You be the judge. This is a shot of a runner on my Skunk2 intake manifold, ported by E**yn, which was on my B20/B17 for about 10,000 miles.

 

And how does it look without catch can?

 

Mike, which catch-can set up are you running.
The full Endyn one, or just a Moroso and PVC deal?

Looks great for that many miles. ed

 

I am running the Endyn/Moroso setup, but I ditched their shitty PCV valve they include with the kit, and I am using 17130-PM6-G01 (OEM GSR part number).

I drain the catch can every 500 miles or so. Get a few teaspoons of oil if I drive the car hard. If I am just driving like a normal, law-abiding citizen, then it gets maaaybe 1 teaspoon in 500-600 miles.

 

can you show where you mounted it and how you did the install? thanks where is a good place to put it on an integra engine bay

 

Mike K,

Do you think this is a worthwhile addition to a totally street Type-R? My understanding is that it keeps evaporated oil from getting sucked back in through the intake manifold.

Also would love to see some install pics; hell maybe someone could do a tutorial for morons like me

 

..... Mike K:

can you also put on a pink ballerina outfit with a fuzzy bunny tail and take pics of you painting a tree purple and orange?

Thanks!

J/K, btw.....

Also light it on fire

 

AssPenny means: Light your fuzzy bunny tail on fire.

 

Well, mine is 98% street, and it has been to the drag strip a few times but thats about it. So yes, it's a good street mod.

I have a pic of my engine bay in another thread. I removed the bracket that holds the engine wiring harness onto the passenger side strut tower, and i mounted the catch can there. Perfect spacing fo the bolts and everything.

 

Where can I purchase the Endyne modified Moroso oil catch can set-up? I know they are about $150, but I can't find a place to purchase it.

Mike how about getting a cusco catch can and putting a pcv valve inline with it on it's way to the intake manifold. It's pretty much the same thing as the endyn one but not integrated into the catchcan right?

The reason I ask this is I'm a little confused on how one would hookup a catch can on a motor without a pcv system. For example a B20 motor that does not have the pcv but it has only the pcv valve in the valve cover. From the PCV Valve which is in the valve cover it goes directly to the manifold so let's say you put the vtec head on the B20, would you run the lines from the valve cover TO the cusco catch can and put a pcv valve inline to the catchcan then FROM the catch can goto the intake manifold?


Let me know.

There are fittings available directly from Endyn(or they come with the kit), and they replace the large hex plugs on the back of the block.

What you can do on an B16A, B17A, B18C, or 90-95 B18B is simple:
use an extra rubber grommet that comes with the Endyn kit(the one that goes on top of the catch can), remove your block breather box, as put this grommet in the hole where the box was, and use Hylomar sealant. You can get a tube at the Jaguar dealership. This will keep the grommet from popping out.
Then plug one of the two openings on the side of the catch can. Run 1 line from the hylomar'd grommet to the side of the catch can, then put the PCV valve on top of the catch can. From the PCV valve, route the other hose to your intake manifold. Thats it!

 

How often are you supposed to drain the catch can???

 

Why don't more people install the catch-can so that it drains back into the blocK? is it just a PITA, or is there another reason? Is the condensed oil vapor that collects in the can contaminated to a point where you don't want it back in the block?

My plan is to eventually relocate the battery to the rear, then install a remote oil filter and the catch-can on the firewall where the battery was. I imagine that would be a sufficient spot to enable the can to drain on its own. Any thoughts?

 

I personally think the catch can will work better if it DIDN'T drain back into the block. The reason being is because the catch can draining back into the block would not allow the PCV valve to operate properly since it requires vacuum from the intake manifold to open the valve. It seems to me that the vacuum would not be sufficient enough to open the valve since there is another source (ie. drain tube) that it can draw from.

It really isn't a problem to drain the oil catch can. I drain mine when I change my oil (every 3,000 miles).

 

pretty easy huh? the stock can on a gsr looks impossible to get to unless you removed the intake manifold or had the engine out....what can a lazy **** do then? i was thinking of doing the old way (classic style)

 

Well, I forget how it is on a stock GSR, but I would think that once you get the intake manifold bracket loose, you can take the breather box out from the bottom of the car.

I didn't feel like feeding it back to drain into the block. I don't mind manually draining it periodically.

 

hmm... when installing my dohc in my EK hatch, my father and i, came up with idea to just run hose from top of valve cover to the little round catch can that was allready on firewall on passenger side! dont know what went to it before, but i do know i dont have that ****y old sewt oil stuff going into my intake and into my t.b.! any thoughts on this? thanks, eric

 

I think you may be talking about the evaporator canister (black canister with a couple of hoses attached).

 

Please forgive my ignorance, but what does a catch can do?

I've heard part this mentioned quite a bit, but I never figured out what its job is.

 

go the pyromasters link on this post. that might help

mike

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the hose coming off the valve cover isn't where you would connect a catch can. Right?

 

Wrong, you connect it to the PCV and the other end to the intake manifold.
