Item num:

OilCAN-04

Specification:

Premium Universal Oil Catch Can

With 19mm outlet can be pointed in 4 directions

Washable Stainless steel mesh filter

Pressure Relief Valve

Suit:

Suitable for small confined engine spaces

For modern diesel turbo 4WD engines like Hilux Patrol Landcruiser and Navara

It can be made to fit any vehicle ( for up to 100Kw and small confined engine spaces )

Function

Separate air and oil vapor by using a strategy to fling heavier oil and water particles outward to the sides of the can

Pressure vent in cap to prevent over-pressure in the crank case

Vacuum limiting valve to regulate vacuum in the can

Highly adjustable mounting bracket can be swiveled 180° around can

Filter the air from your crankcase and separate harmful oil from your inlet system stops oil entering the turbo and keeps the inlet track free from sludge

Note :

The installer may need to purchase additional Hoses and fittings to fit the unit in the position the owner wishes to fit it, just like any other catch can.

Advantages:

Strong and light plastic construction

Highly efficient oil separation as a closed and an open system ( providing ideal protection for the turbocharger and other components installed downstream )

Low pressure loss , No electrical energy required

Less motor oil consumption in comparison ( less efficient separators or conventional open systems )

Fittings are not removed during element maintenance ( a cap at the top allows full access inside w/o disconnecting a single hose )

WHAT’S A CATCH CAN DO?

Why do you install an oil catch can?

All turbocharged cars experience oil blowby when under boost. It’s just the fact of the matter – even brand new, your turbo car’s going to have oil blowby if you’re heavy on the throttle.

what’s oil blowby? Why is oil blowby bad?

Blow-by is caused when a combustion in the engine forces fuel, air, and moisture past the piston rings and into the crankcase. From there, the blow-by is released by the crank case vents and back into the intake pipe. This occurs on all engines, but is worse on turbo engines due to the stronger combustion. This is bad because if nothing is done, this excess “gunk” will build up in the intake manifold, coat the intake valves, coldside of the turbo, intercooler, and intercooler chargepipes.

Check out the above illustration of how the average turbocharged motor is laid out along with a diagram of the PCV flow of a turbocharged car. So the PCV valve allows these oil blow by vapors to enter the intake tract.The fact that many turbocharged engines nowadays are direct injected – which causes the inside of the intake to get much dirtier than it did on older multipoint fuel injection systems that sprayed the fuel mist into the intake manifold, spraying down the intake runners and intake valves with a mist of gasoline, which used to keep the intake clean. Since Direct Injection style fuel injection moves the injector directly into the combustion chamber, there’s no spray of fuel on the intake valves to keep them clean, so crap accumulates on them.

Check out the yellowish green coloration to the intake area – that’s all oil.As the oil vapor collects on the walls of your intake manifold and intake valves and collects, it traps dirt and other fine particulates creating an icky sludge coating. The way the crud builds up on the insides of your intake is a lot like how your arteries can become clogged with bad cholesterol if you have a poor diet.

Much like clogged arteries will cause your body to perform badly, intake valves coated with blow-by and carbon buildup can cause the intake valves to stick or not seal as well, can negatively affect VANOS / VVTI type systems, lowers the effective octane of your fuel and generally makes performance suck – and the problem is exacerbated by higher boost levels.So, besides doing your Walnut Media Blasting every 40k or so (20k or so if you’re tuned) – what can you do to keep your motor clean and do your part for preventive maintenance? That’s where the Oil Catch Can comes in.

The solution is as simple as adding something mid-stream in the PCV line to collect the crap and oil vapors and give it somewhere to condense, before it has the chance to enter the intake manifold.

That brings us to finishing the answer for our original question – what is the benefit of an oil catch can?
Now that we’ve explained why you’d need one, we can talk about what the catch can will actually DO.

By installing an Oil Catch Can on your turbo car, you’re preventing those oil vapors from collecting on the inside of your intake manifold, helping you keep the need for media blasting intake cleaning spaced as far apart as possible. While a catch can won’t totally eliminate the need to clean the intake forever, it’ll go a long way towards keeping the intake clean for a long time, thereby allowing your engine to perform at its best for the longest period of time.
