Stuff collected in a Catch Can

[Au2bahn]

oil catch cans are a very necessary mod on forced induction engines. turbo and supercharged setups can cause a lot of "oil blow by," which an oil catch can will collect. nice idea, OP, your occ looks very well implemented

Thanks!

Hey Au2bahn, I have a VF supercharged zhp and I am looking to do a catch can. I am confused about hose routing. I know the input to the catch can is from the crankcase at the valve cover. Where does the other hose come from? DO I need a PVC and check valve? Which oil can did you use? I am burning a TON of oil.
thanks
Tim

Just finished my can yesterday. Honestly, car seems to have much more torque due to the insanely increased vacuum.

Like how much more we talkin? How would it compare, in butt dyno terms, to say an intake?

Im not going to go Cpt.Rice and say that my intake adds 10+ hp. My only feeling that it has more power that I was doing my usual drive on the freeway and looked down to see I wasn't doing my usual 85. But more like 100

Hmm, sounds worth it. Not sure if the additional tickets make it a fiscally viable option, though.

Not saying I like to cruise at 100. Sometimes yes but in general the car felt great. I see no downsides to the catch, other than maybe smog in CA. One great thing is my car used to to a bit of sputter and stumble on starting, especially when cold outside. With the new can, this hasn't happened once

Think I might try this when my new ccv bites the dust. Apparently my car goes through them fairly quickly.
