Motordyne G35 an I have a sedan looking to do some performance mod in the near future I bought an 04 an installed an 05 Motor what's the best way to start ?
@Motordyne G35 you said that you ran your second hose line behind your engine to the second valve stem where is that one? Somewhere behind your intake?
Hey bro! Saw someone else on YT talking trash on this method. Well, I’ve used your method on 4 Gs, as I flip them almost exclusively. I’ve ported the intake and plenum, on all of those. Since I have used the method in this video, after 3 years I have see ZERO blow by or oil sludge in the upper plenum. Just wanted to shout out again. Have a good one.
I just bought a g35 with the DE engine, I’ve had trouble with oil consumption so bad that I’ve had to put at least a quart every week. I do use the vehicle as my daily and sometimes for a spirited drive every once and a while. I really do appreciate this video so much. I hope it solves the issue.
Just got a G35 and I'm looking for ways to ensure I can have it for years to come. This is EXACTLY the type of thing I was hoping to find. Great reference points straight from Nissan itself so I can properly guage my cars health in terms of oil AND a detailed explanation on how to make the engine less prone to build up. Keeping the inside of the engine clean and cutting back on oil consumption sounds like it's gonna be my first mod now. I feel like I can't thank you enough for making this content, man. :)
Great job making this video. I’m new to the Z world & it was refreshing to find a video that was straight forward & stayed focused on educating serious viewers versus just another comedy routine. Hope to watch more of your videos- Thanks again!
Whenever I gotta issue to deal with, I know where to look for help! Just broke 50k on my 06' Coupe RAS. I need to replace that pcv, and add a catch can...so grateful for the time and effort you put into this channel. Years of valuable info at my fingertips!!!
Very good video! My 05 g35x consumes like 2 or 3 qts per 1000 miles (2 weeks of daily commute) and I need to do this, hope it'll stop my inefficient "oil mileage"
Your vids are way helpful! I've been looking for a legitimate explanation on this for ages and none come close to yours. You're literally saving engines one viewer at a time. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this piece of info concerning this oil issue. it's much needed for us VQ owners. Your car looks amazing and sounds just as good. I'm beginning my road to efficiency and power tomorrow. 05 G 5AT!
PVC delete doesn’t fix oil consumption it just blocks the oil from going back into the manifold. Oil consumption happens when oil gets past the piston rings
Love your channel man. I've recently been looking into getting a g35 and have watched tons of videos. There is alot more helpful information and support with these cars then i imagined. Your videos definitely show a more detailed and correct way of doing things although it is much more expensive the outcome is worth the extra money im sure.
Watching these videos has me missing my G. Today, I got hit from the back by a Tesla while I was turning into a gas station. From what I was told my insurance company most likely will total out my car but they will cash me out the blue book of my car. It hurt my heart seeing my Car smashed like that. I’ve had my G for -“almost 5 years now and not once did I have any problems with her. That just shows ab
I bought my 350z new in 2006. I noticed right at the break in of 1200 mile there was no oil on the dipstick. It somehow consumed 1.25 - 1.5 Qts per 1k miles. Those engines are trash. The dealer fought me on this and after 40k miles, I got a new engine. It burned oil as well. I didn't even drive it hard. My GM 4.3 vortec and Toyota FJ burned no noticeable amount of oil between oil changes and probably driven harder.
well on one end of it: vented catch cans might eliminate blow by of oil vapor in the crank case that gets past the piston rings, not so much the oil following through the cylinder head. so if you have worn rings or burnt up guide seals: u are burning oil no matter what. granted i have the non rev up: I've been running the ad1 sealed system catch can for like 3years. Never had sludge in the sealed catch can. I would imagine that's from running E or Blown head gasket or if you are just hard on your engine oil. the oil in my sealed system is always the same color as the engine oil that is drained out. Also if you live in a state with strict emissions the vented can is not gonna fly. Id say keep a known good PCV valve in the passenger bank, and sealed system to keep excessive oil from getting sucked into the intake manifold. If there is a little bit of oil in the intake manifold that can reduce IAT's. and your ports shouldnt get sludged because its port injected. Realistically PCV system is really only for cold starts when the rings haven't expanded with the piston thats went you will get the most blow by on a higher mileage engine. An engine at operating temp with good base mechanical compression really has no need for a vented system.
I was under the impression a revup would need a rebuilt short block to resolve the issue. I suppose there's an element of truth to that if the owner doesn't install a catch can though. Another excellent video though, I like the video demonstrations you've got in there.
Just installed my catch can over the weekend based off of your recommendations. Super excited! One question, I also live in Phoenix, how often do you have to change the breather filter?
Congrats on a vented catch can! Good question. I also have wanted to change the filter but they don't sell the filters separately from the can. It looks like reusable filter so when I empty out the oil blow by, I just rinse and clean the filter. If you need help with your G, message me since I am local and I can come to you, if needed, to help fix your G.
@@MotordyneG35 I would really appreciate it. I just did an engine swap and want to keep everything running as smoothly as possible but also want to start having some fun with this car :)
Motordyne G35 I’m in the process of getting an 06 g35 , how has this vented catch can been working ?how has just cleaning the breather filter been working?
@@lizbethmoreno9063 I can't speak for my boy motodyne but for me, it has been working really well. I probably burn about 1 qt of oil every 3000/4,000 miles. Before I was burning maybe 1qt every 1,500 to 2,000 miles. I did have to change the whole system once because I got lazy and let the catch can overfill. It messed up my filter and it was just easier to replace the whole thing. Generally I try to empty it out every month as well as clean the filter with a hose. I live in the Phoenix so it doesn't get very full in the summer but for some reason in the winter it gets full pretty quickly and you see a lot of "gunk" that would be in your engine. Hope that helps!
One thing that I didnt hear you mention. Is cheap oil and Full Synthetic vs Conventional/ synthetic blend. I have a Durango (2000) that was going through oil like crazy. Switched to a full synthetic and it doesnt burn any oil and I'm very harsh on it too
just going off all the other guys videos on here with the non vented cans... thanks though I'm grateful you put up this video before I wasted good $ on those expensive mishimoto baffled catch can or an eBay non vented catch can! I'm deff going with a vented catch can when funds are in order! Thanks again!!!
The fwd vq35de the backside of the throttle body is where the gases re enter the intake side. From the pcv valve. That hose on the injen or factory intake pipe pulls air, on the altima vq35de.
Title is wrong. Catch can (vented or not) will not fix existing oil consumption. Vented catch can just redirects blow by to the can / atmosphere instead of sending it to the air intake. It does nothing to stop oil from escaping past the piston rings. Also, don’t fear a clogged PCV valve. Driving around with a clogged PCV value can cause problems and should be avoided, but a clogged PCV value will throw a CEL. You’ll get a warning.
i also have a revup, probobly going to grab a catch can soon. i used to have a hr, it was auto and i traded it straight across for a 6 speed de revup. literly feels same speed. hr is just hype.
