Description

At wide open throttle the LSA's crankcase exhales hard, straight toward the intake pipe and intercooler.

The Radium Engineering CCV Catch Can Kit for the Cadillac CTS-V intercepts that flow: the CCV catch can mounts to 3 OEM threaded bosses at the rear of the supercharger housing and runs inline between the crankcase vent ports and the intake pipe, retaining factory functionality. At low loads the can experiences atmospheric pressure, but at high load the vents flow heavily out of the crankcase, which would normally lead to oil and sludge accumulation in the air filter intake pipe, and oil accumulation in the intercooler lowers the thermal efficiency of the heat exchanger and decreases performance. This kit features Radium's Fluid Lock catch can with 2-step baffled internals, installing as a closed loop that stays emissions and track legal.

What You'll Feel

  • The intercooler protected from the oil film that quietly erodes charge cooling
  • A clean intake pipe on a supercharged V8 that breathes hard at load
  • Factory CCV functionality retained through the inline routing
  • A bolt-in installation on the three OEM supercharger bosses
  • Simple dipstick service, checking at 3 to 4 weeks initially

Features

  • CCV catch can kit for the 2009-2015 Cadillac CTS-V (LSA); mounts to 3 OEM bosses at the supercharger rear
  • Runs inline between the crankcase vent ports and intake pipe; closed loop, does not vent to atmosphere
  • Radium Fluid Lock catch can with baffled oil separation and service dipstick
  • Includes LSA-specific mounting bracket, AN adapter fittings and hose ends, stainless hardware, Radium PCV hose
  • Does NOT address blow-by from the PCV valve side; pairs with the 20-0562-FL PCV kit

The Details

The LSA's crankcase ventilation splits its duty by load, with the PCV circuit dominating at idle and cruise while the CCV side carries the WOT flow this kit intercepts, which is why Radium recommends the CCV and PCV kits together for the most protection, packaged as the dual kit. No extra inline check valve is required since Radium catch cans are pressure sealed. Service runs on the dipstick, with the collected mixture of oil, fuel, and condensation drained on the engine's own schedule, and excess collection serving as an early diagnostic. The intercooler-efficiency argument is the supercharged car's specific stake: every film layer inside the heat exchanger costs charge temperature, and charge temperature is power.
