I'm currently building a system for an LS1 (more clean than OE routing).
Leading evidence: 'Clean than oe routing)' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Clean than oe routing)' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I mention this only because if you're intersted enough to Google catch cans, you're likely to run into that pervasive "mod."
Tighten emmisions in the 60's the feds required the oil

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

HAHA...another entrepreneurial spirit at work. I though about this at one time for my other cars to minimize the need to periodically cleaning out the TB.

It looks like a simple air compressor inline filter being utilized in a different fashion.

I wonder how it works as well.
I know there is a minimum amount of oil getting into the intake manifold, but is there really a need for a catch can ?
Phil
This oil in my catch can is about 130 miles of driving, maybe 20% of it is high RPM.
1 important thing to remember on catch can is you have to empty them often. Ive seen a 993 catch fire because of that.
There's nothing complicated about how it works - it just goes inline, allowing vaporized oil from crank case gas to be captured prior to getting sucked into the manifold.
If you're so inclined, you can make one of your own out of just about anything that doesn't catch fire and doesn't react to oil... just ensure it seals well, and like Mike said, empty it on occasion.
By the way, loads of people have used a little compressor drier you can buy at Home Depot as a catch can. It looks really really cool, but the acrylic apparently reacts to the oil and eventually breaks. I mention this only because if you're intersted enough to Google catch cans, you're likely to run into that pervasive "mod."
Its from JLT Performance, a big Shelby performance tuner. Im not affiliated. They just happen to be here near me.

Yup I was looking for a small can since we dont have much room in our engine bays.
I'm not a fan of catch cans for they add complexity to a street engine that does not have a corresponding additional benefit.
But your post, your pics, do tend to reinforce my belief that in some cases "high oil consumption" is not a engine problem per se but related to the amount of oil the AOS fails to remove from the crankcase vapor that is routed to the intake manifold.
In the old days the oil was simply dropped onto the road beneath the engine. With tightening emmisions in the 60's the Feds required the oil to be sucked back into the engine/intake. Catch cans have been around for a long time as a way to get around this.
Mike can you take picture of where exactly this thing is connected to and how it is done
are the mustang connector the same as the porsche one ? or you had to custom fit it in there ?
I think it is an interesting mod for the track people
Phil,
sorry I just saw this now. Its been a looooooooooong time obviously since I logged in here. To answer your question... NO, the shelby connectors are different and woundt fit the porsche hoses. Most of the parts on mine are just Home Depot as you can see in the first picture above. the hoses are the high temp hoses.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
