I have installed UPR Deluxe catch cans on day #1, on all of my new Hemis. The UPR does a perfect job in keeping oil out of the throttle bodies and intakes. I even pull the can-to-intake hose occasionally to check for oil. I Q-tip the inside of the hoses, and they come out clean. I am a firm believer that catch cans are worth the cost, if I want to keep power robbing oil out of the intake systems.
Excellent explanation on how Catch Can/Air-Oil Separator works, and most importantly how increasing the efficiency of the System [for both Clean & Dirty sides] helps, specially for a boosted engine. Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thanks!
a catch can works so differently depending on temperature, these new cars try and heat the cats up quick. Go into sub freezing temps all that extra fuel is pushed in and past the rings into the crankcase. Without the can the oil level raises and dilutes the oil with fuel unless engine operating temps are stabilized and can vaporize the fuel.. unless your in a warm climate it's not a big deal but in a colder region its an issue on all vehicals...(Thats why I use Amsoil Sig series) Just for the added protection. I dump my can once a week when its -20/30c and is a pain in the ass. Even having a bottom drain most of the time there's so much condensation built up its frozen water at the bottom and wont drain.. But yeah it 's worth it, as Bretton says. older motors ect... for me without the can the oil level would rise unless I hit the highway long enough for the gas in the oil to vaporize and be burned off. lesson 101 on cans.. USE THEM!! They work! Gawd I need to move to the south!
I mean I guess, you can’t see anything he is pointing at and he is proving why you do need one despite the title of the video. Ahhhhh Clickbait your my only friend hahaha
Thank you for taking the time to explaining a little more in depth about what to look for in a catch can. I have a 2000 Ford 7.3L diesel and getting oil back in the intake and throughout the inner-cooler and its pipping is always a big problem. Mishimoto makes a catch can for my truck, but I feel like the media element is to thin to work effectively. That being said if there was anymore information that you could give about catch cans, possibly touching on how thick a media should be to be effective for a specific application might be a good idea. Thanks again for being a true inspiration and shout out to your production team who can also use some love!
ProVent 200, keep the hoses large, it needs the volume, filter element is thin, thats ok, not the cheap china metal screen ones though they dont do the job,
Did you end up going with the Mishimoto high flow? I believe that's the only one thats made with a 1 inch line for the flow from all of my research. Its quite pricey so I was thinking of using 2 less expensive one's with around a 3/8 hoses on each, hoping I can achieve that higher flow with minimal restriction. At least that's what made sense to me in my head lol any input from anyone would also be helpful?
Just vent it to the atmosphere and say the hell with it. todays technology these problems should be addressed at manufacturing. if they do not care then screw it . put it out in the atmosphere. it can not be any worse then diesel smoke or fumes out in the atmosphere.
I've seen other videos where there was a good amount of water that was caught in the catch can (water being a byproduct of combustion). This seams like a good thing also, but i live in the north with freezing temps. Will the water freeze inside the filter media and prevent PCV breathing altogether?!
I have a friend who installed a catch can (Cheap Catch Can with no filter in it from what I remember) The condensation froze in the plumbing/ Tubing so badly that it completely blocked the breathing of the engine causing oil to seep out of the valve cover, Exhaust system, Intake pretty much where ever the pressure could possibly leave, It was a total mess he removed it and had no problems after. I do like the idea of catch cans but like you I live where it can get pretty cold and it makes me very skeptical on using catch cans. Have to do more research on it before I can decide. All I can say is be careful living in colder climates with it, If the car starts to smoke like it's on fire trough the exhaust system and misfiring because it's eating its own oil the catch can could be the issue.
@@tyrel7185 I see what you mean, pretty slick to keep it close to heat. My concern is on start up though, when you have the extra pressure and when the crank seal tends to burst. No time for the ice to freeze from the engine. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Do you have any setups like that for a Stinger GT2? I want to install an oil catch can but I'm worried about pressure building up in the crankcase so for the time being i decided to hold off.
I have a BT on my Scat Pack. It collects a significant amount of oil vapor but enough gets through to put a sticky coating on the intake runners and the back of the intake valves. My 5.7L Ram has 180K miles no catch can and runs like new. So, I'm not sure how much good the catch can does but it sure doesn't hurt and I feel better knowing some of the crap isn't getting to the combustion chamber. Thanks for the great video. I'll save this link for next time the catch can discussion comes up on the Challengertalk forum.
Thank you for the way you explain, i really enjoy and listen to you carefully and understand everything that i had doubts about, and i also own a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT 6.1 so i LOVVE these cars

Hello, I have a 2019 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye and after having a Mighty Mouse Catch Can installed. I am getting a P2C90 Code which is giving me the following: CRANKCASE VENTILATION HOSE DISCONNECTED OR LEAKING CRANKCASE PRESSURE SENSOR NOT FULLY SEATED CRANKCASE VENTILATION HOSE CRANKCASE PRESSURE SENSOR Now I have gone through and checked all of my fitting and I am not leaking anywhere. I have taken to my car back to my installer, and he states all is well. I have taken it to Dodge, and they state all senser are working well. So, what is the fix with The Mighty Mouse System. Because now that I look into it, it may not be a good thing for a Hellcat, as in a Catch Can Breather System. Please advise, as my knowledge is low, and I don't know what the correct thing is to do. Thank you.
