First off, the setup is a fully built Z6 minus sleeves. The car made 272/220 on 10psi.

Now I dont know a ton about catch cans and putting extra lines in the valve cover, so,

1) What are the benefits of crankcase ventilation?
2) Why do most people have catch cans in higher horsepower setups, and in even higher horsepower setups, people have extra lines drilled into the valve cover?

Hey buddy. you should ask Corey...lol...

A catch can is needed in almost any forced induction system, b/c the stock pcv system is inadequate due to the positive pressure. The -an lines out of the valve cover help to relieve extra pressure that builds up from high whp setups, aka more boost.

There are several writeups on here, search pcv setup/ca/etc...and you will have enough reading for 3 days.

 

Haha, yeah, I completely didnt even think about the search function. Nice call.

Searching and reading...

 

I also have a turbo d, (made 293 on 10 pounds) and did the whole catch can setup like everyone else thinking that i needed it.

Around 2 weeks week have past and I havent had a drop of oil in the can yet.
