So i found a great catch can on ebay for 100 bucks. here are pics, if u want let me know ill get u the link. Very well made, it already comes with steel wool in it and has a wall between the in port and the exit port so that the air and oil has to go downward, where the oil will fall to the bottom and the air goes around the wall and out the other side.


























the mount and the gismo to empty the oil i made, all they had was a plug and their mounting bracket didnt work for me.

 

nice setup man

 

looks good.

is it one thing you have to get for these cars? i dont have one but i see quiet a few people have them.

 

i still don't get how a catch can works lol

looks nice!

 

lol im kinda confused about them also.

a friend of mine has a srt-4 and says its a almost must. i dont get why lol

maybe someone can kind of explain for us.

 

Really? Lol ok see the Crank vent hose has a tendency to blow a little oil out with the venting pressure sometimes and the vent hose goes back into the intake, so if u have a catch can between , the oil that does come threw the vent hose is caught in the catch can instead of going into the intake and mucking thing up. Simple concept. And in winter, if ur getting cold temps and then warm, u'll get condensation caught in there quite a bit as well

 

I blew out about 12 oz of oil in 2 track days, though admittedly it was crazy hot, and I was making more boost than expected at times. See my thread for more info.
