oil catch can?

[prism1]

can you put an oil catch can in the na's? i like the way it looks and i dont like the hard lines that go over top of the valve covers

Yes, but you're doing it for the wrong reasons...

 

[prism1]

i understand that its for the wrong reasons but i dont care it will have some benifit. i just dont know how to go about doing it do i just block the port in the tb off?

NO!

the two valve covers go into one inlet on the catch can, the other nipple goes TO the TB, your engine is a vaccum, you want to keep "sucking" air out of the engine to ensure nothing bad happens in the oil pan.


and i have a catch can on my n/a... i guess it does something...?
if you hook it up wrong, your doing more harm then good.

Ditto !!

I see so many of these hooked up WRONG......
People run hoses from both cam covers
to the 2 nipples on the catch-can.

When this is done, you have just made a closed system,
and the crank case no longer has a vent.
Crank case pressure will build to the point of causing seal failure.
(crank, cams, intermidiate shaft)
Lip seals are only good for 7-10 psi.

What I did, so that I could still run 2 seperate hoses from the cam covers,
was to drill & tap a 3rd hole in the top of the catch-can.
This lets me vent it.
You can run back to the throttle body,
or just vent it with a hose down past the bell housing
(old school), but this doesn't do as good of job.

When you run a catch-can, you get less residue in your throttle body/ intake manifold,
because much of it is stopping in the catch-can.

proper function/design of the catch can:
