Catch Can disappointment pics inside

[ivin74]

Could be the location of the hoses. I believe the incoming air/oil mixture should be going into the tank and the filtered air should be exiting the can through baffle/filter media and out the top. JMO

Thats how its hooked up

Ok. Had to go earlier and didn't get a chance to type out as much as I wanted.

That's the can I have. It's packed with a bunch of steel wool in a condenser pocket. Biggest thing with these, is you want to mount them somewhere cool. They rely on condensation to catch the stuff and will work more effectively at lower temperatures

My catch can is located in fender well, should be kept pretty cool I would think

dub got stuck in the wormhole... lol

Great video, I'm amazed of how much stuff still goes thru the first catch can.

Yeah that's a pretty wild difference

I looked into them as an upgrade to mine, but from what I've found they've changed their manufacturing process. End caps are now glued on or something instead of tig welded and don't fare well in the cold. Pretty disappointing given the price of these units. I'll pass on that

After watching the video, does anyone know how the speed engineering one compares?

I know a few guys that run these catch cans and love them. One is an avid autocross racer and was loosing a ton of oil on his runs. Now, after using this can his system catches it all and the motor actually runs smoother and performs more crisp. I am gonna install one on my LS motor as well when I get back to the states.

The owner will work with you on your setup and actually point you in the right direction for your setup, great customer service.

After cleaning the head ports again I also replaced the screen inside the catch can. I also installed an inline fuel filter on the vent line right at the intake manifold. I made sure I had a clear filter so I can see if oil starts to seep up the vent line again. I guess time will tell it this works.

Update
It's been appx 4000 miles since I installed the fuel filter and the results are in. The oil is still seeping up the hose to the intake manifold (see pics). The good thing is that the gas filter did its job, it kept the oil from going thru into the intake manifold. It's time to try a new oil catch can, I'm going to order the RacerX catchcan and see how that one does.

Awesome!

I guess I could throw some relevant info in here as well. I stuffed a stainless scrubber pad in my catch can two oil changes ago (10,000 miles) and I've gotten a small, but noticeable amount more in the drain cup than before. So, that must've increased it's air scrubbing efficiency some. I wanna get a fuel filter now.

Thanks for updating!

I'm going to try the stainless pad as well and see how it goes.

I have thought about doing one, wouldn't this serve the exact same purpose? I know it's not all anodized and neat looking but you can see what it is catching or not catching.

I've heard of people using those. I don't think it looks bad at all and I like the idea of being able to see what's collected. If that works just as well or better, then I'd run one. I'd still use one of those fuel filters after the catch can like Ivan did for the extra filtration and to see what's passing the catch can.

Y'all hold up a minute! I gotta go buy some stock in 3M first...

Several weeks ago I bought the racer x fabrication oil catchcan and this past weekend I installed it, I hope this catchcan does its job. I will post and update later on the year since my Yukon is not a daily driver, it will take several months to rack up some miles.

Looks like a nice piece. Def different.

 

[ezstriper]

do they recommend mounting it that low ? most are above valve cover level

Doubie, you ever get this one?

 

[swathdiver]

Thinking about going old school with hoses vented underneath (Road Draft Tube).

no I saw this thread pop back up again, I haven't ordered anything yet my engine is under warranty I don't know if doing something like this would void that or not they have never been dick's to me like that but ya never know.

Your PCM wouldn't like the huge vacuum leak it'd see!
