    Hi all, long time reader first time post-er; have currently been working through and replacing/adding parts to my 2009 VE 3.6l (Alloytec) and am at the stage of grabbing a catch can so I’m seeing what brands work best for this car. I’ve been looking into Ryco’s but they don’t make a VE...

    Installing oil catch can (and brand suggestions)

    Hi, just backing up a question I asked a few days ago. For those that have installed their own oil catch can how hard is it (I’m a novice)? Also what’s a decent, durable, but not breaking the bank type of brand and kit could you suggest? For a 2015 VF SS n thanks

    Oil Catch Can

    I’ve been hearing a bit of conflicting advice regarding this bit of kit (in new to the world of mods), but I’ve seen a few people come across blown seals and such though mainly in much high output cars than myself (2015 VF SS). Just hoping for some advice on their relevance for a stock build...

    Hi everyone, I've been doing a couple of things with my '04 VZ (SV6) since I've had it, and have been seeing posts and hearing people talk about PCV clogging issues which ultimately lead to a higher risk of timing chain issues. Now, my car happens to have 170K km's on the clock and...

    Help with catch can install

    Hi all I’m looking at fitting a ProVent 200 catch can to my 2015 ssv (series1). Now, my question is how do I hook it up? As far as I can tell I just need to join to this pipe that runs from the right valve cover and joins up at the intake. My other question is what about the left valve...

    Oil serperator/ Catch can

    Hi all I’m looking at getting one of these Mann-Hummel oil separator to put on my VF SSV. (https://www.westernfilters.net.au/content/pdfs/Mann_Pro-Vent.pdf) Question is, has anyone used them on their car? Also they seem to be rated by kilowatt output so would I be better off going with the 400...

    What Is an Oil Catch Can, and Why Doesn't Every Car Have One?

    For any car enthusiast, this article is for you. It's known that the harder a car is driven, the more blow-by gases there are. These gases mixed with oil particles from the crankcase end up in your intake via the PCV system and contaminate the manifold, and cause carbon build up on valves and...

    PCV? like EGR?

    G'day, Have been thinking lately about my old VK, it had EGR on it and we disabled the system with balbearings. I believe that the PCV is much the same principal, are there any advantages from disabling this system on a buick 3800? Are they're any other little tips or tricks such as...
