I found this to be a good spot to mount the Elite Catch Can with the bracket that comes with it.

What does all this have to do with mounting the catch can? I keep reading the thread to see new ideas on mounting but all I see is a discussion about effectiveness.

Would it be possible to see a zl1 throttle body that does not have a can installed to see the difference? Just curious to see the with and without.

All these people argue against the RX catch can but have no idea how it really works. When you have oil vapor, which is what, 250+ degrees, going through the filtering medium of the catch can, which is well over 100 degrees cooler, it is going to condense on the filtering media, which in turn will drip down into the bottom of the catch can. You don't need 10 feet of hose and all this other junk, just buy a catch can, install, and drive. Trying to be extra creative and saving $30 just isn't worth the effort in my opinion. |

In fact, I posted a thread a couple weeks ago how I used the RX ZL1 bracket to mount my Elite can in the same area. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=277911 I noticed on many of the alternative location posts, the cars have a cold air intake. For those of us with the OEM air box and no immediate plans to install a cold air intake, your location is the best choice.

So I say mount it in a cool location and it works better. There is no denying that. |

What other junk is there? It is just a longer hose which helps condense also. Nothing else but now the CC is out of the way of the engine. |

I never said your can does not work, I said it did and would work better in a cold place to be mounted. Mounting is the subject of the post. Last edited by Skylane765; 03-09-2013 at 01:15 PM. |

You will not see anything unless you have excess blowby the PVC could not take into the front of the SC. It is the blades we want to keep oil off of and the intake runners, plus keep the octane up. The black hard line going from both valve covers and then to the bottom of the elbow is to supply air TO the engine, then the dirty air goes out of the top of the Valley cover to CC then to a low pressure inlet of the snout of the SC after the TB. Even under boost the in put of the SC is in a low pressure area. |

Will this type of filter suffice for the Rx catch can test?

Do not leave it in long or it will clog after time. I just used a clear tube and a paper streamer. A filter will remove the oil also, that is how some units work for other applications.
