Default Can models that dont vent to atmosphere?

Do you have any catch can models that do not vent to atmosphere? I am basically trying to keep with the spirit of emissions compliance as best as possible while still having the increased benefits of such a system. Thanks!

of course. some situations and or customers have this need so i have provided it. run the end of the hose to anywhere you like, for example mount to your factory airbox, air filter, or cold air tubing

this still can support up to 1200hp fitting depending.

Awesome, and thanks! One last question. Do you happen to have any information as to how the stock Z06 engine is affected by coking? I have found some information on it being bad on direct injection engines (especially ones with boost) but cant find reliable information as to whether stock C7 Z06's would have the same issue. If it is an issue, would your catch can help reduce coking?

Again, thanks for offering such a great product and taking the time to answer questions.

port fuel injected intake valves spend their whole lives getting rinsed with fuel. since the fuel is sprayed inside the lt4 combustion chamber, you will get build up. how much and how that affects you in your personal enjoyment of the vehicle / performance level is a tricky one to answer.

my advice is to pull off the lid and see if what you find bothers you.
-contrary to some here that find it no big deal to mop up the supercharger and call it good, remember you are only seeing the tip of the iceberg so to speak.

this video here has the lid removal in the first section

no, crankcase pressure can be damaging.

as a wise consumer i suggest you make sure it is minimized for your application, to whatever end or product that takes you to.

i merely provided direct example of how a suction line does not always mean you are in crankcase vacuum

Will this installation void my warranty?

Your PVC adapter that replaces the factory PVC is the way to properly engineer a catch can set up for the LT4. Great job MM.

GM can void your warranty for any reason they can come up with.

My advice if you are about to save a ton of money by having warranty work done, either take it to a place you trust to not screw you or de-mod, and keep the ball in your court.

Thanks for the support!

If any of you guys have a brand name can I have not run I would be happy to bench test it (the flow test above as well as oil consumption efficincy and maximum capacity) add the data to my public library, and pay return shipping

What size fittings should be used to most easily install on an otherwise stock Z06?

My mild kit as seen in the above video uses the draft can with 6an inlet and 6an, 3/8" hose

Yep save your valves from the build-up and your blower will thank you as well! A must do mod!