Zay yeah I know that. I'm a owner of a Z. Drove both auto and manual. They feel the same. Auto feels better because of new jerking but manual is more fun for me
bernardo ojeda said speed wise ya dumb fuck and it’s jerky for you because you can’t shift lmao mines not jerky at all super smooth nothing feels more bad ass than shifting perfectly in a race it’s not as fun in autos
Thanks for this excellent video! Great explanation. I have a question. My G37 with about 105k miles is smoking from the tail pipe. Pcv valves were clogged and it caused some damage; had to replace both valve cover gaskets. Although that was fixed, it still smokes when I start the car. Could this be gunk residue? Will a catch can help this? If so... what setup do you recommend for the VQ37VHR? I’m so bummed. Started smoking the day after I bought the car. Didn’t smoke on the test drive. Thanks in advance! You g sounds sick btw!
Hi sir thanks for the info. I just purchased a 2006 g35 6mt revup less than a week ago and been trying to figurenout what to do about the catch can. I have been wanting this car for years and watched several videos about the oil consumption before i even bought it. But anyways my question is i thought catch can setups generally work by utilizing vaccum to suck the blow by into the catch can filter it and send the cleaner air back into intake. Correct me if im wrong but this seems more like almost a pcv delete almost. Just from the crank case ventalation side as well. My question is do you still have yours set up like this and if you do how has it been working for you these past years. And finally do you see and blow by in the catch can ever and if so how much how often.
These VQ motors really start using oil when the cats are starting to go bad, Especially the rev Up, which leads to galley gasket failure and or oil pump failure. If you have no other issues the catch can will help alot. Great Video ! I deleted cats, Did timing kit, galley gaskets, oil pump, water pump, and a catch can. It still uses oil, but i drive 100 miles per day for work. i had alot of people tell me not to plug those ports but i think there full of S**t . that is a beautiful G !
ive got an 09 fx35, it's burning oil big tyme as the valve seats are shot. whats the best plan for that. whole new motor/rebuilt heads or find a head repair guy??
What you don't address is just how a catch can would help reduce oil consumption. It doesn't. Modern engines are designed to consume oil, from day one. They do this to reduce engine friction by lowering the tolerances in the piston rings and valve sleeves, which allows some oil to slip by. While this does increase gas mileage (and to some extent improve performance) it does directly lead to oil consumption. A catch can will capture this oil, or at least some of it, but not return it to the engine so you do still lose oil. It will help keep your intake system free from oil sludge to a degree but it does not reduce oil consumption. If they were smart, they would just increase the size of the oil pan so your engine would hold more oil to start with and the consumption would never reduce the oil amount to dangerous levels, but hey, that would cost more money and they are not likely to do that. Just thought I'd make that a bit more clear. I do enjoy your videos though. Keep up the good work!
Motordyne G35, I'm thinking that since I am in California, I would have to undo this setup before I have to go get a smog check. Don't think it would pass the visual smog inspection with the vented catch can. I always wondered why they would set up an engine to suck oil vapors and blow by back in to the intake system in the first place, just seems stupid when they know in the end it can damage your engine due to the sludge build up over time. If they have a chart for it they knew it was an issue.... Anyways looks easy enough to do to my VQ's thanks for the info and clear explanation of the fix. I have a 03 G35 5AT a 05 G35 6MT REVUP and a 04 I35. Many thanks!! G's out!!
This also, like you said, applies to Infinitis as well. For instance my 2008 M45 Sport is notorious for oil consumption. In fact the engineering data for the VK45 IS A QAURT EVERY 600 MILES IN NORMAL. WTF? 😂
I heard replacing the piston rings will completely prevent oil consumption on vq35de as well. But completely tearing down and rebuilding. A stock engine to eliminate oil consumption is kinda wild replace
All cars eventually start burning oil because the piston rings start wearing out over time allowing oil to pass by the piston rings. I have 175,000 miles.
Right. Makes sense. Im at 178,000 myself and love my G. Best car ive owned so far. Thanks for all the videos and detailed information in them. Look forward to the next one
I hate to say it but I got a 2002 Nissan pathfinder from the original owner, bought it at 119,000 KILOMETRES. It burns about a quart of oil every thousand kilometres. I do not rev my engine, when I am accelerating onto the highway I allow the vehicle to go through its gears without going above 3,000 rpm’s. It seems like these engines just burn oil. Vq35de
Great video & great information! Question: Potential G35 buyer of 06/07 G35 coupe /w ~100,000miles: 1) How does 1 check before buying G35 if the car has massive oil consumption issues? 2) Do you just go about installing the oil catch can + pcb pipe etc you mentioned at ~100,000 miles G35 or do I need to replace everything before doing all that to make sure the build up doesn't already exists? Thanks!
You will be fine. No way to check unless they let you drive it for 1,000 miles and then check the dipstick according to the consumption chart in this video. The oil catch can will help you get to 300,000 miles. Here is a more detailed install from project import..............ruclips.net/video/zApaVJnmi_U/видео.html
Just double checking that even if the previous owner is at ~100K miles I shouldn't need to replace everything followed by a oil catch can correct? 1)Reason it worries me is what if the build up has already started in the engine....? 2)What are some questions that are not directly "does your car have oil consumption issues?" I can ask to maybe get out the truth about that issue? Or a few things I can check that might hint towards that issue?
Very informative video, thanks for all the links and info. I want to install the same setup of PCV valve you have. I saw the youtube link for installing the catch can you posted on replies here. I just had some questions, do I need a tune after installing this type of PCV valve and catch can, will it mess my emissions test and idle or is it just install and everything will work as normal? Thanks again for all the videos!
Very informative, thank you. Being a frenchie, there's a few things I'd like to confirm with you to make sure I install everything correctly. So to start off, I would need to plug the intake tube port and the "front" pcv port. The other pcv port (the one with the valve) would be connected to the vented catch can. Finally, to complete the system, a hose would go from the catch can to the driver side valve cover. Everything is clearly shown in the video except for that last part: where exactly would I have to plug the hose going from the catch can to the valve cover? I'm guessing all I would have to do is to follow the hose that was originally plugged on the intake tube in order to find it? I'm no mechanic so sorry if my question seems a bit dumb
3:50 sec into video '' on your dipstick...'' ye not working for me. I have done every hack possible, let the car stand overnight, idle it, wait 15 min, used grit paper on the stick to roughen up the edges, the oil is still everywhere even if I just did an oil change
You really need to check the level cold to get the most clear reading; BEFORE you start the engine that day. Expansion after heat will never be 25% so run 3/4 through the hash IF you are that concerned about checking it cold. I generally run 3/4 the way up the sticks hashes; at cold. I even run a heavier oil (Rotella 15/40), so you will be just fine.
thanks so much wasn't sure if there was 2 pcv valves or not....so if I delete my passenger side and have a vented catch can (plenum port plugged up just like the intake port) my hose just will connect to the drivers side valve cover with no modification? pretty much I'm asking cause I saw a pcv delete video and the guy drilled out the pcv himself and hollowed out the passenger side but I don't remember if he did that to the drivers side or if he jus vented it with a filter (like he did to passenger side) sorry if little confusing thank God you posted this video I was about to buy a non vented catch can or install a jegs air oil separator look at the videos on them they don't have one for g35 but watch the Evo video and you can see how well it works and I know this because on Amazon on he jegs separator a guy posted a pic of it installed in-between the plenum and pcv valve and says it's great and catches every bit of oil I was even thinking of installing non-vented catch can end then in between the couch can and the plenum installing a Jegs air oil separator just to make sure I get every did of oil and sludge that could possibly go back into the plenum.... let me no what you think check out the Jegs separator on Amazon and look at the reviews the only pic on the reviews is it installed on a g35...
