2012 gen 5.0 r spec Oil Catch can install

[MFproblem]

Coming from the Theta II optima i have learned that GDI tends to cause a bit much of oil to gather, and being that the genesis is also gdi i decided to put my oil catch can on the genesis 5.0 r spec. ill be keeping up with this weekly to show the amount of build up in oil the catch can obtains. Pictures of the setup and location will be posted shortly!

Looks good brotha, how long did the install take? Looking forward to the results!

Good choice of can. (baffled)

Also interested to see the blowby results.

it took a little longer than expected usually takes about 10 min. but we had some difficulties in finding a place for fitment. i actually dislike this place because i have to remove the whole catch can inorder to empty it out. in the near future with the intake i think this would be less of a hastle... i hope! really sad on how much room is available on the genesis 5.0 r spec 2012

Well, that appropriately sized engine can kinda get in the way.

It looks great, how much oil did it collect?

Do you have a parts list or install instructions?

I ordered my parts today. I have been considering this after switching out my intake with an aftermarket CAI.

There was a small amount of what appeared to be oil collected up just inside my throttle body in the intake runner and a small amount of black soot on the throttle body flapper itself.

Good to see that someone else has already done an install.

do you mind sharing a parts list, I would like to perform this also

As soon as my parts come in and I make sure of the install location and hardware, I will post a DIY.

Can you take some pictures of where the hoses go?

Did the catch can ever solve the problem? I'm getting an occasional puff of oil when accelerating. Wife unit even noticed it when leaving a stop light. Had to add half a quart between oil changes this time and it's down a full quart now. That's a quart and a half in 3000 miles. If the PVC service/clean can't solve the problem then it looks like a piston ring problem.
Yes, mine is an early 2012 with 55000 miles.

If you got that much blow by that warrants a catch can you got some major issues with that engine.
