Our cars don't have a true PCV system apparently, it runs in a vacuum, or at the bare minimum, it is vacuum assisted when at low RPM. At any rate there is definitely an IN and an OUT.

They suck metered (and filtered) air from the intake tube through the crankcase and out the outlet to the intake manifold.

Poorly made diagram attached.

RED: Filtered air into crankcase
GREEN: Air from PCV valve to can
BLUE: Air from catch can to intake manifold (vacuum line)
Nice job! That looks awesome!

Thx brosef!

If you want to do the same setup I can give you a parts list and info on how to fabricate your air/oil separators to go in the cans.

Total parts cost with everything was like $80 with shipping.

Maybe I should do a DIY or something... I didn't take a lot of pictures because I was in a rush and honestly, I didn't try very hard to make the parts I fabbed pretty, just functional.

I'll need to make some diagrams illustrating how to fabricate the internal parts.

You'll need some basic tools like a dremel with cutting wheels, maybe a hack saw and a bench/tech vice of some kind.

Send me the list dude. I'm also looking at a catch can setup that NeverBoneStck did on his G37 with go kart catch cans but good to have plenty of DIY options but yes, you definitely should do a DIY on this cause this is a very nice setup. Much cleaner then most out there.