My opinion on Jegs air oil separator? Ummm....worthless. With both ports plugged, oil vaper can NOT get into the system. Jegs air oil separator is for a closed system, not a vented system. Both ports plugged is better than any separator, the path of entry is completely closed. The picture in the video, is a hollowed out valve that comes that way. No drilling required. You can still use the PVC if you want, but a PVC delete is better. Yes, the driver side will connect, but the hose will not be long enough. Bring your old short hose to the parts store, find a hose that fits to your desired length.
I live in california and I dont think we can run a vented catch can because of carn legality. If you only run your car on the track, that is your prerogative.
So you is this just a "band aid" type of fix since you said the problem originates from the piston rings? Or more a permanent solution? My 04 350z burns lots of oil and it seems like it recently just started doing that
What type of hose did you used Motordyne G35? Where did you find the plugs to seal off the ports? After this install did you have to tune anything or relearn throttle body?
I heard you want your catch cans to be same height as where the tubing starts so the oil can properly get in. Yours kind of goes up before going back down to the catch can. Assuming this has not given you an issue? Also, the vented catch can is different from how things were back in the day as far as how the vapors get in the air since you have that filter at the top of catch can. How often would that filter need to be cleaned/replaced? If I bought a VQ35 motor, do I just need to make sure I have good compression, then slap this on to avoid related oil consumption issues? Meaning if the pistons/rings were somewhat bad, would this save my motor in a way?
No, if you already have pretty bad oil consumption then this will only delay some of the consumption. It isn’t a long term fix or even a short term fix at that. It helps but the VQ has that flaw that can’t be fixed with only catch can. I recommend changing head gasket, and cleaning out piston rings before adding the catch can as that will guarantee a longer oil consumption rate. Anyway I have a 2004 Nissan 350Z, around 107,000 miles and it burns oil moderately but then again it also depends how hard you drive. It’s my baby so I only drive it hard sometimes not too often. For me I burn around 1 quart around 2-3k miles which is significantly better than when I didn’t add my catch can and cleaned out the engine. Good Luck
Great video. Thanks! I understand how the PCV system works and I understand that it results in making your intake nasty/oily. But I don't understand how using a catch can reduces oil consumption. Would the oil that was being burned in the combustion chamber just be deposited in the catch can? It seems that if the oil dropped 10mm in 1,000 mi before the catch can install, it would still be dropping 10mm on the dipstick in 1,000 mi after the catch can. Am I missing something?
lemmy999 ....no you got it. The problem isn't consumption, but the sludge left behind from the burning of oil. Stop the burning of oil or overtime the sludge left behind from burning so much oil eventually becomes a problem.
My 03 G sedan has coolant where the transmission and engine meet undercarriage. I very slowly lose coolant from the resevoir. Only thing I can think of is maybe a heater hose? But I cant pinpoint it. Any ideas?
Have you gotten sludge buildup in your engine or inside of your oil cap from doing this? Im switching to this vented set up and have read a ton of pros and cons.
I think your channel will give me more motivation to mod my Daily 05 g35 once i start warching more of your vids lol, Ive had it for 5 years and always planned on a Skyline (of which ive owned for a year now) & never really put in major work to my G to make it reasonably better, besides exhaust and plenum spacer & just taking care of maintenance etc. If you have more documentation of Exactly how your catch can is set up (since you said theres little more to it) feel free to contact/tell me 👍🏻
Tom Kaos (Official) ....thank you. Here is exactly how I have my vented catch can setup. Only difference is I tucked my vented can behind the windshield washer fluid tank. It is just hanging there supported by 2 rubber hoses running to it. ruclips.net/video/zApaVJnmi_U/видео.html
Motordyne G35 are you using the 3/8 or 1/2 barbs from the catch can? Also I want to get SS braided hoses instead of the ones that came with the kit do you know which sizes I need and adapters needed? Also what size vacuum caps did you use to plug the intake manifold port and the suction point on the intake?
thanks again for all the info I just watch that other video an wanted to see your opinion on the PCV delete cause in the video he said when you do a PCV delete you are going to need to either tune and/or an idle relearn or w.e he said usually cause the car will act all funny with the delete... did ur car need any of that at all?
No tune for a vented catch can.........bhahahah. He said you may need to do an idle relearn and NO, I did not have to do anything after the install. No tune, No idle relearn, absolutely nothing.
I'm planning on doing this very soon! I'm wondering though how the hell you did a brake stand at the start of the video! How did you bypass the fuel cut when you hit the brakes?
I know you posted this 2 years ago but under the steering wheel to the left there’s a fuse box, just pull the stop lamp fuse, disable vdc, and burnout for days! Keep in mind that fuse is responsible for your brake lights being triggered when stepping on the brakes so just be sure to put the fuse back in when you drive on the streets!
Hey motordyne g35 just one question can I just disconnected the hose on the air intake port and add a hose mender and connect it straight to the catch can or does it need to be directly from the valve cover port?
Do you recommend doing a set up like you did for my G35x sedan 06 or the other way when they plug the pvc to the catch and back to the plenimum tube and they don’t even bother to touch around the air intake
I have two 2005 Xterra’s. As you know , same VQ, but bored to 4.0. One has 385,xxx miles and the other with 210,xxx miles. Neither burn a drop or leak any oil. Why the difference?
how did you connect the port in the rear to your catch can, the hose that normally connects to the intake z-tube is much larger than the pvc valve connections.
Have you ever took a long road trip with catch can, I have and I had pressure build up and blew my drain plug; not sure if can and lines were too small or what. It worked fine until I took a road trip on highway.
gmbboys203 ....over 50,000 miles on my VENTED catch can. Yes, I take road trips all the time to California so 330 miles plus, no issues ever. Not sure what you did wrong.
so i have an aftermarket air intake but the vacuum hose keeps falling off. is that bad for the overall life of my engine if I end up driving without it for a days at a time?
Ok thanks so much i jus wasnt sure since he said it MAY need it ya no an hearing an seeing everyone using only non filtered catch cans and only doing the passenger side pcv valve with a non filtered catch can cause they all say the drivers side pcv tube that goes into the intake is bone dry and alwayss is! that's why they always do jus passenger side with a non vented catch cans!!!
Bone dry my ass. Pull off your intake tube and look at all the black residue in your throttle body. The real reason is closed system are legal is why people do it and vented systems are illegal. Just like with anything illegal, if it is illegal, that means it is the good shit.
What's the correct type of breather tank? Idk what's the difference between a lot of oil cc with the filter and can most oil cc can be both inlets only?????
