Corksport's NewOil Catch Can

[littleloogy]

I have not had any problems with oil in my intake and I log A shit ton with testing E85 mixes. I am however on a factory airbox. Perhaps the position of the hose connecting to the intake affects how much vacuum it sees?

Could be. I have the Corksport stage 2 intake. The hose is s lot closer to the turbo than the stock configuration.

man idk what to do and i want one. i dont want to be worrying about it, i know that much.

I have not had a single issue out of my catch can. Works like a catch can should.

If there was a design flaw, I would have found it by now. I will stick my neck out and say it works as it should. Worry not @Blkpearl; as long as it is installed correctly, you won't have a problem.

I have had no problems with mine, car runs great, just not sure that it is really catching much as the TIP is pretty oily. I wonder if some type of baffling or fill could help it catch more of the oil from the air stream. Based on the way the oil path inside my TIP is, I would say it is flowing a lot of air out through the can though.

Did you need to remove the whole undertray for the install or just the rear-half?

I just removed the rear under tray. I think there was like 10 bolts or something. I do suggest some really long needle nose pliers to help with the IM hose removal. That thing was a bitch to get off.

I second that. Getting the hose off the pcv valve without breaking anything can be tricky. I used long, needle nose, hose pliers.

So getting the hose off is not the issue, its getting the clamp off. Once thats done Can you just pull of the hose without worrying about breaking the plastic pcv? When I did my intake I just cut it off the bcs solenoid rather than risk breaking that cheap plastic nipple off

I pulled mine off with ease, but I did it slow and twisted the hose to make sure it was not fused to the valve. It did not feel like it would break. Just take your time, it will be OK.

Something like a nitrous bottle heater in a smaller scale.

Me thinks I really need this little gem before anything else. My car is fairly stock aside from a SRI and a couple other small mods from the previous owner. I'm all about a healthy car before any hp gains. Sounds like a sweet little thing.

I have never had that much fluid come out of my OCC. I just drained it for first time in months during winter and not much came out. engine dipstick not popping out so don't think it is clogged. Saikou Michi oil catch can.
I will try to take a look in intake to see if stuff is getting by but seems like that is excessive for ~200mi.

And I know this thread is old...just happened upon it.

[littleloogy]

Since I have been off E85 I don't get as much. This was from a little under 200 miles
Shit still stinks though.

Using the throttle body coolant line would be the easiest solution...you would just need a double wall CC (I bypass the throttle body coolant line and never had a problem...even in -30 climate)

However, wouldnt a cooled CC be better to condense the oil vapor to droplet (I always wondered if a small oil cooler plugged in series immediatley before the CC help with condensing the oil vapor)
