RE: oil catch can
 

that is the exact one on my car. all you need is a few $ in fittings and hose.

RE: oil catch can
 

hmmm site has nothing to do with oil change more for a sales advert if you ask me

RE: oil catch can
 

sweet! i'm trying to find the fittings on that site but no luck guess when i go in there to buy it i'll just open the package and go around pluging stuff in to it till it fits. lol did you use just some heater hose from like NAPA? i might actually have some left over silicon that might work.

So all you have to do is cut that formed hose coming from the block and the hose steming from the turbo boost pressure regulator(black flat circle top piece) and put the catch can in between them?

RE: oil catch can
 

I use an old oil can and cut the side off ( plastic of course ) 5 litre in and 5 ltrs out or what ever quarts you use ( all it is is a catch bin )

RE: oil catch can
 

The top of the package you can easily take off and there is a large amount of fittings buy the filter but cheaper done the isle with some plumbing items.

heater hose will work fine.

homemade oil catch cans? now its converted to coolant change what are you doing??

RE: oil catch can

RE: oil catch can
 

Avant, Its to filter oil out of the crankcase breather from entering the intake and turbo. Nothing to do with oil changes or coolant.

RE: oil catch can
 

oh hell what a dip im not used to this but I understand what your talking about so ill read up on it ( watch out though im quick on the uptake ) im sure he mentioned an oil change though.

is this what people are using for the homemade oil catch cans? CincyTT? lol you have to put this in the search field 100027474

RE: oil catch can
 

i know where to hook up one of the ends but the other end is coming from what? the turbo inlet hose? or the funny looking flat top black piece(turbo boost regulator) ??? If you use the hose steming(bottom) from that piece and hook it up to the catch can...your totally by-passing that part of the turbo inlet... if you can take more pics of where you have the other end coming from that would be very helpfull.

RE: oil catch can
 

on your outlet hose you should use some sort of clear hose, that will let you be able to see if it is actually working or not, if the hose stays clear then everything is working great, if not then you may have to route your hoses a different way.

RE: oil catch can
 

oh i was planning on doing that but i still need to figure out how to hook this thing up it would be much easier if i could just go out to my car and look around (i'm sure the answer would be in front of me) i'm just getting confused when i look at CincyTT and Steves S's setups wondering which to do?

RE: oil catch can
 

Steve S re-did all his vaccum lines inorder to try to minimize how much oil would even reach the catch can, from the looks of everyone else that I have seen the are just putting that filter right before the intake and just empty it every two weeks or so.

thefilter is attached to the hose coming off the head right above it. It goes down and then towards the intake. when your actually looking at your car it will be very obvious to you. Plus get another fitting to take out the pvc piece also, there is no reason for it any more and just looks stupid there ( i say this but mine is still there).

And it should only need dumped about every month or so pending on your engine.

RE: oil catch can
 

ok but you see that flat top black circle piece right above your boost controller? thats the piece i'm talking about. do you have any side pics like where that is going? i mean on the oem setup(no catch can) that hose is coming from the intake and then goes into that black flat top piece. so....>????

RE: oil catch can
 

the flat peice is part of the pvc system. it is still attached to the intake and i need to replace that with just a 90* fitting to go into the intake. The other end is coming from the valve cover. When you go look at your car it will become obvious to you.

RE: oil catch can
 

is there anyway you can get a pic of the intake inlet and that black piece? and how you have it? cuz from the above pic i dont see how it can be attached to the inlet and hooked-up to the catch can at the same time? thanks

RE: oil catch can

RE: oil catch can

RE: oil catch can
 

glad it helped, i should of emptied it while i was out there messing with it but it was way to cold.

RE: oil catch can
 

now I see what your doing and its a good idea;)

RE: oil catch can
 

as requested.

I DARE SOMEONE TO DRINK IT!!

the battery was dying during the pic so its a little blury and im to lazy to get tools and take it apart but you can see the fittings used:
1/4" fitting threaded on both ends that goes into a 1/4" to i believe a 1/2" fitting. The hose i used is 5/8" ID hose i got from Pep Boys. (sorry no skus/ product #'s)

RE: oil catch can
 

thanks! those are the plugs i was looking for at home dept and they didnt have them so i'll be going to Lowes

RE: oil catch can
 

Do you have to add any hose for this?

RE: oil catch can
 

if im right no you dont as its cut into the PVC vent pipe which returns unburned gasses and unused oil lol back to the throttle body, this system stops oil build up in the air filter and throttle body which is a pin in the butt for logging systems up

RE: oil catch can
 

Cool! Is the filter directional? It looks to be in one of the pics and it looks like it returns to the PVC thingie?

RE: oil catch can
 

dosnt look directional I also have one on my TIG welder lol

RE: oil catch can
 

i love when people who dont know about whats going on answer other peoples questions.

1 yes you need some hose
2 yes the filter is directional
3 the oil is separated from the bypass gas before it goes back into the intake.

if there is any other questionsi'll be happy to answer.

RE: oil catch can
 

I knew that and welcome to the real world do you think we are all dips

RE: oil catch can
 

I like the 123 bit though very enhancing

RE: oil catch can
 

Really im not a total a$$ but when people jump inand give false info to noobs is uncalled for. I

Bump for the newbs...

Cincy, I know you posted pics before but they're gone... any chance you can re-post the pics of your catch can setup?

Thanks!

Subscribing for pics and part numbers. I am very interested in this mod to keep the cruddy oil out of my intake.
Thanks Cincy in advance for your help!

Since all my pics died with the new forum layout. I dont have any atm. My setup is basically:

air compressor filter
1/4" double male fitting (x2)
1/4 female with 3/8" male fitting (x2)
1/2" hose
90* brass fitting to replace the regulator.

So, after 3 trips to home depot, not realizing I only have about 5-1/2" to work with, I finally got it right after becca posted those pics. So, thanks!!!

Next time someone asks you: "Do you want me to draw you a picture?" Just say yes... it might actually help. I found something interesting though with the warning sticker on the filter. I peeled it off (it was hot!) and stuck it on a white piece of paper so it's easier to read. The picture is self explanatory.

Attachment 53907

It is true what they say then, a picture paints a 1000 words.:p

I have another question. Which Filter (brand or part number) should I get at Home depot? I skimmed through the pages and couldn't find the air compressor filter that works best in this instant.
I did a search on the Home Depot Page and found this:
http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/...ctId=100027474

It doesn't look like the one in the pictures above but it's the only Air Compressor Filter that they list on their website.

Okay, I have a question. On the pictures above. ouTTie914 is not using a 90 degree brass elbow but HawaiiTT is. Is that a different set up or is someone missing something?