This is wrong. You still need that intake side to be pulling vacuum. The absolute right way would be a three port baffled catch can. Two ports from valve covers, one port to intake.
Hi I’m a few years late on this video lol. By the way, where did you put the other hose that was near your intake for the oil catch can? I just recently installed a catch can myself & im definitely going to do it your way. I understand it’s like in the driver side of the valve cover I just don’t know where it’s located. Thanks in advance.
Have you had problems with oil pressure build up? I did the catch can set up just like you and I’ve been having leaking from the spark plug seals on the driver side (installed valve covers not too long ago) is it cause there’s no vacuum? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks
Hey I know this is an old video and idk if u read comments but in the beginning video what did you do to do that burn out like did you unplug or cut and wire in a switch on your yaw sensor or did u just have vdc off cause if I just turn off vdc my car locks up and is still trying to give me traction... I have found that if I do a couple donuts the car will realize I'm trying to slide and turn slip off on its own then I can do a burn out just wondering what you did thank you :)
When you get the car dyno tuned, uprev offers Infiniti G35 UpRev ARC Burnout Mode. So on your tune, you can have this activated. Z1 motorsports can hook you up, please say I referred you if you call them to talk about it.
Motordyne G35 sweet thanks for quick response one more question is there a way to find someone that already has the tuner and have them "install" the tune on my car or do I have to buy the tuner myself like if I find a shop that works on VQs can they use there tuner on mine just to save money so I don't have to buy the tuner sorry if this is a obvious question or stupid haha I don't know much about tuning and kinda new to the g35 life
Yes, the software is called uprev, not tuner. So you find a tuner who is familiar with VQ's or does " uprev" and you will be fine. They can all do it. There is a difference between a shop and tuner. Shops fix broken cars. Tuners do not, they just do dyno runs and tune the car. Yes, the have the knowledge to fix, but that is not what they do. That is a repair shop.
No matter what you are paying for the software. Just like you pay for microsoft windows. It is $350 for the software "uprev" and then the tuner charges like $300-$400 for the tune.
Thanks for the video. My 05 sedan consumes about 1 quart every 400-600 miles mainly because I drive it pretty hard. I just recently put in a PCV valve delete kit from ProjectImport. But after watching your video, I am planning on doing the same setup as yours. Is your catch can bolted down to anything and did you have to fabricate anything else to make it fit?
My vented catch can is the exact same setup as Projectimport, they are professional tuners. The link to ebay where I show you how to get the exact same part for the PCV delete at a much cheaper rate. The only thing, I did differently is the mounting point for the can. No it is just hanging there, not bolted or anything. The 2 rubber tubes going to it hold it just perfectly in that spot. You have to wiggle it and just figure out like a puzzle piece to get it to go down behind the windshield washer fluid reservoir. Yeah I drive it hard too, everyday. With the PCV delete it will actually consume a little more, but the proper way because the blow by oil from mashing it, isn't going back through the motor. Without the PCV valve, it is always open allowing oil vaper, to always escape from the valve covers. Instead, of waiting on it to be pressurized and have a vacuum pull open the PCV to recycle it through the motor. It is going to the vented catch can. It will consume less if you are off the throttle of course.
Oh man I was hoping for an oil consumption fix but I guess the only way is to not race every bus on the street haha. I just reached 170k and I feel like I'm going through 5 quarts of oil every 3-4k miles, even when I mix it with Lucas oil stabilizer. But the car still pulls strong and I plan to keep it for a while. This is what I just put on the car the other week in hopes to keep the engines longevity. www.projectimport.com/store/350z-g35-oil-consumption-fix-vq35de-and-revup-nissan-infiniti-pcv-valve-delete-and-right-valve-cover-breather-kit/ But I'll probably go with your exact same setup since the can fits snug in that little area and no fabrication was needed. Hopefully this helps with the little oil I keep finding in my 6th cylinder every time I change the sparks. How often do you have to drain the can?
My brother still has his 1994 prelude at 255,000 miles and he has to add a ton of oil to it too. 1 time forgetting to add oil and that is all it takes for an engine to blow at that age, other than that it still pulls strong. I'm at 160k and mine pulls way better than it did new, that is for sure, but I've got a tune and performance parts. Before I got a vented catch can, I did that exact same set up on my own. That is cool, the kit includes the pcv delete that screws into the valve cover, still a good buy, but you still need a vented can. The only problem, you will find out soon is the oil vaper and blow-by doesn't have any can to go into, so it will just leak all over your valve cover. After 1 month, you will have a mess. It will look like you spilled oil all over on the valve cover and then let it dry for a month.
What's the correct link for the pcv valve delete I cannot find it please an thanks

Check out my video on how to get 350HP....................ruclips.net/video/ISFOKiAOTmw/видео.html
@@MotordyneG35 did you installed the clear hose inside of the catch can that came with it or left out?
@Motordyne G35 you said that you ran your second hose line behind your engine to the second valve stem where is that one? Somewhere behind your intake?
Mine consumes about 5 quarts every 4500 miles but only when the drain plug is removed and a new filter put on.
Hey bro! Saw someone else on YT talking trash on this method. Well, I’ve used your method on 4 Gs, as I flip them almost exclusively. I’ve ported the intake and plenum, on all of those. Since I have used the method in this video, after 3 years I have see ZERO blow by or oil sludge in the upper plenum. Just wanted to shout out again. Have a good one.
I saw you light up my Instagram, I barely check it. Thanks bro!
I just bought a g35 with the DE engine, I’ve had trouble with oil consumption so bad that I’ve had to put at least a quart every week. I do use the vehicle as my daily and sometimes for a spirited drive every once and a while. I really do appreciate this video so much. I hope it solves the issue.
Did it worked for you?
Yo did it work?
Did it work??
@@addisongarcia7238 I’m a bad example, I believe my engine will need a new pistons rings but I did notice a difference.
@@_xspec Cheaper to put in used motor then rebuild. Look for some under 150k miles.
Just got a G35 and I'm looking for ways to ensure I can have it for years to come. This is EXACTLY the type of thing I was hoping to find. Great reference points straight from Nissan itself so I can properly guage my cars health in terms of oil AND a detailed explanation on how to make the engine less prone to build up. Keeping the inside of the engine clean and cutting back on oil consumption sounds like it's gonna be my first mod now. I feel like I can't thank you enough for making this content, man. :)
Great job making this video. I’m new to the Z world & it was refreshing to find a video that was straight forward & stayed focused on educating serious viewers versus just another comedy routine. Hope to watch more of your videos- Thanks again!
big thanks ! you’re the best owner i can think of that got a g35 😭
Whenever I gotta issue to deal with, I know where to look for help! Just broke 50k on my 06' Coupe RAS. I need to replace that pcv, and add a catch can...so grateful for the time and effort you put into this channel. Years of valuable info at my fingertips!!!
