Catch can

Anyone installed a catch can on their 3rd gen yet? I have a new RX catch can sitting around that I never did install on my other truck. Figured I'd throw it on over the weekend. Just curious if anyone else has done it yet, and what they used, and where they mounted it.

 

WTF is a RX catch can?

 

I don't see a need for this.

 

Don't really need a catch can on this engine considering it is direct injected and ALSO port injected. The intake valve are cleaned plenty fine by the port injection.

 

I would run a search. I know I've seen a couple guys run catch cans on their third gen

 

I pulled this from another thread.

"An oil catch can is used in turbo applications, or high-performance race applications where excessive blow-by (leakage past the piston rings) of air and fuel vapor occurs. This creates a positive pressure in the crankcase. Engine manufactures have placed a valve on the engine block which releases this pressure. This valve is known as a PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve. During engine operation, blow-by gases, as well as oil mist from the rotating components of the engine, pass through the PCV valve and are routed back into the intake for the engine to burn off. However, some of the oil mist and other products settle along the engine intake and over time form a "gunk." The oil catch can collects the oil mist and condenses the fuel vapors while allowing "cleaner" gases to be passed back into the intake. Typically the blow-by gasses are passed through a wire mesh, which give the vapor droplets something to adhere to. Since the oil catch cans condense the vapor portion of the gasses, they will need to be drained periodically of all the oil, fuel and other contaminants."

 

Still can gunk up the intake, throttle body....

 

Rev Extreme. Imo the best catch can you can buy.

Nice! I haven't read any on this motor. I didn't realize the port injection, I was just worried about coking on the valves which is typical of normal direct injection motors.

 

My Audi was direct injected but didn't have a self cleaning thing like this does. So I almost bought a catch can.. a LOT of owners did own one.

Since this engine has the self cleaning, I don't see a need for one.
