Show Me Your Catch Can Setup (Boosted Cars Only) - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

John_C · 01-11-2019, 07:57 PM

So I realized (maybe too late) that I needed a better Catch Can setup that is capable of relieving crankcase pressure for my ProCharged L99 after it started blowing oil out of the gaskets / seals at 760rwhp on 15psi on a WOT pull in Mexico.

I ordered the Mighty Mouse Camaro 5 Wild with -12an lines and billet black bracket.

Show me what setup your running and why.

Let me know if it works on your boosted LS by catching oil and relieving pressure in the crank case under boost.

12an off each valve cover to a puke tank

MM Wild Race version— full vent to relieve all the pressure under boost while road racing...

NW 102, RPM 5" are on the way also.

While I was at it, I picked up a couple of spacers for the 102 -- 1 from ICT, one from Weapon-X -- BIG difference in prices (ICT is $25, Weapon-X is $100) so I'll see which one is the real deal -- I'll post my evaluation once I get the Weapon-X -- the ICT is pretty nice for sure!

I see you still have the Mishimoto can.

Is that just for the valley to intake? How well does it work in conjunction with the MM can?

I just ordered a MM Wild setup with -12an and billet black options: https://www.mightymousesolutions.com.../camaro-5-wild

Hoping this relieves the crankcase pressure because the ProCharger is pressurizing mine so much it's blowing oil out of the gaskets.

-6 (3/8") from each valve cover to an older style MM can and valley plate has another -6 with a breather filter on it. Been like this a couple years no issues

eLeSthree · 01-12-2019, 11:58 AM

Which gaskets/seals are leaking oil??

sscamaro · 01-12-2019, 12:06 PM

Elite catch can install.

Inlet-Connect to driver's side valve cover.

Outlet-Connect to S/C inlet.

sub'd! I'm getting ready to order a Mighty Mouse myself. I've seen a lot of different variations for routing the lines on the LSA, I have no idea which is the best way to do it.

Yes, it’s for a clean side venting. Extra protection and yes, it does collect the moisture...

And boy, the MM vents! No pressure issues at all now. 15 PSI as of last log too...

Don't mean to hijack the thread but I didn't really think it was worth starting a new one.... So is this still the preferred routing for the MM Wild setup on an LSA? Why do some setups route lines to the valve covers and others do not? When is that necessary?

hammdo · 01-15-2019, 09:58 AM

Vent from Oil filler tube, block off both valve cover ports, valley pan to the intake tube. I added the small Mishimoto catch can on the valley pan port as a precaution. If you increase boost or go bigger hp, full race vent like I have is the way to go...

Gotcha, thanks.

John_C · 01-15-2019, 09:58 PM

Ok, so I have the Mighty Mouse Camaro 5 Wild.

-12an from oil fill on passengers side valve cover to -12an fitting on MM can.

I have the smaller ProCharger vacuum line that goes in the air filter (suction side) hooked to the small an fitting on the MM can.

I kept the Mishimoto can between the valley cover pcv and intake behind the TB because that mofo catches a lot of water and oil (e85 makes catch can oil look lcaramel in color it has so much water in it).

Does this sound right?

I’ve got to have a bracket made to mount both cans, but for now I rigged it up all ghetto by zip tying the Mishimoto can down on top of the Mighty Mouse bracket (don’t laugh).