Very good video! My 05 g35x consumes like 2 or 3 qts per 1000 miles (2 weeks of daily commute) and I need to do this, hope it'll stop my inefficient "oil mileage"
Your vids are way helpful! I've been looking for a legitimate explanation on this for ages and none come close to yours. You're literally saving engines one viewer at a time. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this piece of info concerning this oil issue. it's much needed for us VQ owners. Your car looks amazing and sounds just as good. I'm beginning my road to efficiency and power tomorrow. 05 G 5AT!
Binyamin Breezy .....Thanks for watching. Stay tuned to my channel and hopefully I can help you with your G.
PVC delete doesn’t fix oil consumption it just blocks the oil from going back into the manifold. Oil consumption happens when oil gets past the piston rings
Love your channel man. I've recently been looking into getting a g35 and have watched tons of videos. There is alot more helpful information and support with these cars then i imagined. Your videos definitely show a more detailed and correct way of doing things although it is much more expensive the outcome is worth the extra money im sure.
Watching these videos has me missing my G. Today, I got hit from the back by a Tesla while I was turning into a gas station. From what I was told my insurance company most likely will total out my car but they will cash me out the blue book of my car. It hurt my heart seeing my Car smashed like that. I’ve had my G for -“almost 5 years now and not once did I have any problems with her. That just shows ab
Hi, could you please make a video for dummies such as myself (or point me in the right direction) on how to properly set mine up like this? Thanks 😅
What's a "plenium"? It's PLENUM
I bought my 350z new in 2006. I noticed right at the break in of 1200 mile there was no oil on the dipstick. It somehow consumed 1.25 - 1.5 Qts per 1k miles. Those engines are trash. The dealer fought me on this and after 40k miles, I got a new engine. It burned oil as well. I didn't even drive it hard. My GM 4.3 vortec and Toyota FJ burned no noticeable amount of oil between oil changes and probably driven harder.
well on one end of it: vented catch cans might eliminate blow by of oil vapor in the crank case that gets past the piston rings, not so much the oil following through the cylinder head. so if you have worn rings or burnt up guide seals: u are burning oil no matter what.
granted i have the non rev up: I've been running the ad1 sealed system catch can for like 3years. Never had sludge in the sealed catch can. I would imagine that's from running E or Blown head gasket or if you are just hard on your engine oil. the oil in my sealed system is always the same color as the engine oil that is drained out. Also if you live in a state with strict emissions the vented can is not gonna fly.
Id say keep a known good PCV valve in the passenger bank, and sealed system to keep excessive oil from getting sucked into the intake manifold. If there is a little bit of oil in the intake manifold that can reduce IAT's. and your ports shouldnt get sludged because its port injected. Realistically PCV system is really only for cold starts when the rings haven't expanded with the piston thats went you will get the most blow by on a higher mileage engine. An engine at operating temp with good base mechanical compression really has no need for a vented system.
I was under the impression a revup would need a rebuilt short block to resolve the issue. I suppose there's an element of truth to that if the owner doesn't install a catch can though. Another excellent video though, I like the video demonstrations you've got in there.
Been doing hondas for 5 years now just got a 03 g35 6mt. Looking to learn more about the platform. Great video gave me a lot of great info
Just installed dual oil catch cans on my Hr. Runs so much more efficiently! I fill more acceleration/pull response !
Just installed my catch can over the weekend based off of your recommendations. Super excited! One question, I also live in Phoenix, how often do you have to change the breather filter?
Congrats on a vented catch can! Good question. I also have wanted to change the filter but they don't sell the filters separately from the can. It looks like reusable filter so when I empty out the oil blow by, I just rinse and clean the filter.
If you need help with your G, message me since I am local and I can come to you, if needed, to help fix your G.
@@MotordyneG35 I would really appreciate it. I just did an engine swap and want to keep everything running as smoothly as possible but also want to start having some fun with this car :)
Motordyne G35 I’m in the process of getting an 06 g35 , how has this vented catch can been working ?how has just cleaning the breather filter been working?
@@lizbethmoreno9063 I can't speak for my boy motodyne but for me, it has been working really well. I probably burn about 1 qt of oil every 3000/4,000 miles. Before I was burning maybe 1qt every 1,500 to 2,000 miles. I did have to change the whole system once because I got lazy and let the catch can overfill. It messed up my filter and it was just easier to replace the whole thing. Generally I try to empty it out every month as well as clean the filter with a hose. I live in the Phoenix so it doesn't get very full in the summer but for some reason in the winter it gets full pretty quickly and you see a lot of "gunk" that would be in your engine. Hope that helps!
I don’t even have this car but man the way you explain and give detail examples was interesting👍🏽👍🏽 maybe one day I will own one of these
Thank you! At 190,000 miles and had the G 15 years.....this video will change your mind.....ruclips.net/video/8mzJ74vCF3k/видео.html
One thing that I didnt hear you mention. Is cheap oil and Full Synthetic vs Conventional/ synthetic blend. I have a Durango (2000) that was going through oil like crazy. Switched to a full synthetic and it doesnt burn any oil and I'm very harsh on it too
just going off all the other guys videos on here with the non vented cans... thanks though I'm grateful you put up this video before I wasted good $ on those expensive mishimoto baffled catch can or an eBay non vented catch can! I'm deff going with a vented catch can when funds are in order! Thanks again!!!
The fwd vq35de the backside of the throttle body is where the gases re enter the intake side. From the pcv valve. That hose on the injen or factory intake pipe pulls air, on the altima vq35de.
Title is wrong. Catch can (vented or not) will not fix existing oil consumption. Vented catch can just redirects blow by to the can / atmosphere instead of sending it to the air intake. It does nothing to stop oil from escaping past the piston rings. Also, don’t fear a clogged PCV valve. Driving around with a clogged PCV value can cause problems and should be avoided, but a clogged PCV value will throw a CEL. You’ll get a warning.
i also have a revup, probobly going to grab a catch can soon.
i used to have a hr, it was auto and i traded it straight across for a 6 speed de revup. literly feels same speed. hr is just hype.
Kanaan Nichols because it's auto lol the 6mt is the way to go
Alexander M what that makes no sense at all idiot he said they felt the exact same
Zay yeah I know that. I'm a owner of a Z. Drove both auto and manual. They feel the same. Auto feels better because of new jerking but manual is more fun for me
bernardo ojeda said speed wise ya dumb fuck and it’s jerky for you because you can’t shift lmao mines not jerky at all super smooth nothing feels more bad ass than shifting perfectly in a race it’s not as fun in autos
Thanks for this excellent video! Great explanation. I have a question. My G37 with about 105k miles is smoking from the tail pipe. Pcv valves were clogged and it caused some damage; had to replace both valve cover gaskets. Although that was fixed, it still smokes when I start the car. Could this be gunk residue? Will a catch can help this? If so... what setup do you recommend for the VQ37VHR? I’m so bummed. Started smoking the day after I bought the car. Didn’t smoke on the test drive. Thanks in advance! You g sounds sick btw!
