Adding a catch can to the 2.0T
Wanting to add a catch can to my 2.0t as it's DI, but I've never dealt with adding one to a boosted car before so I reached out to Elite Engineering, here was their very informative email response to my questions:
Quote:
Note the above bold text in RED... They claim that the 2016 has beefier pistons than the previous LTG engines. I don't know if this is Camaro specific, but hopefully if this is true, we won't be seeing any piston problems like the ATS crowd has in the past. I have sent them a follow up email asking how to go about ordering as they do not currently list an E2-X kit on their website for the 2.0T Camaro, or the ATS. I plan on ordering and installing very soon. |

Be careful GM will pull your powertrain warranty.

We'll see... They'll have a lot better reasons to cancel my warranty by the time I'm done messing with the engine anyway
I hope to be able to mount the can fairly hidden so the dealer or anyone may not notice it for easy service like oil changes. With any luck it won't be out in plain sight to be seen in pictures that get sent to GM if the engine blows up... Worst case scenario I'll just take it off before going in... We'll see what happens in the future. It seems to me they would have done something have the PCV issues after all these years. When a guy can drain multiple ounces of a catch can between oil changes, that tells me there is something wrong. Anyway, Elite Engineering has just added the new dual valve CC kit for the GM 2.0 engines to the E2-X ordering page. The part number is E2X-A1DVP11. I just ordered mine. |

I thought that was funny myself. It says RX on the clean side separator in the diagram picture, and if you look close on the first picture of the actual can it has an RX sticker...
I've figured Elite was getting their clean side separators from RX for a while, but seeing the can with the RX sticker on it was interesting... Perhaps they are generic pictures taken from someone elses install of an RX can on a 2.0T? |

This is the can I bought from Elite today, the E2-X:
They also offer a bigger can for "extreme builds", the E2-Ultra Funny, I decided to see what RX was upto and I see the new "Tracy Lewis" catch can looks like a dead ringer for the E2-Ultra I'm betting either the same place makes them all for both and they just put different names on them, or perhaps elite gets their cans from RX. I'm suspected they've been in bed together for quite a while based on the clean side separator. I'd say that perhaps elite is a front for RX, but elite is in CO and rx is an FL It is interesting, but really doesn't matter as long as the stuff works. |

Can finally showed up. Haven't had a chance to install yet because of rain.
I hope to see some good results. I'm already seeing lots of oil everywhere when I pull something off.. Oil on the TB, oil in the intake tube, oil in the turbo inlet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Very cool. Really nice quality. Has anyone have access to the GM maintenance manual for the 2.0? Like to get schematic diagram for the turbo inter-cooler setup.

Thanks for posting... I'm going through some of those threads, especially the whistle fix, what's this about a lean code check engine light being thrown after a catch can install?
I still haven't installed my can as I've still been researching things... And as for the whistle... I see they are(were, seems you can't get the part anymore?) jetting down one of the lines? I saw your picture, it looks like maybe the end of the check valves is supposed to be jetted down? I'll have to check mine and see what they look like. Elite Eng. told me that the whistle was due to a baffle in the valve cover, and that I would have to take the valve cover off and cut out the baffle to make it stop. |

That is interesting...
I checked my parts box to see what Elite had sent me, and I do see a barbed straight fitting that has a smaller hole in it, I'm guessing it's a restrictor... They didn't put any instructions in the box, and I only have the picture diagram in the first post. I'm guessing this restrictor must go on the clean side then? Looks like you basically replicated the clean side separator in the oil cap, without the can part. |

I had that happen on my LLT when I forgot to close the drain valve of the catch can.

So all u did was use the cap to vent back into the fresh air and left the two check valves alone to stop the whistle?
