End All Crank Case Pressure and Catch Can Solution

I'm going to be building a large baffle catch can, with a 2 quart capacity or so. 4 inputs one Pcv, one valve cover, one dipstick and one off of the inspection hole.

I was going to add baffles as well and to have it vta until I found this.

Instead of vta I was thinking of using this and a check valve to burn off the oil vapor.

Has anyone done this?

The advatange to this is I won't have any oily vapor in my engine bay.


Any thoughts?

Thanks

Looks good man! Make sure you get the stainless steel one if you have a SS TBE. I think I'm going to get this attached to the DP.

LMK if you want to order one. I can get you a pretty good price.

Would you care to elaborate?

Besides it not working, what about dumping oil into your exhaust seems like a good idea? Talk about carbon build up.

The idea I had is that my catch can will still collect all of the e85 vapor(water) and most of the oil. Any vapor that would be left would get burnt off.


So it would be a small amount.

I think I'd have issues if I dumped everything in the exhaust.

Thank you for posting this up.

It looks like a 3 inch exhaust as well, if maybe a 3.5 inch would have a lower positive pressure I'm guessing.

What did you end up doing?

This is conflicting Becuase I did want to try this but this would have been a big let down if it did not work.

I was going to run it right after the last o2 sensor on the catback to avoid contamination, although I don't know if there'd be a differnce.

3.5" 321 SS

Since it has the one way check valve it is still hooked up and I rely on the turbo inlet.

You should try it and report back

Oil into the exhaust plus the possibility of having the catch can fluid run back down the dipstick is not a pleasant thought.

Not to mention how the exhaust already puts out carbon/soot, but you are going to burn oil in the exhaust creating sludge or more soot.

That's true.


It looks like this has been used for decades and works.

But your exhaust must not have any mufflers or resonators or cats.

Also the input into the exhaust should be after your wideband and o2 sensor to avoid fowling them.

It just seems like it would be a pain to clean even with a strait pipe. But I also dont know how much would build up or how long it would take to clog the port or reduce exhaust velocity.

I can almost bet this would not help pass emissions, should your state test exhaust gasses