Hi sir thanks for the info. I just purchased a 2006 g35 6mt revup less than a week ago and been trying to figurenout what to do about the catch can. I have been wanting this car for years and watched several videos about the oil consumption before i even bought it. But anyways my question is i thought catch can setups generally work by utilizing vaccum to suck the blow by into the catch can filter it and send the cleaner air back into intake. Correct me if im wrong but this seems more like almost a pcv delete almost. Just from the crank case ventalation side as well. My question is do you still have yours set up like this and if you do how has it been working for you these past years. And finally do you see and blow by in the catch can ever and if so how much how often.
These VQ motors really start using oil when the cats are starting to go bad, Especially the rev Up, which leads to galley gasket failure and or oil pump failure. If you have no other issues the catch can will help alot. Great Video ! I deleted cats, Did timing kit, galley gaskets, oil pump, water pump, and a catch can. It still uses oil, but i drive 100 miles per day for work. i had alot of people tell me not to plug those ports but i think there full of S**t . that is a beautiful G !
do u still have the car? can you explain how bad cats cause oil consumption? lol
That intro was hard 🔥🔥😎🔥🔥
How much oil have you actually caught in the time being since you uploaded this video
ive got an 09 fx35, it's burning oil big tyme as the valve seats are shot. whats the best plan for that. whole new motor/rebuilt heads or find a head repair guy??
Very informative video! Love the G man, Keep up the good content!
Thank you!
What you don't address is just how a catch can would help reduce oil consumption. It doesn't. Modern engines are designed to consume oil, from day one. They do this to reduce engine friction by lowering the tolerances in the piston rings and valve sleeves, which allows some oil to slip by. While this does increase gas mileage (and to some extent improve performance) it does directly lead to oil consumption. A catch can will capture this oil, or at least some of it, but not return it to the engine so you do still lose oil. It will help keep your intake system free from oil sludge to a degree but it does not reduce oil consumption. If they were smart, they would just increase the size of the oil pan so your engine would hold more oil to start with and the consumption would never reduce the oil amount to dangerous levels, but hey, that would cost more money and they are not likely to do that. Just thought I'd make that a bit more clear. I do enjoy your videos though. Keep up the good work!
Motordyne G35, I'm thinking that since I am in California, I would have to undo this setup before I have to go get a smog check. Don't think it would pass the visual smog inspection with the vented catch can. I always wondered why they would set up an engine to suck oil vapors and blow by back in to the intake system in the first place, just seems stupid when they know in the end it can damage your engine due to the sludge build up over time.
If they have a chart for it they knew it was an issue....
Anyways looks easy enough to do to my VQ's thanks for the info and clear explanation of the fix. I have a 03 G35 5AT a 05 G35 6MT REVUP and a 04 I35. Many thanks!! G's out!!
NOW I know what to do to fix my 04 coupe manual oil consumption. THANK you
Courtney R did this work ?
Any update?
Great very Detailed informative video for the G35. Thank you.
Youre videos are super informative and organized!!🙏
This also, like you said, applies to Infinitis as well. For instance my 2008 M45 Sport is notorious for oil consumption. In fact the engineering data for the VK45 IS A QAURT EVERY 600 MILES IN NORMAL. WTF? 😂
I heard replacing the piston rings will completely prevent oil consumption on vq35de as well. But completely tearing down and rebuilding. A stock engine to eliminate oil consumption is kinda wild replace
All cars eventually start burning oil because the piston rings start wearing out over time allowing oil to pass by the piston rings. I have 175,000 miles.
Right. Makes sense. Im at 178,000 myself and love my G. Best car ive owned so far. Thanks for all the videos and detailed information in them. Look forward to the next one
how come you pronounce it plenium?
Does it really matter?
Yes
I hate to say it but I got a 2002 Nissan pathfinder from the original owner, bought it at 119,000 KILOMETRES. It burns about a quart of oil every thousand kilometres. I do not rev my engine, when I am accelerating onto the highway I allow the vehicle to go through its gears without going above 3,000 rpm’s. It seems like these engines just burn oil. Vq35de
Super informative thanks man! I was looking into catch can systems
Great video & great information! Question: Potential G35 buyer of 06/07 G35 coupe /w ~100,000miles:
1) How does 1 check before buying G35 if the car has massive oil consumption issues?
2) Do you just go about installing the oil catch can + pcb pipe etc you mentioned at ~100,000 miles G35 or do I need to replace everything before doing all that to make sure the build up doesn't already exists?
Thanks!
You will be fine. No way to check unless they let you drive it for 1,000 miles and then check the dipstick according to the consumption chart in this video. The oil catch can will help you get to 300,000 miles. Here is a more detailed install from project import..............ruclips.net/video/zApaVJnmi_U/видео.html
Just double checking that even if the previous owner is at ~100K miles I shouldn't need to replace everything followed by a oil catch can correct?
1)Reason it worries me is what if the build up has already started in the engine....?
2)What are some questions that are not directly "does your car have oil consumption issues?" I can ask to maybe get out the truth about that issue? Or a few things I can check that might hint towards that issue?
"Yes the Revvup does consume a lot more, but that's because the people that buy the Revvups rev the shit out of it"
Lmao love ur channel dude, thanks!
Very informative video, thanks for all the links and info. I want to install the same setup of PCV valve you have. I saw the youtube link for installing the catch can you posted on replies here. I just had some questions, do I need a tune after installing this type of PCV valve and catch can, will it mess my emissions test and idle or is it just install and everything will work as normal? Thanks again for all the videos!
Very informative, thank you. Being a frenchie, there's a few things I'd like to confirm with you to make sure I install everything correctly.
So to start off, I would need to plug the intake tube port and the "front" pcv port. The other pcv port (the one with the valve) would be connected to the vented catch can. Finally, to complete the system, a hose would go from the catch can to the driver side valve cover.
Everything is clearly shown in the video except for that last part: where exactly would I have to plug the hose going from the catch can to the valve cover? I'm guessing all I would have to do is to follow the hose that was originally plugged on the intake tube in order to find it?
I'm no mechanic so sorry if my question seems a bit dumb
Here you go, watch the whole video and this is from a professional tuning shop. ruclips.net/video/zApaVJnmi_U/видео.html
Motordyne G35 great thank you
2008 get automatic for sale, 32k miles, $12k I'm about to buy it! The car is well kept, garage kept, one owner!
For that mileage that’s not a bad price! I just bought my 2005 2 weeks ago and I love it except for some electrical problems.
Did this mod affect the idle speed and air fuel ratio,if it did would I need to do a ecu relearn..
@Motordyne g35. I want to set up a system as you suggested. If the pcv valve remains original, will the oil catch can still work?
Thanks for the great videos, I watched them all before deciding to buy my 06 6mt coupe. Catch can is on the way.
Thank you Motordyne G35! This is a great video! Could you do a video on your intake?
Thanks for watching.............yeah what would you like to see about it? Data logs and air intake temps?
