What is it
This is a cheap mod that will keep oil from getting blown out of your crankcase into your intake.

Options
1. Use one large husky air filter.
2. Use two smaller husky air filters.
3. Use a real catch can from ebay etc.

I used the larger husky filter, heres how I did it:

Parts List
1. Husky General Purpose air filter(3/8 In. Standard Filter Poly Bowl Model HDA70600AV) - Home depot, in tools section, air compressor parts.
2. 2 ID Barb to MIP Adaptor 3/8" x 3/8" - plumbing section, tubing area.
3. 10 pack of Clamps 1/4" to 5/8" - plumbing, tubing.
4. PTFE Thread seal tape(to seal 2 air filter fittings) - plumbing, tubing.
5. EDIT: 3-4 ft. High temp power steering hose - from auto parts store
6. 3/8 fitting for 90 degree turn - Ace Hardware, they have a great selection

Install instructions
1. I removed the wire that connects the pcv valve to the block(its not a ground, its a mounting device).
2. Remove short tube that attatches to intake.
3. Add short piece(1.5 inches or so) to end of pcv line in order to connect 90degree fitting. I used two brass fittings to create a 90degree bend otherwise hose would collapse.
4. Hook hose from 90degree fitting to correct inlet of husky air filter.
5. Hook hose from husky air filter to intake.
6. Used clamps to hook hose to fittings.
7. Zip tied filter to AC accumulator(?)

I did a search on this a while back and found some info, you may have some luck searching too. This is a good mod.

I went with two Husky in line, working fine, the add of the fuel filter is a plus...
The amount of oil in the first Husky is after less than 300 miles of hard driving...
Cheap good mod, it helps about KR.

Looks great! What is the part number for that inline filter? I checked my intake last night and there is oil in it... Did you get it at home depot?

i just bought the air/oil filter unit and all the parts EXCEPT the tubing. some people on here have said similar things about tubing problems (melting/collapsing). what exact kind of tubing do i need to get and where can i get it?

you can see inside the container so i really see no sense in staring at the hose to see if it works. we all know it works. i just used regular 3/8 hose, actually i used fuel line hose. trust me you wont stare at your hoses

I just wanted to be able to see that the line after the catch can was not getting oil in it. I wish I had got a clear lid too just so I can see any debris etc. Not a big deal, I guess ill get some rubber hose.

the first time i did it with the clear hose i was all cool. but then i heard a sound, hose was collapsed. just drove around the block. youll be ok.

i tried some heater hose and it was too soft, didnt collapse all the way but was definitely 60-65% closed at idle. switched it out for some heavier duty trans fluid cooler hose and that **** works, i cant even pinch it closed, the heater hose i could easily pinch off and the idle would change.

you can propbably get the ebay catch can cheaper than making your own, and its actually a catch can

By going the Home Depot route you'll have invested $30 max if you only go with one seperator

It is the 1/4 inch husky model. I got the same on on my Z06 it works well and cost about 12 dollars.

catch can

You can get them in different colors and they are not car specific, they are universal. The ad says its for a specific car but thats just to show up in popular searches.

Do the fittings go all the way into the husky unit? For me they go half way in then get very difficult to tighten.

Why is the pcv valve grounded?

Just a note about some difference between the type of catch can you find also on ebay and the Husky mod:

-The first one is only a container or a seal can with one "entry way-in" and one "exit way-out" (very nice though)
-The Husky is a SEPARATOR and is technically build as this, don't exchange the in and out of the vapor path, it is optimised in only one way.

You can easily identify the air path and a true vapor separation build with filtering material in the Husky.

If I have to decide for another type than the "Home Depot Mod" in term of catch can, I will choose a high quality catch can build for the purpose that it is suppose to for my car and will obtain similar results than today with a more technical look (wich is important) for a different price.

Some really nice piece of work are on the market, some compagny are manufacturing those catch can since a while with success, some others are enterering the market, just a different price from the cheap (but efficient)Husky mod....

I bought the 1/4 inch version and installed it today. Very sturdy piece and works great.

Here are pics of my setup.





Thanks guys for posting your setups

I did the same as the pic above but I didn't use any clamps. After driving my car hard for a while, there is ZERO oil in it. Guess I'm back to square one.
