Alloytec pcv

Will be interested in how this goes, I'm thinking of doing this myself, have cleaned mine out a couple times and always comes back, worse over summer than winter interestingly. I do wonder if it would be possible to link the 2 hoses together into one catch can and block one of the intake breathers.

You can buy catch cans with more ports but they cost a lot more and with 2 different size hoses from each side I found it easier to use 2 cans mounted on a bit of 3mmx60mmx100mm alloy plate bolted onto studs on strut tower

Nice install - and yes using two catch cans will keep the original gas flows.

Make sure the inlet hose inside the catch-can on the breather side (passenger) does not sit in the captured oil. Otherwise the gunk oil can be sucked back into the engine.

They look like they belong there as the colour of the cans suits the car colour.

Looks great. Did you observe any improvement to power or fuel economy?

Where did you get those cans?

View attachment 194984 View attachment 194976 View attachment 194975 Here's some pics of passengers side with original pipe sitting on top of new hoses. Sorry about quality.

The brown line that goes into the intake pipe is not a PCV line it runs of the purge valve.

Yeah sorry I didn't name that hose on the passenger side in that post, but I did say in a previous post showing the routing for the 1st catch can that the pcv was on the drivers side, so I didn't think there would be any confusion.

Actually I was wrong that line is not from the purge valve.

Sorry. Know this is an old thread, but am wanting to the same. Just looking at the diagram that rcsv6 posted, could you plumb straight from the catch can to the plenum, or do you have to go through the factory pipes?
