Catch CAn 101, this is how you build them.

[ptperformance]

Alright, we have the final design and all I have to do is get the brakets and hoses together for the MS3/6 specific install.

We started with clear lexan tube, this was to monitor the flow rates coming into and out of the CC, then we started with 5 different media filters for the wet side of the CC. After all that we found the proper media that will not clog, the proper depth to run it at (yes the makes a huge difference), then and last the CC separation plate and the location of the holes.

Well, what you see in the pictures is the final design. I have 25 of these ready just waiting on the brackets.

We are using 11 gauge material with .250 tops and bottoms. I can take 300 psi and the threaded banjo fittings are able to swing 180 degrees on its side of the can. This will make line location much easier then the other cans that are on the market. We have 5/16 to 1/2 fittings availiable with the hose to match it.

The media is a stainless steel mesh/woven material that supports 350 degrees and will not break down under the corrosive conditions that you normally find in oil vapor (lots of acid).

From out testing we have seen 98% of all oil vapors trapped in the can and nothing but clean dry air making its way to the intake manifold. The only draw back with our CC is we don't have a drain. We do have an option for a drain but is a $110 option (push lock drain set up). We will have that as an option and only that. All the other drains on the market leak and we don't want to have oil messes under customers hoods.

Do you need a quality CC like this, yes and only if your serious about keeping the oil out of your manifold. Check out our CC's to the other big names on the market and you will see that nothing but pure quality goes into these.

The will come in black and full polish.

The black will either be anodize or powder coat, $169 with bracket, lines and fittings.

Full polish, $199 with bracket, lines and fittings.

We built these to be bomb proof, and they perform just as well as they were built.

Thanks.

i don't see the point in a catch can setup unless it actually elimiates pressure in the crankcase, what do these take it to? any chance a kit could come out, where it could pull 4 lines from the valve cover and 1 or two on the block and actually work and not just collect oil?

[xandrake]

Sub'd for details.

i wouldn't say all cans leak that have drains, but this looks nice.

[fbpem1]

i have had them overfill too quickly when not running one large enough on the track.

[Lex]

Anyone had any issues with steel wool being pulled from the can into the intake?

[802MS3]

so how do you drain them?

[airjeff]

Looks nice! A little higher $$ than some, but you get what you pay for. The pics make it look like the can is welded top and bottom. Do you have to remove it and dump it out through the fittings?

[mazdarati]

nice, nice

[Speedie6]

Where's the bracket go? I assume that it will mount clear of the airbox you are talking about selling.

[Speedie6]

Oh, and you said that if we do the windage tray, we might not even need this. Though, I did not remove the gear. This is a bit pricey, so, I kinda want to be sure I need it.

hey PTP, get this done and I'll buy it right away lol!

[Murse]

looks like phillyb has a new bong to try

Its to cut down on the oil contaimination in the intake manifold. Trust me we have seen more then our fair share of gunk in the intake now. The stock system (CCV) pretty much sucks big **** and has its fair share of problems.

OK, drip. I have yet to find an affordable drain or valve that will not drip after sitting in a jig for 2 weeks.

These are not for a track car, if you need a CC for a track car contact me. We can build CC's that support up to 4 gallon tanks (damn f-body cars).

Steel wool will separate, this is why you need to use a SS mesh (used for filter media in old style canister filters) that is designed to stop oil contamination.

Pull it off and turn it over.

Yes, or you can pull the fittings off (banjo bolts are very easy to remove) and suck the oil out.

See the 2 studs across the CC top, that is where we will bolt the braket to. I will have to make changes to the design if that is going to be in the way now, so yes it should fit.

I will keep you updated if its needed. Thanks.

Will do, thanks.
