Default Ap1 catch can install ?

Is capping the pcv valve and using just the front breather port to a vented catch sufficient enough?

Trying to avoid the trial and error method Before next hpd.

That is what I do. I barely get any oil in the catch.

I wish mine was that easy.

Just pulled the valve cover off mine to do the holes in the baffle.

I had a Moroso can on the PCV vent (recirculated to the manifold), and was able to fill it in a few laps at Sebring and Roebling. This was with the front vent still attached to the intake.

I currently have a dual catch can setup, with the front vented, and the PCV recirculated. Was still filling the PCV catch can pretty quick, and getting a bit of oil in the front can.


I did a session where I backed off and ran slower with a passenger, and didn't get much oil in the PCV catch can, so a lot of it is as you get faster, you get more oil in the baffle that gets sucked into the catch cans. I'm drilling holes in the baffle tonight with hopes that fixes the issue.

Cap your PCV, see how easy that was?

Nick1 did that, and vented the front port, and he still fills his catch can in a few hot laps at Sebring. I'd rather just fix it than keep chasing trying to vent this and that.

Drilling the holes? Or capping ports?

The last few times I've been at Sebring I've gotten quick enough its become a pretty serious problem, I just want to be slow again
