it catches the oil from crank case, which goes to intake in stock configuration.

 

so wat happen to the oil?

 

When the can gets full you drain it. The idea behind a PCV system is that oil vapors get burned up in the engine instead of just evaporating (yes, raw oil and fuel vapor is more polluting than exhaust fumes). A catch can, well, catches the oil before it passes thorugh your compressor, TB, and manifold so it can't gum things up.

 

The catch can uses interior volume and baffles to allow the oil vapors to condense and drop out of the air. It keeps internal parts of the intake path cleaner, but for high boost or re-mapped ignition advance applications, a non-diluted intake charge is less prone to detonation.

wow thanks guys, so it worth the purchase, it seems all cars should come with them

 

At one time, I thought they were just eye candy. I've since changed my mind about catch cans and plan on getting one in the future.

My only minor concern is being able to remove it easily for bi-annual smog checks in CA. Since the crankcase vapors are routed through the PCV hose, this is part of the emission controls. Even though it is not vented to atmosphere, the system has been altered.

Well, i am just interested thats why i ask questions, and if you see most of my posts are in random thoughts and the such. So for someone with only 40 posts maybe u'll understand later on.

 

also if you meant no offence foul language was not in order. I'd appreciate it, not only for me, but to other i-club members also.

 

I really don't think it matters but.... Nic3krnnamja83 you can edit previous posts to ad thoughts. You really got ragged on though and i don't know why. The nerve!!!!


Good question though.

 

I take it there are no oil catch cans that have C.A.R.B. exempt numbers so one would not have to remove the catch can every 2 years.....

if anything you posting for this is your way to post *****, you responded back. i asked a valid question which I was interested in, and obviously helps the I-club community, and yeah i should have edited but being as lazy as i am i didnt. So i guess by me helping myself, and it obvsiouly helped others to instill a thought about my topic giving them a whole new view. So I'd appreciate it, if you shut the **** up. And if you notice the posts here, people ask questions also to add and contribute to this. If you don't want to contribute to this, then we don't want your comments. I understand punkrocksailor that you need a role model and your dad beat you, but don't take it out on others. thanks.


No C.A.R.B numbers Wrxneffect, but that would be a good idea.
