Doesn't even seem aftermarket companies can get their hands on a V6 camaro to develop products.

That said isn't the PCV tube the left circle in the picture I posted at the top of the page? It seems to be a tube from both heads that dumps back into the intake. I'm not extremely knowledgeable or experienced with vehicle mechanics so I'm probably wrong - but that is my best guess for whatever that is.

That's great for the 2.0. They started working on the V6 before that and have come back with absolutely nothing.


As far as the PCV tube, nothing connected to the intake tube in front of the throttle body is a PCV tube. If it is, then no oil is getting into our intakes via the PCV line because my intake tube is bone dry and clean and so is the TB.

Not sure how many miles you have, but to the right of the engine the tube that connects to the intake pipe that's a larger diameter... that's got oil inside. I'm also at 7k right now already. Almost 3 months of ownership.

Also, when I removed the tbodies this week there was an oil film inside. Especially on the backside of the blade along the bore.

Just posted the 2.0 thread, cause granted no catch can is car specific, the hoses and routing may have to be.

But like someone said., no v6s have been in for development.

Well see though.

I can check mine this weekend. If it's oily I'll put the catch can I bought a while ago on.

If ya don't mind post up where ya tap into

OK so I didn't see any oil but I did notice some carbon buildup around the throttle body opening.

I have an eBay catch can for 20 bucks and I didn't want to permanently attach it so it is secured by zip ties for now.

I have just under 3k miles right now.

Pictures below of install.

This is temporary obviously. If I see fluid in this thing I'll get a better can.

An ebay catch can is better than nothing I guess, but... LOL!

i like those blue tubes!

I wasn't gonna buy a 200 dollar catch can if the car didn't need one.

I'm still not convinced from 1 car that there is a problem, let alone one that can be solved by a catch can. In other words, if it's just a carbon problem then the lack of oil will still have it travel all the way to where there is oil (valves etc) before getting captured out of the intake air, still leading to buildup despite the catch can.

As you can see from the intake pictures, the plastic portion of the intake is bone dry and clean where the pcv is connected. Perhaps because the plastic doesn't bond to the carbon well since I do see carbon buildup on the metal throttle body.

I guess i'll find out.

Just incase you haven't figured it out yet, naturally aspirated means that it doesnt have forced induction (turbo or super charger). The only Camaros that are not N/A right now are the 4 cylinder (turbo charged) and the ZL1 (super charged).

This photo is an intake valve of my 4000 mile 6th gen Camaro. Looks like we need to be concerned with carbon deposits just like every other direct injection engine!

Who's going to make us a catch can? Mishimoto?

We have some plans we'd like to carry out with the V6...as soon as we get our hands on one!

We actually have not found a V6 LGX Camaro yet, so no work on that application was done by us...yet! We are still indeed looking for one to start rolling out some products.

Well i've got mine hooked in, driving it ...we'll say spirited.. around. Nothing showing up yet but I'd expect it would take hundreds, if not a thousand miles to start showing up at the bottom of the indicator tube if it shows up at all.
