The Z1 Baffled Catch Can Kit filters oil and other particulates from the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system on the Nissan 370Z.
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 excess crankcase pressure. 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.
NOTE: The Z1 catch cans DO NOT fit with factory intakes. Z1 cannot guarantee fitment on cars with turbo or supercharger kits installed.
