Register or Log In now! As many of you know, we have this dumb thing on our car called the PCV Valve. It is stupid, fails often, and causes numerous different issues when it goes bad ranging from loss of boost to whistling noises to poor idle speeds etc All the while, never really doing the job it was intended for.
Here is said PCV: For a little info on what we are dealing with here: The blowby vapors that end up in an engine's crankcase contain moisture as well as combustion byproducts and unburned fuel vapors.
The crankcase is sealed to prevent the escape of these gases into the atmosphere, but the vapors must be removed to prevent oil contamination that leads to sludge formation. The positive crankcase ventilation PCV system siphons these vapors from the crankcase and routes them into the intake manifold so they can be reburned in the engine. A hose connects the PCV valve to the intake manifold.
The PCV valve is a spring-loaded valve with a specific orifice size designed to restrict the amount of air that's siphoned from the crankcase into the intake manifold. This is necessary because air drawn through the valve from the crankcase has a leaning effect on the fuel mixture much the same as a vacuum leak.
So air flow through the valve must be controlled within certain limits. At idle, air flow is reduced because little blowby is produced.
When the engine is cruising and vacuum is high airflow through the PCV valve is at a maximum to purge the blowby vapors from the crankcase. Sounds great, but it's stupid. It causes carbon deposits on the valves, and just is not efficient, along with many, many recorded failures by nearly everyone.
Possible symptoms caused by a faulty PCV include but are not limited to: -Slight drop in boost pressure, ie. There may also be some oil on the bottom side of the engine cover, where the oil filler cap is be some oil on the bottom side of the engine cover, where the oil filler cap is.
Easiest way to check if yours is bad is to remove this: Once that is removed, try blowing into the flexible pipe. You should not be able to blow through this. If you can, you have to make a choice of three options. Look at your catch can options. Sounds great, right? This should only be temporary. Reason being, it is sealing the issues caused by a broken PCV, but also allowing everything that should be filtered out back into the engine to turn into sludge. Sure, use this as a cheap fix while you save for a catch can, but don't keep it forever.
The Catch Can Catch cans consist of metal construction that won't break with age. They catch harmful moisture and groooooss oil deposits instead of returning it into the engine to be burnt into carbon deposits.
It also seals any places left for our precious boost to escape. There are two main types of Catch Cans. The closed-system, and the vent-to-air system. Both have their benefits, but only one is street legal. Vent-to-air systems do just that. Vent all the nasties straight into the air. Mostly used in racing applications. It is bad for the environment, and can really make a mess. This is probably the best system for your car, but not really the one you should go with.
This is the most likely system for our cars. There are many, many options for a catch can setup for our cars. You can even do custom setups from many ebay type options. There are also many full kits comprised of everything you need, which are the options I will lay out before you, in no specific order. BSH is probably one of the more widely known companies for catch cans for our system.
They have products ranging from just a block off plate that you can use with any catch can system, to stage 2 and even a racing staged version. Stage 2 is the most viable solution at this point. Very simple, yet effective. Look no further than Eurojet's option.
PROS: Look how fancy it is! Combines catch can technology AND vent-to-air in one system confirm? Ultimate is a strong word. Claiming that your latest creation is "the ultimate" of anything gives the word even more power.
It takes some serious confidence and a gross lack of modesty to advertise a product as the best there ever was, is, and will be. Built to function, the 42DD ultimate can accomplishes the fundamental job of an oil catch can without any additional thought or modification.
Inside, four filter screens create a maze for the PCV gases to navigate allowing oil droplets to collect as lighter gasses pass. Gravity lends a hand, collecting the oil and gunk at the bottom of the can.
A bottom drain allows the can to be drained at any time. Beyond the basics, the ultimate can offers an industrial look and features found nowhere else. A built-in dipstick, sealed with a viton o-ring, allows you to check the fluid level of your tank at any time. The 2-piece design of the 42DD oil catch can allows the inlet and outlet fittings to point in 6 different directions for installation in any engine bay.
The lid offers 6 mounting points, ready to accept a mounting bracket at any rotation of the catch can. Included with the ultimate can are two cnc machined mounting brackets. One bracket allows for the can to be bolted to a horizontal surface.
The other allows for the can to be bolted to a vertical surface. Both brackets can be flipped, modified, or even bolted together if necessary. Complete breather kit for the 1. Neatly replaces the relay cluster mounted on the drivers side fire wall adjacent to where the engine harness comes over the firewall , a direct bolt in no modifications required.
Note: Vehicles running catch cans in below freezing temperatures are advised to remove the catch can during winter months to avoid freeze-up issues. Race cars that need to run catch cans in freezing conditions should take extra steps to prevent freeze-up such as an electric heater or cleaning out the system regularly.
