FYI that's impossible. The PCV goes to the crank case. The inlet tubes suck air out of the valve cover. The manifold and the inlet tubes are always always in vacuum unless at wot when the mani is at zero or in boost when its +psi. Air can't get sucked into the inlet tube from the outside and then get pushed into the crank case as the crank case and valve covers are always having pressure built up. All those hoses are out's, not in's. that's why the valve covers and cranks vents are hooked up to two different vacuum sources. They are always pulling pressurized air out if the block and valve covers. Only at WOT does the crank case vents get blocked off when the PCV gets pushed closed. But the valve cover vents are always getting air sucked out no matter If you're at idle, wot NA or TT.

Hate to tell you this, but you're wrong.

Our cars don't have a true PCV system apparently, it runs in a vacuum, or at the bare minimum, it is vacuum assisted when at low RPM. At any rate there is definitely an IN and an OUT.

They suck metered (and filtered) air from the intake tube through the crankcase and out the outlet to the intake manifold.

Poorly made diagram attached.

RED: Filtered air into crankcase
GREEN: Air from PCV valve to can
BLUE: Air from catch can to intake manifold (vacuum line)

Nice job! That looks awesome!

Thx brosef!

If you want to do the same setup I can give you a parts list and info on how to fabricate your air/oil separators to go in the cans.

Total parts cost with everything was like $80 with shipping.

Can I get in on this too?

Maybe I should do a DIY or something... I didn't take a lot of pictures because I was in a rush and honestly, I didn't try very hard to make the parts I fabbed pretty, just functional.

I'll need to make some diagrams illustrating how to fabricate the internal parts.

You'll need some basic tools like a dremel with cutting wheels, maybe a hack saw and a bench/tech vice of some kind.

Please do. A DIY and parts list would be really helpful.

Send me the list dude. I'm also looking at a catch can setup that NeverBoneStck did on his G37 with go kart catch cans but good to have plenty of DIY options :tup: but yes, you definitely should do a DIY on this cause this is a very nice setup. Much cleaner then most out there.

Boom.

Ill take your word then.

Sub'd to read later,

What does it do for your Z?

A catch can? The same thing it does for any vehicle. It collects the vapor that the pcv system and crank vent feeds back ito the intake tract. This way you're not adding oily vapor to the clean fresh air your motor is trying to burn.

Alrighty. Not trying to be a jerk or anything, honest!
