Several points to add:
1. As 23_ZL1-Auto mentioned, you have to unbolt the supercharger from the engine to lift it up to replace the PCV diverter. The bolts are torque to yield. You are technically not suppose to reuse these bolts because the threads are stretched. A new set of bolts should be purchased to reattach the supercharger to the engine. 2. You have a 2024 stock ZL1 so I’m guessing you still have a good portion of your warranty remaining. Should your ZL1 have a major engine failure, there’s a very good chance GM will void the warranty if it sees the catch can. Now some may argue that you can remove the catch can prior to service. However, it’s not a simple procedure and you’re going to need a new set of bolts every time. Now it sounds like I’m arguing against a catch can. I’m not. On a modified high HP engine it makes perfect sense. On a stock engine I’m not convinced the effort to install and risk to warranty are worth it. There are a lot of GM DI engines out there with thousands of miles on them with no catch can that still run perfectly fine.

I believe the blower mounting bolts are TTY. The seals are probably fine (I think there are 5, total).

I reused mine a few times and broke one off and had to remove the entire supercharge, hoses coolant etc. to back the broken bolt out. They are not expensive, maybe ok to use them once after first removal. But, I buy new now every time! I agree the seals are probably fine, but the 10 bolts that hold down Supercharger are TTY, so get new ones!

This is the reassurance I was looking for. Once my warranty is up I will consider it for sure. Until then, its just exactly that, do I really want to mess with something knowing I am leaving it stock. If i modify, well sure, but stock is it worth the hassle. If you didn't have to remove the super charger I may consider but having to do all that changes my thoughts on it. Quote:
Noted. This is also what I was worried about, its safer insurance just to get new bolts each time. Thanks for the info.

If you want to stop nearly all of the oil and other contaminants there is only one that is that effective, the E2-X Ultra system. And it provides full time vacuum suction on the crankcase instead of simply venting pressure once it builds. Nothing else comes close:

I am giddy, What a stellar product! 1/8 turn quick release a highly engineered quality catch can. This is a game changer in my mind. Going to do the 500 mile garage king lid removal test, to compared it to my current can. No more 50 1/4 turns to unscrew the son of a bitch.

OK. I am confused. I have a 2023 ZL1 1LE. I have a service tech that only works on high performance Camaros. I asked about installing a Catch Can, he said it is already installed OEM. He showed me. I took pictures. Looked lagit. Any clarification would be appreciated.
Hoses/Tubes look identical which is what is the topic. Electrical wiring / sensors look different. PN on the box looks different. corrected: 12683284 Last edited by DansZL1-1LE; 05-08-2024 at 07:05 AM. Reason: add picture |

Let me know if you want me to confirm. Thanks! Apologies 12683284 Last edited by DansZL1-1LE; 05-07-2024 at 09:24 PM. Reason: picture not added. |
