ZL1 Catch cans
I can't come to a common conclusion but do you need to remove the super charger lid to install a catch can system? Every tutorial i've found or thread on here shows the lid removed while doing a catch can. Is that just to clean the system once the catch can is installed? Or do you need to do this in order to get at the fitting that threads in to the front of the motor? Is it bad if I install a catch can but don't clean all that? I really don't want to be pulling off the super charger on my brand new car, but I am interested in installing a catch can to save it in the long run. Any input or links to other threads would be appreciated! Looking like mighty mouse or the motion raceworks set up is the route most people go. My car is in my signature 24 ZL1

I may be wrong, but according do your signature your car has the black lug nuts....am I correct?....if that's the case than yes the lid needs to be removed.....if you didn't have those, the install would be much easier....good luck!

With many of the catch cans, those that are worth installing. It's not just the "Lid" that needs removed. But the entire supercharger needs lifted up so that you can replace the stock PCV diverter valve with one that doesn't have a port that blows oil up into the supercharge. My Catch Can starts are Post #50, but I had to re-do my can because I swapped out my valve covers for a set that didn't have baffles. I went with the MightyMouse, very straight forward for line runs and hook up.

You can't be serious. I guess I should have added I didn't get the upgraded muffler bearings so does that also mean I need to remove the lid?

I did read your post. Thanks for the input. Looks like its a bigger job than I anticipated. Can it be done, yes, i'm not worried, but its just whether I want to tamper with that or not so soon. Thanks for the help.

I may be wrong but I thought I saw a YouTube video where a Corvette guy fabricated a way to install the catch can on his LT4 without messing with the supercharger. I think I saw it on here somewhere, maybe.

On this supercharged engine, PCV valve is located under the blower on the driver side. so you have to remove the valve with a pass-through to create a non-check valve to prevent it going through the system and into the catch can first. If this sounds alien, please do not attempt this on your own. I’m guessing leaving your computer is not an option.

If that "girl" driver on youtube can do it. I feel I can. haha. Are you guys using new super charger bolts and a seal. Or re using the old ones? Car is only 6months old. Some tutorials use new bolts and some don't. Thanks for all the help thus far.