He just got a new subscribe because of this thanks man my 04 G35 likes to chug on oil
3:50 sec into video '' on your dipstick...'' ye not working for me. I have done every hack possible, let the car stand overnight, idle it, wait 15 min, used grit paper on the stick to roughen up the edges, the oil is still everywhere even if I just did an oil change
ZekeMagnum the dipsticks on the G’s suck, its near impossible to get an accurate reading
Haha I've done the same
You really need to check the level cold to get the most clear reading; BEFORE you start the engine that day. Expansion after heat will never be 25% so run 3/4 through the hash IF you are that concerned about checking it cold. I generally run 3/4 the way up the sticks hashes; at cold. I even run a heavier oil (Rotella 15/40), so you will be just fine.
dude you need to look at the back side of the dipstick. the face side is always a mess because that side rubs.
How much your consumption after and before??
thanks so much wasn't sure if there was 2 pcv valves or not....so if I delete my passenger side and have a vented catch can (plenum port plugged up just like the intake port) my hose just will connect to the drivers side valve cover with no modification? pretty much I'm asking cause I saw a pcv delete video and the guy drilled out the pcv himself and hollowed out the passenger side but I don't remember if he did that to the drivers side or if he jus vented it with a filter (like he did to passenger side) sorry if little confusing thank God you posted this video I was about to buy a non vented catch can or install a jegs air oil separator look at the videos on them they don't have one for g35 but watch the Evo video and you can see how well it works and I know this because on Amazon on he jegs separator a guy posted a pic of it installed in-between the plenum and pcv valve and says it's great and catches every bit of oil I was even thinking of installing non-vented catch can end then in between the couch can and the plenum installing a Jegs air oil separator just to make sure I get every did of oil and sludge that could possibly go back into the plenum.... let me no what you think check out the Jegs separator on Amazon and look at the reviews the only pic on the reviews is it installed on a g35...
My opinion on Jegs air oil separator? Ummm....worthless. With both ports plugged, oil vaper can NOT get into the system. Jegs air oil separator is for a closed system, not a vented system. Both ports plugged is better than any separator, the path of entry is completely closed.
The picture in the video, is a hollowed out valve that comes that way. No drilling required. You can still use the PVC if you want, but a PVC delete is better. Yes, the driver side will connect, but the hose will not be long enough. Bring your old short hose to the parts store, find a hose that fits to your desired length.
All I’m missing now is the lower plenum & spacer :( installing the Art pipes this weekend though!!!!
Excellent video and info thanks!
Every car has oil consumption,
my Toyota 4Runner v8 4.7 (hold my beer)
Have you done a install video on this catch can? It looks very confusing to install
I live in california and I dont think we can run a vented catch can because of carn legality. If you only run your car on the track, that is your prerogative.
Very helpful. Appreciate the Vid 🙏
So you is this just a "band aid" type of fix since you said the problem originates from the piston rings? Or more a permanent solution? My 04 350z burns lots of oil and it seems like it recently just started doing that
Did you do anything with the valve cover PCV valve on the divers side ?
What type of hose did you used Motordyne G35? Where did you find the plugs to seal off the ports? After this install did you have to tune anything or relearn throttle body?
Dude excellent video
I heard you want your catch cans to be same height as where the tubing starts so the oil can properly get in. Yours kind of goes up before going back down to the catch can. Assuming this has not given you an issue?
Also, the vented catch can is different from how things were back in the day as far as how the vapors get in the air since you have that filter at the top of catch can. How often would that filter need to be cleaned/replaced?
If I bought a VQ35 motor, do I just need to make sure I have good compression, then slap this on to avoid related oil consumption issues? Meaning if the pistons/rings were somewhat bad, would this save my motor in a way?
No, if you already have pretty bad oil consumption then this will only delay some of the consumption. It isn’t a long term fix or even a short term fix at that. It helps but the VQ has that flaw that can’t be fixed with only catch can. I recommend changing head gasket, and cleaning out piston rings before adding the catch can as that will guarantee a longer oil consumption rate. Anyway I have a 2004 Nissan 350Z, around 107,000 miles and it burns oil moderately but then again it also depends how hard you drive. It’s my baby so I only drive it hard sometimes not too often. For me I burn around 1 quart around 2-3k miles which is significantly better than when I didn’t add my catch can and cleaned out the engine. Good Luck
Great video. Thanks! I understand how the PCV system works and I understand that it results in making your intake nasty/oily. But I don't understand how using a catch can reduces oil consumption. Would the oil that was being burned in the combustion chamber just be deposited in the catch can? It seems that if the oil dropped 10mm in 1,000 mi before the catch can install, it would still be dropping 10mm on the dipstick in 1,000 mi after the catch can. Am I missing something?
lemmy999 ....no you got it. The problem isn't consumption, but the sludge left behind from the burning of oil. Stop the burning of oil or overtime the sludge left behind from burning so much oil eventually becomes a problem.
My 03 G sedan has coolant where the transmission and engine meet undercarriage. I very slowly lose coolant from the resevoir. Only thing I can think of is maybe a heater hose? But I cant pinpoint it. Any ideas?
Have you gotten sludge buildup in your engine or inside of your oil cap from doing this? Im switching to this vented set up and have read a ton of pros and cons.
I think your channel will give me more motivation to mod my Daily 05 g35 once i start warching more of your vids lol, Ive had it for 5 years and always planned on a Skyline (of which ive owned for a year now) & never really put in major work to my G to make it reasonably better, besides exhaust and plenum spacer & just taking care of maintenance etc. If you have more documentation of Exactly how your catch can is set up (since you said theres little more to it) feel free to contact/tell me 👍🏻
Tom Kaos (Official) ....thank you. Here is exactly how I have my vented catch can setup. Only difference is I tucked my vented can behind the windshield washer fluid tank. It is just hanging there supported by 2 rubber hoses running to it. ruclips.net/video/zApaVJnmi_U/видео.html
+Motordyne G35 Thanks sir 👍🏻
Motordyne G35 are you using the 3/8 or 1/2 barbs from the catch can? Also I want to get SS braided hoses instead of the ones that came with the kit do you know which sizes I need and adapters needed? Also what size vacuum caps did you use to plug the intake manifold port and the suction point on the intake?
thanks again for all the info I just watch that other video an wanted to see your opinion on the PCV delete cause in the video he said when you do a PCV delete you are going to need to either tune and/or an idle relearn or w.e he said usually cause the car will act all funny with the delete... did ur car need any of that at all?
No tune for a vented catch can.........bhahahah. He said you may need to do an idle relearn and NO, I did not have to do anything after the install. No tune, No idle relearn, absolutely nothing.
Big time oil consumption is quite normal for Nissan after selling out to Renault. Screw me once shame on Nisuck, screw me twice? Never gonna happen.
I'm planning on doing this very soon! I'm wondering though how the hell you did a brake stand at the start of the video! How did you bypass the fuel cut when you hit the brakes?
I know you posted this 2 years ago but under the steering wheel to the left there’s a fuse box, just pull the stop lamp fuse, disable vdc, and burnout for days! Keep in mind that fuse is responsible for your brake lights being triggered when stepping on the brakes so just be sure to put the fuse back in when you drive on the streets!
Hey motordyne g35 just one question can I just disconnected the hose on the air intake port and add a hose mender and connect it straight to the catch can or does it need to be directly from the valve cover port?
