Catch Can

[sealandsky]

Following up on my post "Big Jerk" I'd like to get input as to what the best Catch Can is for my 6.2 boosted Yukon? Anybody out there using them? Good, bad or indifferent?

Mishimoto, I have a 9oz universal. I am not boosted just make sure you empty it every oil change or you will have bad things happen!

@Rocket Man has a custom catch can if I’m not mistaken.

from other forums, these recommended for boosted applications:
(supposedly needs check valve when boosted)

RX
elite engineering E2-x
Mighty Mouse boosted can
Norris
CP

I bought www.teamrxp.com. I like the 2 can system with a small can for the clean side. Important on boosted engines. I've seen many Ford owners opting for this on their turbo Fords. It is not cheap but if it protects the engine its cheap insurance. It took a month to get but is a very nice kit with all the factory connectors.

Running a Mighty Mouse Wild on my 6.2, works great, easy install.

Have them on my hellcats, Z06 and ZR1, my hellcat track car needs it for sure, the other 3 have not had any oil in the cans, not planninhg on adding one to my callaway tahoe at this time

Hi Carl - Have you checked the condition of your throttle body on your Tahoe?

 

[hcvone]

Yes Rich I did at 4k miles, it was clean, I only put 4k on the tahoe in a year, got too many cars. I would check with Callaway, and or your dealership because I know some hellcat owners that had warranty issues from adding a catch can, but if your dealership is good with it you should be fine. I know what my dealership is good with, in fact they install many of my mods just for warranty issues, but I'm lucky because they have the best Corvette guy in the east, and he is Callaway trained

I put the Elite Engineering on on my '18 6.2L. I have one on all my other vehicles as well, and it's absolutely critical with direct injection engines. The EE unit is well made and blends into the engine bay (it's still in warranty so why call attention to a mod). I am surprised at how little it catches, maybe a 1/4 cup every 5k miles. My 5.7 Hemi will fill it up between oil changes. How much are you guys catching on other vendors? The way they are constructed definitely will affect their removal efficiency.

On 2018 Yukon 5.3 UPR can was catching ±1-2 Oz every 1000 miles, no frosty milky stuff but oil with minimal gas in it. I think UPR really thinks hard about their design and keeping can really hot. 4-chamber UPR can was very effective. however, there are tests showing that RX cans catching a bit more. As far as Elite can, they are three chamber design and have a solid following among Direct Engine owners but I never saw a comparison between Elite and UPR and RX. If you find one, please share here.

I got the same catch can but have 0 instruction on how to install it. Do you have a walkthrough? Pretty ridiculous that there’s no instructions to this expensive catch can.

rxp has 'instruction' link on their site

http://teamrxp.com/p/instructions

i havent looked at vids listed.... do they not help?
seems odd they wouldnt provide instructions w/ kit. maybe email/call them?

 

[Subanbur]

I watched this video

I understand up to the point where he says “ drilling under the throttle body” @ 2:59 Mark. I’m really not game to drill into a brand new throttle body. Other instructional videos are for the Ford ecoboost

Using a JLT on my 5.3, it's a nicely made kit and has been working well.
