hey guys i'm about to get my car tuned but want to buy a catch can set up which one do you guys think is my best bet the the T1 race development or the endyne catch can I'm not sure but i believe thats how it's spelt lol

 

t1 is pimp, and very functional, but a little much for lower hp cars. i'll probely rep an endyne. whats your hp goal and use for the car? strickly drag?

 

Catch cans are one thing i've never really taken the time to look at....i should probably get one on my GSR sometime in the near future

 

dont feel bad i still dont rock one either

 

the t1 kit works great. if you see it on the dyno doing its job you would see why ppl use them. and you never have to drain it out. thats a big pain and one big mess

 

Can you give me a nutshell description of what they do please...just let the PCV system breathe easier under boost without drippy messes coming from the breather??

 

if you run boost it builds alot of normal blowby pressure in the crank case, and if not vented properly it causes your gaskets to start leaking fom excessive pressure and will also build up pressure stopping it from being evacuated from the cylinders causing octane degrading and oil consumption. it also stops the oil mess.
ALSO FREE"S UP POWER

it's moslty a street car and sometimes take it to the strip but mainly street and around 400whp the only problem is with the Ti the spots were the AN fittins normally go is kinda block by my full race mani

 

on the front of the valve cover i mean

 

some people run them on the backside (intake mani).

 

i may have to look into one of these systems...it might be what causes my oil consumption under boost...its not a lot, but you can tell it burns some oil after 3k miles

 

u will always have some oil lose on a motor after 3k, but if you boost alot you can loose alot. i've had to add 1 quart in 500 miles because i was beating on my car alot, highway pulls and tuning. i'm sure a catch can would of helped alot, i will be adding one over winter.

 

^^I dont feel so bad anymore...i'm on par with that when i'm hard on the car

you shouldn't be driving 3k miles in the first place with a turbo car and you drive it hard... you should be changing your oil more often than that...

and for giving all the advise you give on here, you don't even know what a catchcan does... lol

 

I was gonna run 1 fitting out of the back of the block. And 2 off of the valvecover with all 3 running to a vented catchcan. Would it be better to run 2 fittings off of the back of the block or would 1 be good.. I can make it with an fittings and steel braided line with a custom can for about 170ish..

Would this be enough and a ok setup for 600-650hp c16 and about 450hp daily??

Is'nt the TONY1 like 400 bucks??

 

for lower power ( i got away with it making 520 last year ) the endyn works well.
atleast it did for me.

the setup i did this year was a design i did, and the drainback was not sufficient enough. the T1 setup is the cats ***. because everything is there. done.

look around at the official catch can / crank case evacuation thread there is alot of great stuff in there.

 

i guess people dont realize how much pressure really is in the crankcase, and if they did, everyone would be sporting some huge hoses on the FRONT of the vc, along with a proper sized can, and perhaps a drainback.

 

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN WHAT I LISTED ABOVE VS A ENDYN or Tony1??

sorry damn caps..

 

Our's are not $400

And we can configure the amount of fittings, size of fittings, and fitting location however you want if you need something different.

 

T1

I actually think i saw the 575 setup before. So for the 250 you just get the can then you gotta buy your fittings and steel braided line, correct?

I guess the main difference in what i listed above vs the tony1 for example is just the bigger style catchcan, am i correct?

I really don't wanna relocate my battery to the rear.

I know what it does, but i've never really known much about the benefits of them. Most of the cars i see around here run without them (or they're not noticeable); therefore, i always thought they were more for emissions and never gave them a second look. Maybe you should get a backstory about things before trying to be a dick...

Yes, T1's are extremely effective. Plus, they're sexy as hell!

B & R Fittings has a similar can, minus two breather lines.
