Oil catch can?

[GDI Tech]

Correct. And I think you can purchase the can alone.

 

The side by soide testing is amazing to see how much gets past almpst ALL ther cans when tested inline with the E2-X Elite. Then done in reverse. Almost nothing gets past the E2-X and take most any other brand, even those costing far more and they still allows as much past as they catch.

 

So, really pays to get the best, and that is Elite's E2-X, E2 next, and orifginal Elite for the least priced.

Where are you guys getting these cans from? I've been seeing them price from $30 to $350. Seems like a pretty wide range in price. Is there one that a guy is suppose to stay away from or are they all pretty much equal? I have a 2015 GMC Serria All Terrain with the 6.2 love it so far but have been doing so reading and found the catch can thing coming up often. Do I really need the $400 one? Also any recommendations for a truck?

looks like most people are going with the one I recently purchased for my '15 All Terrain 5.3l

95% no matter the price only trap a very small percentage of what your attempting to keep from touching the valves, and that includes some over $1000.

 

The E2-X is the latest in air/oil separation and was designed just for the extreme needs of the new GDI engines that cannot tolerate any ingestion.

 

The E2 was the step before the E2-X and is an excellent solution for the port injection engines that can tolerate a bit and it beats almost all other brands, but nothing beats the E2-X.

 

Most $20-$150 cans are near useless if tested against others.

 

go to: www.EliteengineeringUSA.com to find them, or many vendors as well carry them.

My Mike Norris can was $125. I would by no means call this a cheap or an inferior product. Mike knows these gm engines very well

We supply the hoses separately on the E2-X Catch Cans. They can be a little troublesome to push into the AN fittings, but we found if you run the hose ends under hot water, it really helps to assemble the two.

 

I have used push on hose and fittings for years. The hot water trick works good but I have found an easier way. Use a bit of petroleum jelly on the inside of the hose and on the AN barbed fitting. Use your workbench or other suitable surface you can push against. Put the AN fitting against the solid object and while holding the hose tightly, push the hose onto the barbed fitting. I like to use something that is about waist high and put my hand holding the hose against my hip bone for added leverage. The hose will slide right onto the fitting but can only be removed by cutting the hose. Can be difficult with larger hose, but for the size used in this application, it slides right on.

Yes, this works great as well. Thanks for posting.

I installed the E2-X catch can today. It wasn't overall that bad. I also installed the clean air oil separator. I do have a few questions.

 

1- The clean air separator replaces the oil cap. It doesn't really lock into place as much slide into the plastic fitting that i got and installed. It seems kinda of loose, is that how it suppose to be? It won't ever slide out?

 

2 - I installed the catch can near the wind shield wiper fluid. It all went well except putting the fittings. I am a novice with cars and never dealt with the fittings. So I installed the barbs into the hose and tried to link it with the fittings in the catch can. It is holding but I don't think I went about it right. How am i suppose to attach the hose to the fittings in the catch can?

 

I figured out how to connect the hose correctly, now everything fits in nice and tight. I just need to work on the mount to straight it out a bit more and place it in the correct spot.

 

 

My other question is what is the High Flow check value for?

I'm thinking of replacing my Elite basic can with the new E2-X can and clean side separator. I've read all the post but not 100% sure on all of this.

 

Is the clean side worth it? Should I get the two outlet can (one line going to the intake)? I want this truck to last so I want whatever will be the best in the long run. Still $360 is a lot to drop on this but if it's for the best I might as well now then later.

 

I have 5.3 if that matters any. Thanks for your advise and help.

Their website explains which can to use for different applications. I'd like to know if the E2-X kit comes with the clean side separator. Not very explicit on their site. Or maybe I just didn't see it. Not sure.

The E2-X kit is 339.00 plus shipping on Elite's website. Where did you see 360.00?

The kit includes the clean air separator. The dual outlet can (which I read earlier is what you want for constant negative pressure) is $358 (rounded up to $360). Just not sure if the dual outlet can is what I should get or the single. If single outlet I think check valves are included in the kit as well.

Yes, the Single E2-X Catch Can is $339.00, it does include (1) Exit Check Valve.

Another option is to utilize the smaller Elite can on the cleanside as you already have it, and just buy the E2-X dual valve. I can give instructions if needed on how to route it and saves on getting the cleanside.

 

The kit does include the cleanside, so look at just the single or dual valve E2-X. The dual valves advantage is it gives evacuation at all times utilizing the secondary suction source for when your accelerating or at WOT when intake manifold vacuum is not available. The dual valve comes with 2 checkvalves I am pretty sure.

 

Fondupots videos are great at showing all as well.

[glcbn]

Ok, so which to get, dual valve or single with the separator? Picking from the drop down menu, there isn't a GM truck option for a dual valve E2-X. What I'm looking for is probably on the site, I just don't see it.

[Jsdirt]

Right in the drop down menu, first listing says "GM Truck 2014+ ...." http://www.eliteengineeringusa.com/elite-engineering-e2-x-catch-can/

 

Dual valve has 3 lines, so the can never loses vacuum, even at wide-open throttle. Single is 2 lines - one to PVC, one to intake.
