Anyone have any info on what size fittings etc are needed to connect this to the factory Pcv system ? I see Tony has 2 cans.. Are there 2 Pcv valves or are you just adding 2 cans in line ?

I think I used AN4 fittings and AN4 SS braided lines. I'll double check.

I have two PVC valves at the entry point of my canisters. I believe the size is of the vacuum port of my cans are 3/8" inner dia.

IH port side on the can is 3/4" to accommodate the PVC then reduced to 3/8" which then connects to the IH port tube.

Left can is connected to Left side IH. Right side can connected to right IH port tube.

Vacuum source is shared via T connector.

Below is a diagram for a single can I built for a couple of Z buddies.


Below is a can I built for a L98 which is to be mounted under the passengers headlight.


Yes........... this are used propane tanks.


Single Canister mounted onto my buddies Z. This is the drivers side.

AN4 = 1/4" so my guess would be either AN8 or AN10,Yun.

No problem at all In the meantime .. any suggestions on a good can off ebay or any vendor? Ive never looked at the pcv system is it under the back of the plenum and only accessible when off? Planning to pull the plenum soon and am wondering if that's when I should set it up.

What are your guys thoughts on a pcv + catch cans + Piping from catch can to the header collectors (scavenging? forget the term for it).

EGR connection? It's an interesting thought. As long as you maintain vacuum crank case fume should get burned off. Is that the idea?