Do you recommend doing a set up like you did for my G35x sedan 06 or the other way when they plug the pvc to the catch and back to the plenimum tube and they don’t even bother to touch around the air intake
I have two 2005 Xterra’s. As you know , same VQ, but bored to 4.0. One has 385,xxx miles and the other with 210,xxx miles. Neither burn a drop or leak any oil. Why the difference?
Wow, great video. I am buying a G35 tomorrow. Gòd to know.
Thank you so much for this video.
Nice video. Thanks for the info.
how did you connect the port in the rear to your catch can, the hose that normally connects to the intake z-tube is much larger than the pvc valve connections.
Have you ever took a long road trip with catch can, I have and I had pressure build up and blew my drain plug; not sure if can and lines were too small or what. It worked fine until I took a road trip on highway.
gmbboys203 ....over 50,000 miles on my VENTED catch can. Yes, I take road trips all the time to California so 330 miles plus, no issues ever. Not sure what you did wrong.
Some countries have warrant of fitness testing & a vented catch can can be failed for emissions so may be why some are running sealed
so i have an aftermarket air intake but the vacuum hose keeps falling off. is that bad for the overall life of my engine if I end up driving without it for a days at a time?
Ok thanks so much i jus wasnt sure since he said it MAY need it ya no an hearing an seeing everyone using only non filtered catch cans and only doing the passenger side pcv valve with a non filtered catch can cause they all say the drivers side pcv tube that goes into the intake is bone dry and alwayss is! that's why they always do jus passenger side with a non vented catch cans!!!
Bone dry my ass. Pull off your intake tube and look at all the black residue in your throttle body. The real reason is closed system are legal is why people do it and vented systems are illegal. Just like with anything illegal, if it is illegal, that means it is the good shit.
What's the correct type of breather tank? Idk what's the difference between a lot of oil cc with the filter and can most oil cc can be both inlets only?????
Since your can isn't venting back into the motor did you run the clear tubes to the bottom of the can on both ports?
i have a g37 but those one have 2 pcv valve so i need 2 catch can like you have . thanks for your help
This is wrong. You still need that intake side to be pulling vacuum. The absolute right way would be a three port baffled catch can. Two ports from valve covers, one port to intake.
Hi I’m a few years late on this video lol.
By the way, where did you put the other hose that was near your intake for the oil catch can? I just recently installed a catch can myself & im definitely going to do it your way.
I understand it’s like in the driver side of the valve cover I just don’t know where it’s located.
Thanks in advance.
Did you figure it out I need help too
Have you had problems with oil pressure build up? I did the catch can set up just like you and I’ve been having leaking from the spark plug seals on the driver side (installed valve covers not too long ago) is it cause there’s no vacuum? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks
what is your plenum covered in? looks like some type of bed liner. its neat
Hey I know this is an old video and idk if u read comments but in the beginning video what did you do to do that burn out like did you unplug or cut and wire in a switch on your yaw sensor or did u just have vdc off cause if I just turn off vdc my car locks up and is still trying to give me traction... I have found that if I do a couple donuts the car will realize I'm trying to slide and turn slip off on its own then I can do a burn out just wondering what you did thank you :)
When you get the car dyno tuned, uprev offers Infiniti G35 UpRev ARC Burnout Mode. So on your tune, you can have this activated. Z1 motorsports can hook you up, please say I referred you if you call them to talk about it.
Motordyne G35 sweet thanks for quick response one more question is there a way to find someone that already has the tuner and have them "install" the tune on my car or do I have to buy the tuner myself like if I find a shop that works on VQs can they use there tuner on mine just to save money so I don't have to buy the tuner sorry if this is a obvious question or stupid haha I don't know much about tuning and kinda new to the g35 life
Yes, the software is called uprev, not tuner. So you find a tuner who is familiar with VQ's or does " uprev" and you will be fine. They can all do it. There is a difference between a shop and tuner. Shops fix broken cars. Tuners do not, they just do dyno runs and tune the car. Yes, the have the knowledge to fix, but that is not what they do. That is a repair shop.
No matter what you are paying for the software. Just like you pay for microsoft windows. It is $350 for the software "uprev" and then the tuner charges like $300-$400 for the tune.

Where is the hose from the out side of the catch can go. Doing this on my hr, no good fourms out there. I want to run a vent to atmosphere.
can you do a more in depth video about installing the catch can plzz
Quick question. What about the hose going from where the battery is to the plenum, should that be blocked off?
No that's for the brake booster
Thanks for the video. My 05 sedan consumes about 1 quart every 400-600 miles mainly because I drive it pretty hard. I just recently put in a PCV valve delete kit from ProjectImport. But after watching your video, I am planning on doing the same setup as yours. Is your catch can bolted down to anything and did you have to fabricate anything else to make it fit?
My vented catch can is the exact same setup as Projectimport, they are professional tuners. The link to ebay where I show you how to get the exact same part for the PCV delete at a much cheaper rate. The only thing, I did differently is the mounting point for the can. No it is just hanging there, not bolted or anything. The 2 rubber tubes going to it hold it just perfectly in that spot. You have to wiggle it and just figure out like a puzzle piece to get it to go down behind the windshield washer fluid reservoir.
Yeah I drive it hard too, everyday. With the PCV delete it will actually consume a little more, but the proper way because the blow by oil from mashing it, isn't going back through the motor. Without the PCV valve, it is always open allowing oil vaper, to always escape from the valve covers. Instead, of waiting on it to be pressurized and have a vacuum pull open the PCV to recycle it through the motor. It is going to the vented catch can. It will consume less if you are off the throttle of course.
Oh man I was hoping for an oil consumption fix but I guess the only way is to not race every bus on the street haha. I just reached 170k and I feel like I'm going through 5 quarts of oil every 3-4k miles, even when I mix it with Lucas oil stabilizer. But the car still pulls strong and I plan to keep it for a while.
This is what I just put on the car the other week in hopes to keep the engines longevity. www.projectimport.com/store/350z-g35-oil-consumption-fix-vq35de-and-revup-nissan-infiniti-pcv-valve-delete-and-right-valve-cover-breather-kit/
But I'll probably go with your exact same setup since the can fits snug in that little area and no fabrication was needed. Hopefully this helps with the little oil I keep finding in my 6th cylinder every time I change the sparks.
How often do you have to drain the can?
My brother still has his 1994 prelude at 255,000 miles and he has to add a ton of oil to it too. 1 time forgetting to add oil and that is all it takes for an engine to blow at that age, other than that it still pulls strong. I'm at 160k and mine pulls way better than it did new, that is for sure, but I've got a tune and performance parts.
Before I got a vented catch can, I did that exact same set up on my own. That is cool, the kit includes the pcv delete that screws into the valve cover, still a good buy, but you still need a vented can. The only problem, you will find out soon is the oil vaper and blow-by doesn't have any can to go into, so it will just leak all over your valve cover. After 1 month, you will have a mess. It will look like you spilled oil all over on the valve cover and then let it dry for a month.
Thats what I'm afraid of. Thanks for video.
