your typical LS3 connection points. The lower (silver) nipple goes to the Inlet of a Catch can... The Upper nipple (black) goes to the outlet of a catch can. (see my image below)

With FI... all steps are the same, except for the PCV inlet connection installation. Inlet is located on supercharger body unit somewhere.... and is routed to the outlet side of the catch can. So.. the Superchargers inlet comes from the catch can outlet...

This is designed for a GT-R but it seems to be very high quality. Yes a bit pricey. But it's a large can that takes into consideration a twin-turbo setup.

If I had a twin turbo on any car, I would seriously consider this catch can:

Thanks Patrick. I got it sorted out with a couple installers on here, thanks guys! It is hooked up correctly with the exception that I need to run one more hose from the valve cover, pass side, to the hole on the intake side of the centri air filter. This way there will always be crank case evacuation taking place whether it be in vac or boost.

That is a really good photo. Not easy to get that shot.

So much better in the can than in your intake.

Denis · 09-21-2013, 10:25 PM

Very true.

Here's what my Moroso can has caught in 3 months or roughly 300 miles.

Firebird2xc · 09-22-2013, 04:02 PM

So... I'm eagerly awaiting my Rx Catch Can and the breather cap I ordered with it.

... I've been reading up on Breather caps for the Oil tube and some say that you shouldn't do it because it introduces unmetered air into the system... Is this accurate? And if so what would be the effect?
