Oil catch can question

[youngbrazee1]

I recently bought the Curcuit Sports mini catch can and im having problems figuring how to install it. Ive read that you put a hose on the "T" and on the intake. The problem is that i have a 3" intake with no nipple. So my question is, can i have 1 hose going to the "T" and breather on the other end of the "T" and the 2nd hose going to the crank case breather?

As long as you use a vacuum source for the catch can otherwise its pointless to have. heres how it should be installed vacuum source (intake)>catch can>front of T valve>then a hose from rear of T to the crankcase vent.

Or you could have an actual baffled oil/air separator and then have it drain back into the pan...


The whole point of the catch can or oil separator is to knock oil vapor out of suspension, not having a baffled can doesnt do much good, and sucking oil back through the intake/turbo/and pushing it back into your motor isnt the greatest idea...

Why not lookin the tech section, there is a thread on it that is 6 pages long....

Here is how I did mine. Like posted earlier. Crank Case Vent > T Fitting > T fitting > catch can > catch can > intake pipe

The only problem I am running in to is my hose is melting from the crank case vent to the T fitting because it's running close to the manifold and gets hot.
