Oil catch can?

Elite Engineering · November 17, 2015

Elite - I just bought your gen 1 through APEX for my 15' 6.2 two weeks ago.

If you recently bought a Catch Can from Apex, it's not ours, it's a copy, but it's now our Catch Can.

I meant JDP motorsports, They are a vendor on Camaro5, Sorry for the brain fart. Have the invoice. Not a copy.

GDI Tech · November 17, 2015

Yes, APEX did copy the E2 pretty much exactly.

And understand, most vendors are not educated techs, they are there to sell product. Any model of Elite you purchase will be heads above most any other brand. Elite is one of the few that offers varying models at different price levels. If in doubt, ask here and I can guide you as well.

NO- I have your can through JDP motorsports... P/N CC-300B-LS3 was drop shipped from you/elite... all the invoice/box/packaging is marked "Elite engineering". It's a beautiful product. Just not that great if it's not effective on a DI engine where I was lead to belive by your posts it was more than sufficient for that application. Not starting a war, just feel that all the relevant information was not properly disclosed. You must have known all this in recent post with no mention, not all the way forthcomming, people are trusting your opinion on here. Again, no argument. that is how it appears to me and at least one other person. Build on the conversation from there. Just feel a little burnt, that's all. I'll try to keep it PM from here forward if the convo continues at all.

Gotcha, thanks, yes that's our standard Catch Can. It's the same catch can that we recommend everyday.

Hi kenner, it is still effective as Elite states, and it is helping to reduce the coking rate. It is priced less than the most effective can due to the reasons I mentioned earlier, but you in no way wasted your $. I do agree the dealers should be more informed as well. So this thread should clear up much of the confusion.

I got mine installed a couple days ago and noticed that the lines to and from the can aren't necessarily collapsing but they did get narrower. Im guessing due to the heat. Anyone else notice this and should it be cause for concern. Thanks.

Its because of the vacuum. A little bit of flexing is gonna happen. You can upgrade to higher pressure resistant hoses if you want.

The hose that came with it says emission on it so I guess its good enough. What would be a higher resistant type hose.

I noticed the little but of collapse myself, assumed vacuum. No where near enough for me to worry about though.

brwk · November 19, 2015

What would be the heaviest walled hose you can buy? I want to get rid of some vacuum hissing noise I hear. I have an RX can.

GDI Tech · November 19, 2015

Transmission cooler line will be a heavier wall. Emissions should be fine and not collapse as it is designed to support vacuum. Fuel line is too soft.

Make sure the checkvalves are flowing the correct direction. Away from the can.

Can you hear it hood shut? I could hear it if I stuck my head in the bay. With hood shut and normal idling I haven't noticed it at all.

My RX can came with "FUEL VAPOR [PCV/EEC] 3/8 INCH (9.5mm) SAE 30R7" hose

Whatever that means. But it doesn't oval and I don't hear any hissing
