Nice Catch Can

Post by Sabre »

It's modeled after the Element Tuning one. Original Article. Let me just point out that unless you are running a larger turbo or tracking your car often, this may be of no use to you.
I ended up buying all my parts from peterson fluid systems. I just called them on the phone and told them what I wanted.
If you want to replicate this call them and inform them of the item number and quantity. The part numbers are listed below followed by the item and quantity/length and price.
part number=blue

08-0410-BREATHER CAN,-12AN&-8AN,W/FLT-1-$97.65
200108-HOSE END,PUSH LOCK,STR,-8-1-$3.14
209012-HOSE END, PUSH LOCK,90,-12AN-1-$17.48
860008-HOSE,-8,SERIES 8600,PER FOOT-6FT-$15.48
860012-HOSE,-12,SERIES 8600,PER FOOT-6FT-$26.76

The total price of those items plus shipping was $174.00.

An oil catch can is used in turbo applications, or high-performance race applications where excessive blow-by (leakage past the piston rings) of air and fuel vapor occurs. This creates a positive pressure in the crankcase. Engine manufactures have placed a valve on the engine block which releases this pressure. This valve is known as a PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve. During engine operation, blow-by gases, as well as oil mist from the rotating components of the engine, pass through the PCV valve and are routed back into the intake for the engine to burn off. However, some of the oil mist and other products settle along the engine intake and over time form a "gunk." The oil catch can collects the oil mist and condenses the fuel vapors while allowing "cleaner" gases to be passed back into the intake. Typically the blow-by gasses are passed through a wire mesh, which give the vapor droplets something to adhere to. Since the oil catch cans condense the vapor portion of the gasses, they will need to be drained periodically of all the oil, fuel and other contaminants.

Oh, that. Yet another thing my saab has from the factory. So what's the list of things up to now? Baffled oil pan, oil cooler, catch can, and rod bearings that don't spin if you rev the engine. :lol:

lol, our oil pan is (slightly) baffled and we also have an oil cooler... the stock system just reroutes crank case by-pass products back to the intake... which is fine for stock levels ;)
