Catch Can Installed

[Turismo]

If it's on a GSR the PVC valve is located on top of the oil separator (small black box) which is mounted next to the oil filter toward the passenger side.

YOu can actually see the valve if you look from the passenger side down under the JR intake past the throttle cable linkage. Mines a 90 degree red elbow.

Finally got mine on also. Heres the pic of mine mounted.






Since this can is kinda big I decided to mount it in the front where things are still a little more open.
I decided to tap the unused hole in the coolant flange 10mm x 1.25 and use a bolt with nuts to lock it in place. Since stores were closed today I used a short bolt temporarily but the longer one will go through both holes on the can.

I do have a couple questions though.

1. Do you have to replace the OE PVC valve with a open fitting? It doesn't seem like having one more check valve would obstruct the flow especially the suction seen under boost compared to NA.

2. On the 96+ GSR install the line from the PVC valve gets "t"eed into the line to the purge solenoid valve. Do you just connect it PVC & PSV to "t" - "t" to catchcan - catchcan to intake barb.

3. When running this kind of closed (Moroso- baffled) can is it recommended to run a line from the valve cover to the can (eliminatimg the breather filter), and if so where should it tap in?

According to TOO's, you should only use one PCV valve on top of the can.
BTW, that's a great place to install that Moroso can

What is the purpose of connecting the valve breather to the catch can?? why not just the little K&N filter there??

[Holden]

With a closed system, connecting the valve cover breather to the can would make the intake suck only on blow-by gasses.

I'm guessing, but if you left a filter on the valve cover breather, you would suck air into the head and down through the crank and into the intake.

I don't know which is better.

Turismo: I have an open system and left the fuel vapor lines connected to the intake as they were. I put a vacuum cap on the Tee where the PCV hose used to connect.

My PCV valve is not directly attached to anything, it is extended with a host and just sitting near the goosneck above the thermostat housing. Keep in my I have an LS.

Guys,

I just joined and I have a 00 Si, Please see my comments in the CLUBSI Messageboards under Got Boost?- JRSC tricks that work.
The catch can is cool but there is a simpler and much cheaper solution for a street driven, non-pump evacuated (a la drag race smog pump crankcase pressurized) motor. TOO's system is great but it's kind of overkill for a </= 2litre motor. You won't find any more hp the more expensive way because they both accomplish the same thing.

here's an example of my jaz catchcan, although i haven't had a chance to get it too the oil seperator, cuz i feel as though its going to be a pain in the ass.. and don't know what i'm going to cover the whole in the intake with yet... but you get the idea
