    having oil go in the combustion side isnt good
    for 1. it leaves a oil residue in the TB and manifold
    and 2. lowers the octane rating of your fuel having oil go in with it
    its better off in a catch can then in the induction


    this is how you connect it up on pre VX2

    If your having alot of blowby youve got more issues than losing a tiny amount of octane...

    i just dont see the point putting it on a street car,, the amount of pass by is minimal unless the engine is copping a hard time...

    you dont have a catch can because of having blowby

    you will get oil in the induction in a good engine
    and i would rather to catch the oil in a catch can then it going in my engine
    it may be minimal but still better a black TB and intake stained by oil
    cheers GM

    the oil residue is because of crankcase venting, blowby will cause excess oil etc


    The only reason its sent into the intake is so its burnt for emissions

    i know blowby will cause it to be worse
    but LSx's will get oil in the intake regardless of this
    as I said even a healthy motor will get it
