I was just wondering what exactly is an oil catch can, what it does, and what are the benefits of having it. I pretty much have an idea but just wanted someone to give me the knowledge i need to understand it better. Thank You Guys. I really do appreciate it.

 

There are a couple of benefits.

For one - it traps oil vapors from your crankcase and prevents it from entering your intake system. There are two ports on our valvecover - one leads to the intake and the other is to the intake manifold. Both ideally should be connected to a two-inlet catch can - and an outlet on the catch can to the intake manifold and/or intake - or you can vent to atmosphere.

The 2nd benefit is for boosted applications - it relieves the built up pressure inside the crankcase.

Nice, i liked that info, pics and install of the DC3 catch can.

 

wow that looks pretty easy to do........great link.

 

very helpfull, the K2 motor catch can looks sweet.

 

will it help out any or make any dif with an n/a?

 

^^ If you are stock, leave it stock.. there is really no point putting a catch can if your intake is not modded.. stock intake setup is well designed by engineers.. :

 

a catch can is pretty much useful if you have some kind of forced induction, otherwise it doesnt do much for NA.

 

def not stock. and ok just wondering. seeing if it would be worth it or not.

 

FYI: Import Tuner Mag just did a review and dyno test on catch cans, and say they got an additional 2hp. And it definitly keeps ur valves and ports clean.

 

I saw the same artical in 2uner... I just bought the same brand they used on carter's 240..

 

Cool beans man.

 

I saw the title and all I could think of was "who is your daddy and what does he do" But great find on that website. I never knew how a dual catch can worked.

 

it just prevents crap from getting sucked back into the intake.

 

And because it keeps it clean, it keeps pressure down in ur cylinders, so less wasted power. It's on my list of items to get.

 

i bought the circuit sports 200cc one for 39 shipped..

 

$39 shipped is the cheapest i've heard. Most are near $80. Where did you put it? I saw posts and pics of an install, and it's under the battery. You can't se it there, but we know we don't have much room to play.

 

Well theres the ebay ones for around 20 shipped.. I put it under the battery as well. I plan on moving it so it can be easily viewed.

 

so why does mostly everybody connect the catch can from the valve cover to intake pipe? shouldnt it be connected to the pvc?
