2016 and up GM LGX engine installation

Elite Engineering E2-XTM and E2TM Air/Oil

Separation system installation guide Last updated: 1/22/2018

E2-Single Catch Can

The LGX engine released for the 2016 model year on some GM platforms (Gen6

Camaro specifically for this installation) GM has deleted the most important portion of

the PCV system in an attempt to keep oil mist from the intake air charge that causes

intake valve coking issues. This has helped slow the rate of coking deposits, but has

sacrifice engine longevity in doing so. The PCV system is the only system that removes

the damaging contaminates form the crankcase before they can settle and mix with the

engine oil causing wear. Now that they have deleted using the intake manifold vacuum,

the oil quickly becomes overwhelmed with the raw fuel, water vapor, sulfuric acid,

and abrasive particulate matter all GDI engines have in far greater amounts then past

port injection engines. So this system corrects this by adding back in the intake manifold

vacuum as well as a secondary evacuation suction source while retaining an emissions

compliant closed PCV system with far greater function than the factory system.

Note: These instructions are the same for the E2-X and E2 Catch Cans. See

pictures of the E2 Catch Can at the bottom of this document.

The bracket, a long L bracket will bolt to the 15mm headed bolt on the front of the

engine cover behind and below the radiator hose as shown. Make sure the L portion

faces toward the left side of the engine compartment:

Note how the abrasion cover protects the radiator hose from can and bracket.

Once the can is secured (use a 7/16 wrench to tighten both bolts and the

clamp to secure the can. (if a different model Catch Can (E2), mount accordingly).

Now we are going to separate the dirty/foul side line from the Venturi valve on the

driver’s side of the intake assy. And use a 1⁄4 NPT tap to cut threads into the hard line

coming from the rear of the engine. This will connect to the inlet, or center fitting on the

can bringing the foul vapors from the crankcase.

There MUST be a fixed orifice flow restrictor inline in the center hose. The Venturi

valve side we insert a 3/8” NPT barb into with a 3/8” barb and this will run to one of the

outlets (outer fittings) on the can with a check valve flowing away from the can inline.

(pics on next page) This provides the evacuation suction when accelerating or at WOT.

The second outlet form the can w/check valve flowing away from the can will connect

to a 1⁄4 NPT x 3/8” barb you drill and tap into the driver’s side of the intake manifold

snout as shown in the pictures. The barb will have a fixed orifice flow restrictor inside of

it. This will provide evacuation at idle, cruise, and deceleration correcting the flawed

design of the factory PCV system restoring full time evacuation and long engine life

while removing the oil and other compounds from the intake air charge.

Now we can go on to the Clean Side Separator:

Remove this hard-plastic OEM line:

Cap this barb with the rubber vacuum cap provided:

Cap shown here in orange for better clarity. Your vacuum cap will be black in color:

Unscrew and replace your stock Oil Fill Cap with our Clean Side Separator (CSS1):

Finally run a rubber hose from the Clean Side Separator to the hose barb:
