I like the way you said "maybe 400 horsepower, nothing really crazy", I think that's a lot Mike! Remember back in the day, my favourite car was the '79 Trans Am 6.6. It had maybe 230 hp!!
@@sarblade Oh trust me I know… my last build WAS a 79 T/A with a 6.6 and I had to bore the block .030 over, mill the heads .050 use a thin cometic head gasket, did a cam, headers and I just barely squeezed 350hp out of it! But in the way of LS engines, they can make some crazy power for not a lot. Which makes mine pretty tame in comparison
Cool video. Enjoyed watching this. Had no idea the amount of fumes released at idle! About the vent to atmosphere catch can, doesn't venting the catch can in the fenders tucked in a place the ac vents cant access (which i assume is in a position that is lower elevated than the catch can itself) cause condensation build up in the downward bent line and that condensation will drip in the catch can first? If youve seen it successfully done on youtube somewhere please share
My cowl vents are deleted but even so, its not really an issue, even when plumbed normally the LS produces quiet a bit of condensation until it reaches operating temperatures. Its not uncommon for a little condensation to accumulate in the catch can
First thing i would say is that if your engine has so much crank pressure venting out of a vented catch can that it bothers you in the cab then you have a much larger problem than smelling it. I run a vented catch can under the hood of my 2014 camero ss with over 600 hp and i've never smelled anything in the cabin from the catch can.
Some people say that sealed is good for under boost, to help with crancase pressure since its constant or the turbo helps, and if you dont have a can between preturbo and pcv port oil will get suck into the turbo during boost, like the turbo will pull oil out or something. So im confused which to choose, vented or seal.
Is it different when working with an open system (has no valve). 2 ports on the valve cover connects to preturbo and throttle body (all together, the ports aren't seperated or the turbo and throttle body) 7mgte
Fantastic question dude! Fortunately the intake is still sucking the same 20 something pounds of vacuum regardless of if it’s scavenging PCV from the can or not, so it shouldn’t have any effect at all on the power brakes. Really good question!
I have always ran the line into the intake tube or airbox. Maybe if you notice any deference in your brake pedal a restrictor on that line may help. Had a mg in my shop and the sealed catch can was on intake vacuum and it was pulling the single lip cam seal in and making a weird noise.
Atmospheric vented crankcase for passenger vehicles was made illegal in 1963. IF you are subject to emissions inspection and this is found you may be subject to fines. BE CAREFUL.

It dies look really good the way you ran it. Real clean look.
@@GrandPitoVic thank you bud. Knowing me, I’ll probably change it back n forth 100 more times lol
@@intheshoptv ROFLMFAO!!!!! Yea were too much alike in that aspect
I LIKE IT!!!
REMOVE THE STEAM & KEEP IT CLEAN
I’m installing a catch can for a 2002 5.3 going into a 1987 El Camino for my brother’s car.
Oh yeah? Hey thats a cool build! Always had a soft spot for that era of elcos, but was never a fan of the old TBI engines. Now he’s solved that!

@@intheshoptv Totally! Those 400's were pretty thin to work with. Too bad you weren't on TH-cam with the T/A build!
Great information thank you.
Thank YOU for watching!
I am definitely running a sealed unit on my Vic. I've heard about the fumes (smell) coming into the cabin.
Yeah I STILL cant decide, but I love how this is reversible in like a minute flat
@@intheshoptv true lol

I dont know, I kind of like the choo-choo effect on that old truck!

@@toxicwolfgaming2972 With the excesses crankcase pressure created by boost, IMO - vented just makes the most sense.
@intheshoptv right, it has a road draft tube so the engine regulates the pressure so I think it swaps the flow to either intake and turbo
Can using the same vacuum port on the intake have a negative effect on your brake booster?
