Oil Catch Cans// Worth it??

[soop]

I wouldnt be using a catch can from Supercheap. Most of them don't do much aside from divert the oily air for a brief period.

but you could add some steel wool inside it, extend the infeed line below the steel wool and then it works as well as $200 brand name catch can :thumbsup:

instead of always been negative soop, why not try been a positive person and have something nice to say

 

[soop]

Why, when you can by a catch can that does all that from the get go for roughly the same as what you will pay at supercheap???

theyre all crap they store a little bit of air pressure and a bit of oil drips in as well. unless your motor is just about stuffed from being flogged you wont see the oil burn. anyway supercheap has 20% off this saturday

For a healthy street car they are a waste of money. If you do track days and the like there may be some benefit but for the most part it's a wank.

I'll be running one but that's because the Walky throttle bodies don't have an inlet for breathers from rocker covers to hook up to! I have had screw fittings fitted to rocker covers and will run braided lines to catch can. However I will then vent into air box. To keep it legal. As ones with filters on the top are not technically legal. I am trying to look like u give a **** if it's legal lol.

and yet, look at the intake manifold of any high mileage engine and what is full off? how many threads do you see on this forum where the first response is clean the TB and IAC? a basic catch can setup within a legal PCV system eliminates this problem. car/engine manufacturers don't give a damn because these issues occur long after your 100,000km/3year warranty has run out.
