LFX Catch Can Setup

[WogBoyz]

I guess Elite it is. Just gotta make sure I know how to fit it right :S

have a good read of this mate Elite Catch Can Installation (LFX) - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums - Camaro5.com

there using the elite there too, should give u a good idea

Its a good starting point the Camaro site however, the mounting bracket they use (LFX) is not available in Australia and the engine cover post they have is not the same as the LFX one on VE. Also the position of the bracket and mounting hardware will not clear the engine cover used on VE. I had to lower mine down to clear the engine cover. You could remove the cover all together, though I wanted the stealth look...

Where did you mount yours in your V6 Hexem?

I bought one for my 8 a while back but still haven't gotten round to fitting it lol I am trying to mount mine on a bracket next to the fuse box, I'm not sure if there is a similar bracket in the V6's though.

Cheers

I might have a pic where I mounted mine on my 8 man

Yeah I remember looking at yours but cos they changed the engine bay around and moved things the ordinary bracket no longer works. Easiest way for me is to mount it on the bracket next to the fuse box, I just have to make up a bracket or something to fit it. I have just been to lazy or busy with other things to get it done yet haha

oh yeah well if ever want pics lemme know man but elite can order u brackets mines used to use the bar that goes onto a bolt on the left head (where a main earth wire goes) to a L bracket and bam done haha

its all different now with the blower only use the L bracket on the right head

Well after a week of driving to and from work I unscrewed the bottom of the can to take a look. There was good coverage of oil in the bottom and dripping off the screen filter part at the top. There was enough oil in the can to pool when tilted.

So I've just stopped all that oil going back into the intake and fouling fuel octane rating and causing other engine issues. I will measure the amount at next intermediate service.

I change mine once a week as I don't wanna get any sucked back into the intake haha but even after a week theres a good amount of it as you said

Sounds like it'll be a good investment and be next on my list. Got 6 months to get it all together afterall.

Thanks for all the input, should get a sticky thread for catch cans.

Here is a picture of the crap the can picks up. This is after a few hundred k's. The return line back to the intake is completely dry, no oil residue getting into the intake anymore.
