Z1's 370Z Catch Can Kit filters oil and other particulates from the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system. While our dual catch can kit offers excellent capacity, this version of our catch can kit is uses a single can and is positioned to fit with Z1's Rotrex Supercharger Kit.
WHY DO I NEED IT?
Blow-by is a phenomenon that is normal to some degree on any internal combustion engine. Combustion gasses leak past the piston rings into the crankcase, creating crankcase pressure. In forced induction applications, cylinder pressures are even higher, leading to elevated levels of blow-by. The PCV system removes these excess gasses by using intake vacuum to draw them back into the intake where they are consumed, but not without catching oil mist in the process.
The Z1 Oil Catch Can Kit is installed in line with the vehicle's factory PCV system. The catch can uses a steel mesh screen to filter oil and other particulates, trapping them in the catch can while recirculating gasses back through the intake. Removing oil particulates allows the vehicle's PCV system to work more efficiently, removing excess crankcase pressure and keeping your intake system cleaner. In forced induction applications, race engines with looser tolerances, or older engines with more piston ring wear, increased cylinder pressure can cause excess blow-by, resulting in a greater need for a catch can to reduce oil contamination in the intake. While other catch can systems use universal lines and brackets, the Z1 kit includes vehicle-specific brackets and formed silicone hoses, guaranteeing a precise fit and simple installation.
OPTIONAL EXTRAS:
An optional catch can drain kit makes service a breeze by relocating the drain to a lower position, putting it within reach during oil changes. A knurled fitting is easy to grab, even with slippery fingers while the mess-free center drain reduces the chance of spills during service. Learn more about the catch can drain kit HERE.
