Home depot has brass ones http://m.homedepot.com/p/SharkBite-1...LFA/202270567/

These are also ok to install?

I didn't see it in the thread, but where can I get the actual lines that go to the PCV valves (is that the right term, valves)? Just bought a used catch can with no tubing.

I don't really catch anything in mine

For future reference, I got all the hoses and even the step/reducer for 3/8" to 1/2" from O'Reilly's Auto Parts. The reducer I had to ask for, since they kept them behind the counter.

If you try to run 1/2", it will be too loose on the PCV Valve for even clamps to fix and you'll throw a P0171 lean code. Learned that

This might be a dumb question. I've seen on some installs where they only vent the manifold and block the return. Essentially they vent into the atmosphere. I have a turbo installed and it doesn't have the return on the intake side so i would need to use a catch can and vent into the atmosphere. Why can't you vent both locations into one catch can using a y flange and vent both into the atmosphere, blocking the return on the manifold? Someone help me with this thinking. Can you even do this or will it cause issues?

I think I am going to pick up the Radium Dual Oil Catch Can Kit to go with my Jackson Racing C38 kit...

Has anybody considered just buying one radium catch can to save money a couple hundred?

Buy one radium catch can set, 2 Barb Tees, some tubing and connect both crank case + PCV, then rewire them back to both holes ... or plug up one of them?

I don't know much about the mechanical parts about cars or really modding .. but is there certain air pressures that these two outlets are at that makes this a bad idea? I'm pretty sure doing this is bound to save ~$150.

I guess the wiring might be a bit odd/clustered in the engine bay?

edit: NVM, apparently they're different pressures

Been a while... but I finally did what I wanted to do for a mount ever since I got the Radium catch can. Don't have it installed in car yet, but here's the difference between old and new:

Circa 2013:


Now:




I fabbed the pieces for the brace bracket and my brother welded it. Painted, clear coated, and waxed both L and R factory braces so they would match. I'll get pictures once it's installed...am using black racing hose to go OEM look this time.

And here's the installed pictures:
