Im about to finish my ls vtec turbo build. Aiming for like 400-500whp. I have a oil catch can but with no filter. Will it be ok to run this catch can with that amount of power? I have a filter on my valve cover but thats it. Im running the catch can behind the block.

no, you will need a real catch and proper venting. when your in the 400 hp area, your in a whole new ballpark of parts. Do it right the 1st time and you will have minimal issues later on

So get a catch can with a filter. Would that be fine?

Also will -10 fittings n lines make a difference than just thinner heater hose?

Why don't you give us a better idea on the current setup. # of lines, line size, where are they connected. Maybe you can adapt the current setup for the higher power level.

Heater hose will become soft and swell when it comes in contact with oil for any good period of time... You need to use some type of oil resistant hose. Doenst have to be AN fittings though.

Fully built ls vtec. Darton sleeved. Like I said I'm going to

To make 400-500whp whatever the Turbo maxes out
Its a super 60 turbo. I'm running 2 lines from the back of the block. Will the -10 fittings make a difference? I can get a catch can with a filter with -10 fittings. Or should I just keep my catch can put a filter on it and just get the prelude fittings n run that?

2 -10s off the VC, -8 or -10 return to FRONT of oil pan as high as practical. Ditch the rear of the block fittings. Vented baffled can with at least 1 1.5" breather filter.

The reason I say to ditch the rear fittings is the oil slosh can lead to the can filling up and puking. Maybe not on the dyno...


BUT I know of more than a couple guys that were using the "endyn" setup that uses a Moroso baffled can. Great and adequate design. BUT utilizing the 2 passages on the back of the block, under acceleration they get blocked by slosh/pressure . It wont drain. It will puke...


I though running the return to the front of the pan would eliminate that problem. It works. Well. ANy oil compatible lines will work.

I make 759 WHP run a Moroso baffled can with 2 -10s off the VC, 1 -10 return to the front of the pan (my can is mounted on the firewall, the return cruises over the tranny cone (ALl nice and leve;/downhill to the pan) and ends up in the PS upper corner of the pan. WOrked so well, A number of my friends changed there setuos like that. Under power and acceleration, the "return" also helps to act like another breather as its not affected by the slosh moving BACK.

My car doenst so much as get oil condensation on the firewall and the filters even stay clean.
