How to install a Mighty Mouse with magnuson 2650 with speed engineering valve covers
Is there anyone in here that can tell me and or have pictures of how they routed your lines on your Mighty Mouse catch can? And show me how you hooked them up and where you hooked them. I called CSP racing because that’s where I bought the speed engineering valve covers. They Would not give me any information. I will not be buying from CSP racing ever again!! But if there is anyone in her that can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance !! My car is a 2015 C7 Z06
I take this feedback serious and I must say you aren't understanding exactly what we are saying - which is we do not have a set of instructions for you (or us). This is what we told you:
"These can be routed many different ways which is why the guys at the shop can't give installation assistance over the phone - I would follow the routing instructions for your catch can but you may need additional fittings/adapters to make it all work together with your set up!"
"We build these for every vehicle differently at the shop and have hundreds of fittings we keep on hand do build them since every kit can be different (even Mighty Mouse has different options for their cans). Every set up and be differently. "
If you are not able to figure this out, we would be happy to help you out in person. Obviously TX is a long jump from us, so I'd recommend a specialist down there.
I built a 19 z06 for someone with a 2650, mms catch can and those valve covers. I looked to see if I had pics but I don’t. However, the plumbing for the catch can didn’t change. The valve covers just don’t have the push in dry sump line. That gets capped at the dry sump y portion. I ordered a 90 degree -10an to 5/8 push lock from amazon for the driver side because it attaches to a mms catch can. no one else made this fitting from what I could tell. For the passenger side I ordered a 45 degree -10an to 3/8 push lock made by mishimoto and got it from summit racing. From speaking to everyone this seemed to be the best path.
I have done 3 Z06s with the 2650, MM catch can and SE valve covers. The valve covers don't have much of a baffle and causes the car to smoke on startup. I will be looking at changing the routing or the amount of air the CC line pulls into the blower. I have another car with the same setup being built right now so we will do some testing on it to see if we can cut down on the smoking. If anyone has a routing that eliminates the smoking I would be interested in the way you did it.

I have same set up and notice a little smoke at start up. This only happens when the car has been sitting for a week or so. My shop ran into same issues with SE valve covers and pcv system.

The Speed Engineering valve covers are significantly worse than stock in terms of PCV baffling. We had a couple of guys on the Camaro6 forum that had their catch cans fill up with oil almost immediately. The issue was ultimately solved with a restrictor in the line feeding the catch can, but I’d avoid those valve covers IMO.

My engine bay is a bit different obviously but hope this helps. Oil filler cap adapter is the big hose, believe it’s -10 in my case for 1K+ HP, and the small one routes under the blower snout and connects to the lower of the 2 small evap hose connections right behind the throttle body on the drivers side.

Me and a friend has the same issue. His shop, which I've just taken my car to, seems to have solved the issue. I'm not savvy enough to explain what they told to me, but he mentioned something about double venting and needing it on both sides. I will write back with how it was done when my car receives the fix.
What size hose are you using from VC to CC? I realized I’m using a 5\8 diameter which may be compounding the problem. The clean side is 3/8 hose diameter.
Thanks for all of the responses guys!! Are any of you guys using Mightymouse’s XL catch can that will allow you to vent through the filter and has two line that go into the catch can ( hope I explaining/saying that correctly). I will try to upload a picture.
Andrew Zurick Owner of CSP racing is there any way I can return the speed engineering valve covers that I bought from you?

The shop I went to vented both sides of the valve covers. You can see it wraps all the way around on my setup.
Added pictures of the setup and the catch can used.

thanks! So essentially your venting both valve covers to the can into atmospher? No clean side routed to vacuum intake?
I ran vent lines straight off the factory covers to the intake along with a catch can. Not sure why people would even run the cheap aftermarket covers unless they are worried about the looks. There is no baffling. Regular MM catch can too. Built motor, 1k+whp and zero oil in the blower. A small amount collects at the base of the air intake over time. That’s it. Never smell, see smoke or add oil. During routine maintenance I simply wipe out the couple drops of oil.

Because you have to modify the stock covers so some of us opt to get aftermarket ones that also look nice.

All I’m saying buy nicer ones with baffles. Cars and coffee is that important that you’re willing to smoke on start up after winning the cleanest New Balances award? If you want to run the factory covers all you have to do is grab some channel locks and pull the factory flared barbs off. Next is screwing in your choice of NPT male to barb end fittings. Pretty simple.
I know some people are a little green but you do know oil ingestion lowers octane and can cause knock right? So you’re going to spend $65-90k on a C7Z, put thousands into it, but can’t fork over a couple hundred more dollars for functional valve covers that look good also?
