Experience with oil catch cans

Has anyone installed an oil catch can on the G37? I was thinking about it and wonder if it would be a wise investment. And where do you attach the lines?

I have no idea why the hell you would be using catch cans in this car!Unless you are tracking this car (who the hells knows why) there is no need for a catch can. Unless you are some how getting blowby through your PCV valves then there would be no need.

I dont really think you need one unless you are running a turbo car.

You'd be surprised, over time, how much stuff actually gets into the intake manifold

Yeah its usually beneficial on turbo cars but it can still help on everyday cars. We carry both models of GReddy catch cans, but there are no-name brands that are cheaper.

Do you put on a condom before you go out; just in case you meet a willing girl?

There is an article in Oct. issue of Import tuner Magazine titled "FACT or FICTION' will oil catch cans yield more power? On XS Engineerings dyno test they saw that not only did the catch can make power; they could actually see how it worked. A noticeable amount of blow by sludge accumulated in the tank after extensive highway driving and dyno testing. Blow- by pressure had a significantly harder time exiting the head than when sucked out by a catch can. The short end of it is: Catch cans work. They keep engines clean and vent power robbing pressure from their cylinder head(s). The more moving parts make up your engines cylinder head(s), the higher cylinder pressures increase- or the more your engine suffers from blow-by, the more a catch can works. READY TO PUT ONE ON YOUR G37?? The tests were done on one of the dirtiest engines they could find. With that said; I'm not sure if Catch cans would help us guys who are our changing oil like changing a diaper on our baby. BTW whats so wrong with putting on a condom before that date. he he
