has anyone taken pics of these installs?
you know, to show us non mechanic type guys exactly what we need to do?

i just went back 18pgs looking for catch can install pics, but didnt see any that showed exactly where the lines run. saw the mounting points, but not much else.

any help is greatly appreciated.

again.... im all thumbs here, but think i can get thru this...

Once you pop off the engine cover you'll easily see where the stock lines are running...you're just replacing those with the lines in your kit. It's super easy...no need to worry about the install at all.

My Moroso air/oil separator comes with step by step color picture instructions... I believe they're on the Moroso website.
There are Youtube videos outlining the install as well.

problem is i have a vararam installed already, so there is a line that has changed already. now has the small breather filter (or whatever its called) on driver side already. dont know if that would change or not.
which is why i wanted to see specifically what i was dealing with.

thank you for the pic.
i was hoping someone took step by step pics of install. as easy as it sounds, i cant quite picture what exactly im dealing with.

That tube you are referring to on the drivers side has nothing to do with your catch can. Forget about it. What you will need to do is first is, remove the factory tube, leaving the curved piece that is attached to the TB. The hard tube going back toward the firewall that attaches to the PCV valve will need to be removed and discarded. Second, find the empty thread hole on the front of the motor (passenger side). That is where you will mount the z-bracket with the supplied bolt. Third, run your hose from the PCV to the catch can like you see in the pic above, then take your other piece of hose and run it to the TB. In the package you will find a brass fitting, push it in to the curved tube that you left attached to the TB. Then run the short hoses from the catch can to the brass fitting. Your done.

Another 1 of our members (Yo ****) just posted some install pics of his Vararam and the catch can. Give me a second, and I will post the link for you.

Check out the top 2 pictures on this link...

They clearly show where the hoses go, and the catch can bracket mounts to the front of the engine block on the only pre drilled and tapped hole on the passenger side. It is a very simple install.

As for the TB, I took some install pics of a TB I did a few weeks ago. I will try to get those posted up tomorrow. If this is something you are trying to install tonight, feel free to shoot me a PM, and I will walk you through the install.

I stand corrected on the two holes on the front of the engine. Thanks for getting it straight Matt. I had to go outside and look. My bad for the miss-info.

It's a piece of cake, easiest thing you will ever do. Only thing I did different was shorten up the hoses a bit, I thought they were too long.

Does the engine cover fit back on, or does it need to remain off once the air filter and catch can is replaced?
