Nope not fitted to VFs.

Holden never fitted catch cans.
Can you imagine the **** up?! People can’t even manage to change the oil let alone make regular checks on a catch can.

with all the confusion here ,overseas and various social platforms about have a catch can installed after this mod, i fitted one to see what happens and i just tap into the existing pcv hose which is new using 5/16th quick connects i have my old pcv orifice to see if the quick connect fits which it did

when you unscrew the dip stick and put your finger over the hole you can feel the suction that going into the manifold

Why not just drill the hole as big as possible and add an inline PCV?

You only need a catch can if you pretty much randomly over size the holes in the PCV. In this case excessive crank case vapours will be collected because the PCV is no longer doing its job in a measured way. Condensate will collect in the catch can at a rapid rate and require frequent checks

Where the PCV is modified to the specific sizes, a catch can will still collect crank case vapour and condensate. It will in any car. The rate at which it collects is far less.

The modified PCV simply puts vapours back into the combustion process. My intake is still clean and dry without the catch cans.

Because there is absolutely zero need to do that. Simple drill holes to the specific size and let it do what it’s meant to do.

i like to have a play and experiment that how we learn

Yea but as you say it has to be specific sized holes, and as you say many people don't do it correctly, so wouldn't just adding an inline PCV solve any confusion?
