If you have a Corvette Z06 or Camaro ZL1 with the LT4 and you are installing a
catch can you're probably thinking of cutting this
line that goes to the booster right here, well I can say don't do it
because you know what?? I think there's a better way to get around this
so today's video is about a solution that I found so you don't have to
cut this line now we're not going to talk about what kind of catch can you're
going to install or what's best or whatever
this video is not about that, I installed this cash can i'll throw the link up so
anyone can see how i did this catch can and how i
routed everything but irregardless of what catch can you buy or how you route
it you don't have to cut here if you use some things that I found
so let me explain so here we have the line coming off the throttle body
this here if you follow it all the way back just goes to the booster
at least on the Z06 on the Camaro it's a little bit different but essentially you
have to cut right here so all you're going to do is you can see
this is on you're going to squeeze you're going to pull it off
okay then you're going to take this piece here you're going to stick it on
just like so now we can put our booster piece back on just like so so now this
is like this then what we have is one of these pieces
and we're going to connect this to our hose and just quick connect it in
so next step is we're going to take our second
special piece here and then we're going to take our
3/8" inside diameter hose that we use for running our catch can
don't forget your clamp here for this video i'm going to use a spring style
clamp so i'm just going to take it like this
and we're going to put our clamp on there we go just like so.
Now these here just so you know they're almost if anyone's ever used the
Redhorse performance fittings with the push lock, that's what
these ones are like so i don't even think you need a clamp
for these to be honest i don't think it's gonna leak i'm putting one on
anyway but I really don't think you really
don't think you need one so i'm just twisting it in here just like so
and there you can see we have it twisted in just like so
now what we'll do is we'll just put our clamp we'll just
slide our clamp back like so there we go so now our clamp is just
like so and then what we're gonna do is we're going to go clip it into the
throttle body so here we're back at the engine bay and
I showed you earlier how this piece snapped on so we can
take it off real easy if you want to take it off you just push like this
these clips here come out right like this so it comes off very very easily
if you want to change it back there you go but we want to put this on so we're
going to snap this back on snap this like so there you go you can
see this is here like that now what we're going to do is you can
see we just pushed this connector here into our 3/8" hose so
what we're going to do is we're just going to
route that through here just like so and there you go now all we have to do
is snap it in just like so, there you go and you can
see it is nicely installed now what I'll do
is I'll just do a little pan back here so you can see
so I'm panning back here so you can see there it was the connector
there you go our line going in nice and easy and here you can see
it's just like so and i can just connect it to the catch can
intake, now on mine, this is the catch can intake
that i'm gonna connect it to but your catch can install might be different so
i'm not telling you how to connect it. The purpose of this video was just to
show you how you don't have to cut the line and it's very easy just to tee in
and run another line and you can run this to whatever catch can you have so
if you have an Elite catch can, a Mighty Mouse, a UPR it doesn't matter you can just hook
it up to whatever catch can you want, you can use whatever type of fitting you want
It doesn't matter, really easy but the biggest thing is you
don't have to cut into the booster so that was the biggest thing I wanted
to show everyone and now if I want to unclip it
there just like that i can just unclip it and i can even pull this whole line
out so it's that easy and then i can just
connect this back up so really really easy to undo i really
didn't want to cut into my factory lines and it took
me a long time to figure this out, but this is the best way
So on a personal note, I tried developing this for actually quite some time you
can even see here how I made another connector here it connected to here
and this hose here would have just plugged into
the bottom, but the problem as you can see
it's just too long and it would have pushed into the coolant lines so it's
just not good and you know what i didn't like the way this was i thought
it was kind of ugly and plus the cost would have been too high because I would
have had to do two connectors here plus all the labor for me to push the plastic
together it was just too much so gotta huck that idea but can't blame me
for trying same with this one I tried....
I tried multiple ones so this i'm very proud of this one will work well
and the best thing is you can just run any catch can to
your intake hose right up to there and it just snaps in that easy so it
doesn't matter what catch can you're running it'll work for any of them the
best thing is you don't have to cut your factory
hose and it gives you a nice clean install which is which is just great so
