Oil Catch Can

[luvpsi]

Yeah that's what I mean by divided by steel wool but I wouldn't plumb mine back to sump as I'd be worried about little bits of steel wool running back into sump

[The Bogan]

Baffles are the way to go if you can, steel wool will need to be cleaned which would be a lot harder than throwing in some diesel in a baffled one and shaking.

I've heared about putting the wool in a stocking but I'm not sure how it will hold up against heat and hydrocarbons.

With 2 Baffles the flow will change direction about 4 or 5 times which should scrub a fair bit of oil.

A cheap can is false savings if for a extra hundred or so you could get one which actually has some engineering behind it and not just made to look shiny with a sticker and make some company lots of money selling them to the public.

I'm getting a custom one made for myself I have decided. Would it work if I had 2 inlets and 1 outlet so each cam cover go to a inlet and then the outlet goes back to intake as I reckon a T between the 2 covers looks tacky

[The Bogan]

Would depend on a few things,how much flow you have, if the single outlet is causing a restriction

[luvpsi]

Not at the moment it's still stock recirc system on rb25 I was more talking about for looks but the better it breaths the better yeah

[kosmo90]

There's a restrictor in my outlet line, should I put that in the new catch can setup or leave it out?

[luvpsi]

I'd say leave it out didn't know there was a restrictor in the lines

Here's a pic showing internal baffling: http://www.saikoumic...explanation.htm I also asked him what the baffling was made of and he replied with "The mesh material is a filament type stainless, so it has little flat surfaces to help condense fumes. The Internal assembly consists of stainless wire discs that sandwich the material".

I purchased one and build quality is great, also he can make them to request with different sized tube nipples, fittings etc.

I thought the price was reasonable for what you get and delivery time frame was pretty good (arrived within 2 weeks). I think he had one ready to go though, if you make a special order it may take longer. Postage cost was $30USD.

If anyone wants more pics let me know.

Ive got a custom one getting made with baffles etc

[zebra]

all very well, but the biggest one is only 750ml

design looks ok, but not big enough

good for gran turismo/fast and the furious kids who want to say they have a stage 3 catch can fitted

edit - actually...will have less that 750ml due to all the shit inside

[luvpsi]

Haha I just mine measured up and getting made it's sits behind my head light (this is on a Vl btw) has 2 inlets one from each breather and 1 outlet with internal baffles for 240 delivered the air/ oil vapor come in the bottom with similar baffles the the one just linked and air comes out the top

[Bushy]

How strict are they on the 2L rule? If anyone was interested could always ask him if he'll make one bigger.

I'll never get caught calling it a "stage 3 catch can", I'm not really aiming for maximum wank factor

oh yeah brain fade. Thanks. The colouring and font style is too busy haha

[zebra]

haha yeah tell me about it...I won't buy anything off them because they a) use "stages" and b) use "4" instead of "for"

[JustinP]

Using numbers in place of words is fully gangsta, isn't that a plus?

But seriously I might order one. It's cheap, looks well made and it looks properly baffled, and I'm sure CAM's scruitineers wouldn't pickupon it being under 2L would they?

if you plumb it back into the intake you will be fine
