Possible, if it was a petcock such as one on a radiator. I have seen some that drain back into the pan so you recover the oil.

Needfstwheelz, no offense, but why did you buy this product without any know how on its application? It is like buying a FPR and not knowing how to install it in your fuel system. Or buying a turbo and asking how to install it...

 

howeees is the original poster not needfstwheelz........

and while we are on the subject i have heard of people taking the drain line from there catch can(non vented i believe) and running to there exhaust so that it creates some sort of vacuum.......


anyone heard of this and what would be the affects, and wouldn't it cake up oil in the exhaust.

 

Yeah dum dum jarhead.. I made the thread.. and since you dont know how to install it either don't post.. Thanks.. anyway back on topic .. 2 nipples at the top of the catch can im assuming one line goes to side valve cover and the other nipple going to the top of the valve cover which is the pcv. now for the line that the pcv is going to (IM) do i plug off that nipple coming out of the IM ?

 

i don't think code4 was trying to do anything but help, and as far as hooking up the catch can from what code4 has posted im guessing you run a line from your pcv to the catch can then a line from the catch can to you IM, mine was vented so it gets installed differently which is how i explained in my first post.

i suggest you get someone to install it for you.

 

lol i know code4 was trying to help me lol i seen he was or is in the usmc so i had to bust his balls a little bit since i been there and done that. but as far as the catch can, you said run a line to the IM and then run the other nipple to the pcv .. but what about the nipple coming out of the side of the VC that i have the breather filter on currently.. and why would i have somebody install it for me? that would be silly..

 

Sorry howeeez I got mixed up on the OP. But regardless, the catch can only fits in one location. Some people run two non vented cans in situations where they want both lines off the VC catching oil.

Seriously? I have told you how to install it. You install it between the VC and IM or between the VC and charge pipe. The nipple with your silly breather filter on it normally goes to the charge pipe, so if you want that to run to a catch then take the breather filter off.

How are you going to call me out on not knowing how to install one?

 

K let me know if this is what im understanding correctly.. one nipple on can, run a hose to vpc and the other nipple run a hose to intake mani.. Now what would be the best option for the vc nipple on the side ? should i leave the breather filter on it? thanks for the help wasnt trying to be a dick or anything just seen so many diff ways of installing this damn thing when i searched for install

 

Exactly. You can either leave the breather filter on the side of the VC, or buy another catch can to take care of it.

By doing what you just described you are effectively trapping the oil vapor from being pulled from the VC into your intake manifold and eliminating the burning of oil and carbon build up on the piston tops and valves.

Now, if you had bought a vented catch can, like this one:

Excess Oil Accumulator (Catch Can) Kit Rev.3 : atpturbo.com

You would run both lines from the VC to the can and cap off the IM. This method allows to the crankcase vapors to vent to atmosphere (emissions illegal of course) while trapping any oil vapors in the can and allowing the driver to drain the can at intervals.

 

thanks man! i understand...

 

Now could i buy a fuel filter and attach a hose from the vc to the fuel filter and a hose from the fuel filter down into atmosphere? instead of just a breather filter on the vc
