This is one of the more important support mods to me because I believe it helps keep the intake manifold clean and give you a better air and fuel mixture.

Dave you are nuts Darren, it's a good bit of kit but I guess if you got the on eith the 12mm braket you can use a reducer to bring it down to 10mm or you will need to machine the port on the standard kit to accept a 10mm hose which is what the zed has. Donot use cheap hoses as I was amazed at how much vacuum even the engine makes in NA guise. Secondly catching the pcv side which goes into the intake tube is not necessary as there is very little oil in the blowby. I've read several threads in the states confirming this and I rechecked my TB butterfly after cleaning it and it is still pristine.

We have an excellent catch can to solve it. Why use a vented catch can? The factory PCV system is insufficient at releasing crankcase pressure that is built up in high powered VQ engines. Oftentimes, this will cause oil to pool in the intake manifold, as well as the potential for ring float and poor piston ring seal in extreme cases. The oil catch can collects the oil mist and condenses the fuel vapors while allowing 'cleaner' gases to be passed back into the intake. Typically the blow-by gasses are passed through a wire mesh, which give the vapor droplets something to adhere to.

I ordered the kit with 10mm fittings as I measured the stock fittings prior to ordering I`m not sure as to if I should fit a 1way valve after the baffle as mine will be making positive pressure from the plenum, don`t really want the crap oil going back in, but I can`t really see much escaping tbh With the PCV side, on the vortech setup it is re0routed to the intake filter before the blower, I`m going to keep an eye on this, mine has never blown any oil through to the TB in the NA setup but if it starts I`ll remove it from the filter & just stick a mini K&N on the end of the rocker cover. I dont think you need a valve because i'm think you will pressure within the breather system will be greater. My basis for ths thinking is that even those who have FI-ed the zed with no catch can and standard plenums with routing tend to see oil in the plenum and in bad cases in the intercooler so it must suggest the pressure gradient is from vent into intake Secondly the OCC design in itself is like a valve unless it is full with oil it can get back though the filter back into the crank. Just play it by ear and see what is what. I will look into my350 is anyone has a problem like this but even Djtimo who has 2 seperate OCC for both sides has no experinced or reported this. I did order 10mm fittings and even called him on the phone to clarify and he suggested he can do this( his advert suggest he can do up to 12mm).

I even enquired about 15-16mm to catch the PCV vent just for extra assurance and to remotely monitor what my rings where doing because if you started to see more oil and also loose compression/ran rough then it would suggest they have cracked or something pre-catastrohic was about to happen However when the OCC cam it was 6mm. You can see he lists the zed and other nissans and evo as needing 12mm fittings I told him this and he apologised and asked me to send him pics of the machined OCC i had done and how i did it which leads me to thing they are not manufactured here So until you get yours and they are 10mm fittings donot rejoice to quickly. Anyway its not too hard to machine as its ali and if you have a good machinist.
