advantage of fitting a catch can

[offitmassive]

Many thanks, u are an actual star!!! do u want paying pre or post postage??

I would have thought 16mm would be ok, your only talking half a mm to close up with a jubilee clip so be fine.

Will find out tonight if it's ok for my dad to make and I'll let you know the cost ect but just p&p would be fine mate as I say I'll say it's for me and he'll make it in ten minutes

Yeah looks ok, I tbh have just used silicone hose, I contacted ap motorstore on eBay and they said the silicone hose they sell would be fine for contact with oil, I will keep an eye on it, wanted it to match my other black forge hoses, ap motorstore on eBay mate!

yeh id already come across them, whats p&p costs as cant see it on there?? hose is only £8.29 a metre or so

 

[Captain Cupra]

Think it was free p&p mate tbh it was the price per meter so if you wanted three meters you need to select in quantity 3 for 3m ect ect, is good quality stuff I thought.

is that a toyo sports can off the bay???

 

[bogdan_wrc]

anybody opened a catch can? is it empty inside or does it have a metal wall..or a metal sponge?

 

[Pyro]

Some have filters some don't mate depends how much you spend

 

[bogdan_wrc]

I have one which is custom made (smaller, to fit the crowded space from my engine bay) and its empty inside. And sometimes I have a blue smoke from my exhaust when in engine brake...so i thought it could be from this fact...

 

[dtmwelburn]

Mines empty inside but i only spent £25 on it

 

[RobDon]

If your catch can is just an empty box inside then it is doing nothing. It needs some sort of plate or baffling to slow the air down enough to allow the oil/moisture to drop out of the air and be collected. That's why a proper catch can will have yellowy gunk in the bottom of it, moisture and oil has been separated from the air.

 

[bogdan_wrc]

Thank RobDon, thats what I have heard also...and that is why I was asking the question...because I know that the ones which are good value for money have either a wall/plate or a metal sponge inside.
But is it normal to see oil in the intake hose if the catch can is empty? Because this oil goes into the intake, and is burnt by turbo and that should explain the blue smoke on my back.

 

[Pyro]

Mine separates and it has not filter it fills up nicely

 

[Ape]

Mine has a very thin layer in the bottom but not of sludge / mayo. I never do short runs with it though to be honest and it does VTA as well.
