Default Elite Engineering C7 PCV Catch Cans | BEST Pricing & FREE Shipping | JDP Motorsports

Hey Everyone!

JDP Motorsports is a huge supporter of utilizing a PCV Oil Catch Can on any late-model performance vehicle. We're offering the Elite Engineering PCV Oil Catch Cans as we feel they are the highest quality piece offered on the market. We install these on 99% of the cars we work on here at JDP, they work that well!!

Purpose of your Stock PCV System:

The PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system is designed to regulate and remove fumes from the engine crankcase, and to alleviate crankcase pressure which could cause oil leaks or seal damage. The PCV system routes crankcase fumes into the intake manifold where they can be burned to eliminate harmful emissions into the atmosphere. The PCV valve controls the amount of crankcase flow volume depending on the engine's load. With large throttle openings (high engine loads), the more blow-by gases are produced, and the more the PCV system flows oil vapor into the intake manifold. The PCV valve also functions as a check valve to prevent intake manifold flow from reversing back into the crankcase when there is a backfire, or during periods of high manifold pressure (boost) during forced induction by turbocharger or supercharger.

Negative Effects of your Stock PCV System:

Many Corvette owners with LSx and LTx engines can testify to the amount of oil residue that can accumulate inside the intake manifold, throttle body, intake track, valves and even the air filter during aggressive driving conditions. There are various negative effects when excess oil vapor contaminates the intake system from the stock PCV system - such as:

  • Throttle body and/or MAFS (Mass Air Flow Sensor) malfunction or failure.
  • Air filter, intercooler (if equipped) and intake ducting contamination if oil pools and run back out the intake system after engine shutdown.
  • Reduced octane of the air/fuel mixture, which can cause detonation and the ECM (Engine Control Module) to retard timing, thereby reducing engine power.
  • Excessive carbon build-up on valves, piston crowns, combustion chambers and spark plugs. This also increases the chance of detonation and power loss.
  • Increased emissions & possible contamination of catalytic converters and oxygen sensors.
Bottom line: Excessive amounts of oil vapor in the intake manifold is detrimental to your engine!

Solution: Install the Elite Engineering PCV Oil Catch Can!

Ultimate Function:

The E2 Elite Engineering PCV Oil Catch Can is designed to effectively separate oil from the crankcase vapors, thereby eliminating all negative effects of excessive intake system oil contamination. The E2 Catch Can has been engineered to remove the oil vapor before it has a chance to contaminate your intake system.

Not all Catch Cans are created equally! Often Imitated, never duplicated. Most Catch Cans on the market are just comprised of an empty container with 2 ports. While that simple design may trap a few oil droplets, our Catch Can is designed to condense the oil vapor and trap the oil inside the container.

E2's tested proven design incorporates a stainless steel mesh and screening mechanism that acts like a maze to collect and condense the oil vapor. Once the oil vapors condense into liquid droplets, it falls to the bottom of the can. In addition, the top assembly is specially designed to keep any liquid from climbing out the exit hole during aggressive driving conditions. Stored oil volume is approximately 8 ounces. You will be amazed by how much oil our Catch Can will catch! Don't settle for an inferior competitor's product. Insist on Elite Engineering's Catch Can!

Internal design:


Premium Construction:

The Elite Engineering PCV Oil Catch Can is constructed of the finest materials inside and out. High performance car owners insist on the best products that offer unsurpassed function as well as impressive visual enhancement. The E2 Catch Can does both! Our exclusive design incorporates optimum function and the finest materials, construction and finish for maximum dependability.

The 2.6" diameter by 6.0" long body is machined from billet 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, and then anodized in a variety of colors for a striking look. The internal condensing screen is stainless steel encased inside an aluminum alloy housing designed for low flow restriction. The housing can be disassembled for screen inspection, cleaning or replacement if needed. The inlet and outlet hose fittings are brass, and threaded into the body and sealed with Teflon tape. Supplied hoses are fuel and oil vapor compatible (SAE 30R7 rated). The bottom catch can reservoir screws onto the top of the unit, and is sealed with a built in O-ring. Inspection and cleaning is easy by simply removing the bottom of the unit without disturbing the mounting system or hoses. In keeping with E2's high quality standards, all supplied mounting hardware and screws are stainless steel, and the supplied custom machined bracket is aluminum. Take a look at Elite's instructions page below to see how simple the installation is.

I see you have these (optional Stainless Steel) and Black Nylon Braided Line Kits. How much more if I go this route? Do you have any pics of these lines?

The Stainless or nylon hose with black AN fittings add $59.95 to the cost.


Or you also have the option to get the AN fittings with rubber hose finishers for $26.

I tried calling you but the person on the phone could not answer my questions.

I drive a 1LT Z51 M7.

If I get the gen 2 should I get 1 or 2 exit ports?

What are check valves? If they are needed should I get 1 or 2?

Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Price and setup look good.
Is the 2016 Z51 system the same as 2015?
(did not receive my car yet)

I apologize for the delayed response. We've been going crazy between NASA Nationals and the Optima Ultimate Street Car event in Pikes Peak.

The best solution for the C7 Z51 Package is the E2 catch-can with dual exit ports, dual check valves and the clean side separator. This is the optimal set up for the Z51 package and it will give you the best results.

The Catch-can is HERE and the Oil Separator is HERE.

Please feel free to call, email or PM me anytime with questions.

With just an NA Z51, the dual port and dual check valve system provides a marked improvement over the single exit non check valve variant?

I want a can setup with clean side separator but I'm curious as to why the description says it's not needed on NA engines but you say it's the best setup.

I don't doubt it's the best I just didn't know if the increase in price was worth what the difference is.

I'm going to get something I'm just trying to narrow this down.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Any instructions for adding the E2 to a 2015 Z06?
I cleaned under the blower top. Then plugged the "hole"
Then mounted the E2 in a good spot. Just needed a 1 1/2 spacer
under the bracket.

Just want to be sure on the hose routing
before I finish up!
