oil catch can?, how to Options

[st18]

okay got an oil catch can and i dont know where to hook it up. right now it is hooked up between the PCV and the intake manifold. but there is that other line that goes from the valve cover to the intake manifold right beside it and i dont know if it should be there? and yes i have already searched the fourms lol and no answers. thanks.

hmm i think there is a thread on that Ill look for it, but it wasn't fully answered. It was for ronan's 3sge beams.

Why would you want a catch can on a 7afe engine. Oil catch cans are mainly meant for turbo engine's or if you are doing a 3SGE or 3SGTE engine swap and want to keep your engine running really clean. But an economic 7afe is not worth putting an oil catch can.

The way i see it, it cant hurt. Im planning on getting one soon too just to see if i notice a different. I guess if your worried about the other line you could T them together to run into the oil catch can
for example

well i got it hooked up and i beg to differ i emtied it the other day and there was an inch and a half of gas enriched oil and carbon. so it is a good thing i put it on so i think it should be used in n/a cars as well as turbo cars if not to keep the intake manifold clean of all that nasty stuff. and i tear my manifold down every 2 months to gas dip it to clean it and this well really help it stay clean and u get good performance and longevity out of clean motor parts. so yea i think its worth it. oh by the way put it in line of the PCV system if any one needs to know.
