For those of you with a catch can....
 
Can I get away with putting the supercharger lid back on without a torque wrench? Would I run into any problems if I hand torqued the bolts?

Do it hand torque
First bolt I torqued with wrench I broke it
I removed the lid and put it back 3 times with hand torque no issues...

By Hand - No issues..

Use a 1/4 inch drive and use german "gutenteight" standard, you'll be fine.

So the lid is the only thing that has to come off to install a catch can?

No it isn't. It seems to be pretty involved. The supercharger base must be lifted about 2 inches apparently. I am on the fence about this since I have been hearing about all the warranty denial stuff.

Look on YouTube
Elite 2x catch can install on ZL1
You will see everything
Just look
Dare
And do
What I did on mine: super easy
You have to remove the lid and unscrew le SC to lift it a couple of inches to access, remove and switch the PCV valve...
Then reverse the process

Hey Biscuit,
What did you use to install the aluminum diverter? It looks like a spanner wrench of some sort may be necessary to fit the slots.

When you pull the OEM diverter you'll find that it isn't in there with much torque at all. I used a chisel to tighten mine down, nothing fancy.

Ah gotcha!! Then install the barbed fitting, which I am assuming needs to be modified because in some instances it was hitting the water pump?

Biscuit.fr 09-08-2018 05:45 PM

Yes
The gold part needs to be cut 45deg because there is not so much room and it touchs the bottom part of the engine.
Like the video on YouTube : Cut it 45deg with a dremel then it works
Then dremel is again your friend :
I built my own tool to torque (very slightly) the new silver pcv valve.
I cut both side of a 19 wrench
Then I got my 2 fitting stuff you need
I will post a picture tomorrow I’m not home

Biscuit.fr 09-09-2018 06:23 AM

here is the tool I built from a 19 wrench

to remove the OEM PCV I used a long std Square

https://i.skyrock.net/7396/98927396/...3_iJl37Vkp.jpg

then to torque slightly the new PCV, I cut at 45deg the gold part and cut 2 extra marks on the silver front with my Dremel just in case something went wrong with the only 2 OEM (now I have 4 to play with...)

that's it, hope it helps...
