Actually, the black box is a reservoir for the water injection... I am running an exhaust PCV evacuation setup, so those two tubes are connected to the exhaust

A lot of us run vents on the back of the block (endyn style) and the valvecover.

Tchleung, how did you get your valve cover tapped without messing it up when welding the fittings in. I want to tap my red honda itr cover but I don't see any way to do it without scraping off paint or burning the area around the welds.

I'm still not sold on the fittings posted on page 1, worried they might leak.

OK, can someone explain something to me:

The endyn/moroso can has 2 fiitings: So, one removes the PVC box at the bottom and seals it up, adds 2 ports as mentioned and runs lines to catch can. A breather is added up top So, that pretty makes sense.

How do people run 2 line from front as well as 2 lines from below to the endyn/moroso catch can? Do you tee both lines to form 1?

Yeah I just stripped the valve cover beforehand, then drilled and welded the fittings on then got it recoated. Made sure to coat the welds as well so it looked 100% stock

idealy you run 2 moroso catch cans. 1 can for the 2 fitting on the back of the block and 1 catch for venting the valve cover

The three lines coming off my valve cover are just free venting under the engine. Although next year I plan to route them into my exhaust.

What the largest AN fittings u can use with the Endyn kit. What threads in there anyways?

I guess a better question would be, what size line fit's over the nipples on the back of the block if going with stainless lines.

bodykitsnw........Z10 sells fittings for the back of the block that are push-on hose or Male AN threaded, I got the threaded ones, they use -12an.

How do you know if you need to run one catchcan or two, is it better to run the one off the back of the block or will one off the valve cover be okay? I'm turboed and hoping for around 350 hp when I dyno again. What do you all recommend?

Also, I know obviously if you run a catchcan off the back of the block, you get rid of the stock PCV system. But do you get rid of it if you only run off the valve cover?

In Theory - I wonder if I could run 2 lines from the block and the line from the back of the valve cover (where a breather flter would go) into the catch can? I could get the endyn can and add another 3/8" NPT fitting and call it a day.

I would think that this would be sufficient for 400 whp. I think overall compression (and more boost) would warrant the need for extreme crankcase ventilation.

The braided lines from the valve cover add some serious bling, though!

The threaded fittings that screw into the back of the block - Anyone know the thread pitch is? I wonder if you could just use AN lines and run stainless lines to the endyn can? I am not a fan of the pop machine hoses, personally.

between 300-400whp here...depending on gear......

I needed two catch cans. The one off the back of the block would fill up after a couple hard pulls. I added the second catch can and now the one from the back of the block doesn't fill up as much.

It has to do with the velocity of the air coming out of the catch can lines. More hoses/vents makes the velocity lower in each line so it will have less chance of picking up oil as it exists the motor. Also, some have a problem with when the oil sloshes to the back of the pan, it travels up the oil galleys and out the fittings on the back of the block.

most likely will not vent enough but each motor is differnt so try it!!

Wow - 2 runs and it fills up! Thats a lot of oil! The moroso can is 11.3" x 4" which makes that for a lot of oil.

Thanks for correcting me, Mike. What you say makes a lot of sense. I appreciate it.

What size fitting do I need to thread into the Endyn catchcan. What size thread or AN fitting is needed?
