The kits are designed to work flawless on a N/A, Trilogy, or Eaton Swap Marauder
The N/A and Trilogy kits come with prebent pcv hardlines, the Eaton Swap kit comes with a reinforced rubber hose that will not collapse under vacum
N/A kit installed:
Installation Instructions for the N/A kit:
1) Remove your old pcv hardline allong with all the with the rubber grommets.
2) Take the template and place it 1/4"" from the top of the recess in the wheel liner. Be sure to put it dead center. Drill 2 holes just big enough to fit the mounting screws. *If you cant fit a drill then a pocket knife will also work*
3) Place the mounting hardware in this order. The bolt, a star washer, the wheel liner, another star washer, then the flat washer. Now, go ahead and mount the can. *please use all the washers included*
4) Place the rubber hose over the pcv valve then connect the other end to the pcv connector on the catch can. *the connector is labled PCV*
5) Put a dab of vasoline inside the hose marked intake. Look at the orientation for the upper hose and keep the TOP in the correct position. This will take some work the fitting is gonna be tight.
*use a hair dryer to heat the hose to make it easy*
6) Install the other end of the upper hose to the fitting marked intake.
7) Place the tywraps on all the hoses and rotate the head so it is not in plain sight
To service: If the tube on the side of the can shows any oil build up loosen the drainplug at the bottom of the can and empty it.
Once a year you can use an allen key and remove the top of the can and soak the filter element in a degreaser then rinse and allow to air dry.
****If the lid is opened then you must reseal it!
Remove the old silicone off both pieces. Apply a thin layer of 100% silicone to both pieces. Allow them to dry "tacky". Use a toothpick to open all the screw holes and the openings on the lid. Then tighten as you would a valve cover, two at a time****
Here is a pic of a Trilogy Kit Installed:
Trilogy Installation Instructions:
1) Take the template out and place the top drill hole 1/4" from the top of the shock tower recess. Drill through the template. You can also use a small pocket knife to pierce through the fenderwell
**test fit the can for clearance against the Trilogy SC reservoir**
2) Place the hardware in this order. The bolt, a star washer, the fender well, star washer, SS flat washer, then to the catch can. Now you can install the catch can....
**Take your time and dont lose the hardware**
3) Use the supplied hoses and connect to the pcv valve and then to the catch can
**The hoes ends are marked**.
Please use the supplied tywraps to secure the hose connections.
** Try to orient the head of the tywrap so it is out of plain
sight**
4) Install the SC hardline to the catch can
5) Mark and remove the Trilogy steel pcv hardline. The cut line is marked on the hose from the kit. Cut the Trilogy hardline, connect it the rubber hose and tywrap it to the Trilogy hardline.
**Make sure you remove the hardline and cut it flush, then run a file inside to remove any burrs**
To service: Every few oil changes unscrew the drain plug from the bottom of the can.
Once a year remove the lid, soak the filter element in a good degreaser, rinse and let it air dry.
NOTE: ****I seal the cap with 100% silicone if you open the cap remove the old silicone, put on a new coat to both the lid and the top of the can. Let it dry "tacky" before joing the two together****
Here is a pic of an Eaton Swap kit:
Eaton Swap Installation Instructions:
You will need:
Ford EV-111 pcv valve
*optional* 03~04 Cobra CAI to cam cover hose
1) Install the EV-111 pcv valve on the DS cam cover. Orient the pcv valve towards the master cylinder
2) Place the template 1/4" from the top of the shock tower and drill the two holes. If you cant fit a drill use a small pocket knife. Place the hardware in this order on the the bolt. A star washer, the fender well, star washer, flat washer, then to the catch can.
Go ahead and mount the can.
**Be sure not to lose any hardware or overtighten the bolts**
3) Route the hoses like the one in the pic. Look at the bottom hose, both will follow this route, let the S/C hose exit the top of the master cylinder like in the pic too.
4) Connect to the pcv valve and to the S/C and then use the tywrap's to secure the hose ends
*please orient the tywrap heads so they are not in plain sight*
On to the PS:
If you have the stock Cobra hose and 90* fittings go ahead and hook it up, your done. Use this pic for refrence of the CAI hose and cam cover fitting
If you do not have these hoses then do the following: You will need a heat gun.
1)With the stock MM pcv valve inplace on the PS cam cover heat the 90* connector up and pull it off.
2) Remove the two bolts on the cover and remove the stock pcv valve and grommet. Place it in a vice an drill it from the top to "gut" the inside of it.
**remove as much material as you can**
3)Reheat the stock 90* and reinstall it.
4)Relpace the parts back to the PS cam cover.
5)Place a piece of hose from the gutted pcv valve to the CAI tube.
19/32" hose is recommended but 5/8" will also work.
**I send the cans out with the cap installed, If you open the can please remove all the silicone and reapply a thin coat to both the cap and the lid of the can. Let it dry tacky then remove the silicone from the holes in the cap and the screw holes in the lid. Then tighten as you would a valve cover (2 at a time)**
Service: To service the can remove the drain plug and drain.
Once yearly you can soak the filter element in a good degreaser, rinse, allow to air dry then reinstall lid acording to the instructions.
