Some of the oil mist and other products settle along the engine intake and over time form a “gunk.” The oil catch can collects the oil mist and condenses the fuel vapors while allowing “cleaner” gases to be passed back into the intake.
I know what blow-by is. I'm just saying the cars are designed to run like that from the factory so I seriously doubt you will see any benefits from running one on a lightly modified Z. Money can be better spent elsewhere.