Blow by crankcase air with contaminants being re-introduced to the clean air intake. Can you hear yourself? Mixing contaminated air into your super metered air-fuel ratio that is to give you the best achievable closest to 100% burn. So now you lower your best achievable burn making more harmful emissions lowering MPG, HP. Greatly reducing the overall performance of the engine. Then compounding the contaminants of the blow-by with each cycle. Rather than simply capturing it and filtering the air before it is returned to the atmosphere and then emptying the can with the regular oil filter change and maintenance schedule. Simply unbelievable. No more carbon buildup on the valves of DGI engines. Only the government would approve an overly complicated expensive failed science project.
Explanations aren’t very good, you’re all over the place without providing foundation. And you don’t know when EGR was introduced “60s 50s maybe earlier” haha.
What about the hose coming off the valve cover going to the intake tube,can you put a breather on the valve cover and block off the port on the intake tube?, ☮️
Lost me @ 13:33 - Naturally aspirated doesn't really need a catch can? - WRONG. Read the SAE papers..GDI motors benefit dramatically from installation. Stops the oil from collecting on valves and creating misfire...plus LSPI.
Excellent explanation of something I have wondered about for years. Ever since buying a BT catchcan for my old 6.1 SRT 300. I have to admit I am always surprised by the amount of oil it contains on the rare occasions that I remember to empty it!
Hold up, Why would clean need air be introduced INTO the crank case? As you stated at the start, is this a hellcat engine thing? also HOW are you getting 1 side of the engine to PULL air in, while the other is pushing air out. Generally your right, The engine is mostly under positive pressure pushing those blow by gasses out. and they need to go somewhere, so its sent out too the intake or the turbo or SC or watever, there would be vacuum situation also, under idle most probably. this is normally controlled by having one way check valves on the hoses that connect the crank cases to the intakes. (aka PCV valve) im jus confused as to why and how the clean intake air (which isnt under any more pressure than atmosphere, since its source is before any kind of compression, if anything its vacuum, as its trying to be sucked INTO the intake), would be pulled into one side of the engine, and sent down to the crank, and out through to the other side. is there some wild check valve only allowing pressure crankcase pressure to escape to the left side of the engine?
Let's say your CC is 4-5 yrs old.How would you go about cleaning and maintaining the system?Eventually the check valves and filtering media will need to be cleaned wouldn't it?
I keep learning more and more from these great presentations. Can you tell me if you also do the evans waterless radiator flush, am ordering a redeye the end of march of 22 and its going to be in your area at drop top customs for three weeks and would like to have it shipped over for that and a stage 4 conversion . Thanks.
Your detailed explanation is so good. Subscribed! I have installed a BT catch can on my 5.7 Charger. All good. It's catching oil. Now, I'm looking for a catch can for my wife's Audi with 2.0T. All the catch cans that I find for that car is replacing the original oil separator. The line after catch can is routed back into the engine instead of Intake Manifold. I don't understand why we even need to catch oil in that case. A few people are complaining that the can fills very quickly. The catch can manufacturers must have their reasons to make them this way... But what do you think will be wrong if I just install a universal one on the line between oil separator and intake manifold?
Made a vid as proof of how much blow by there is about 1k miles after emptying it after a oil change. 2020 scat. ruclips.net/video/qU-WlT8KXMg/видео.html Logic: full catch can is 3/4 filled 1/3 of a can full per 1k miles-ish Translates into 6 Oz per 3k miles So 24 Oz in a year of driving. Not sure I have a base line of what's acceptable for blowby so I'm kinda guessing here, but on a N/A is definitely something. I'd install one. I'd like more info on separation of the clean and dirty side on a 392. I'm not sure it possible?
You don’t want any oil entering the intake charge. We rarely get anything aside from Hellcat based vehicles so we probably aren’t qualified to answer your question knowledgeably
I like the explanation but when your pointing wish I could see better what your pointing to. But you are talking about upgrading whish is the opposite of the title. But thumbs up for letting me know.
Got one on my Direct Injected engine, you wouldn't believe the amount of oil and WATER it pulls out... All that crap goes straight into your intake if you don't have it, just look at all the trashed V.W. out there. 100% recommend
lol funny thing is he didnt need to do this video. you can look at their can vs the stock one and tell something different and its probably better than the standard catch can. i know nothing about cars btw :)
You guy's think of everything 😅. Keep it clean baby. Also stop calling the office for some bullshit questions, dude's got work to do!! LoL. (Forza C.S. "go check the video we just put up, goodbye") Thanks for the explanation video y'all.
Great video keep up the awesome work. And great explanation & your catch can is fire wish y’all sold those for Scatpack but great video awesome continent God Bless
I always thought the clean side hose was the one were the pcv gas came thru. Nearly put the catch can on the wrong godamn side. Thanks a lot and appreciate u guys for clearing this up.
now i know all car engineers like all of them all stooped like MB, PORSCHE,AUDI,CRYSLER EVEN ROLLS ROYS NO ONE FIGURE THAT THEY NEED INSTALL SIMPLE OIL CATCH CANS LOL OMG!!!
First of all, the modem days engine oil separator already take count of the oil separate capability. If you wants to add additional capability to reduce the oil pull over, any catch can would do the job. The whole ideal is to add the volume to the system to so the oil droplets to drop off instead of circulation back to the intake.
Awesome quality video the only thing that peeved me off is take 2 steps forward and show inside the actual engine bay and be great to inside the different cans
a catchcan can do harm to your engine. if the oil water mixture in the can freezes. no air can go through the hoses and the crankcase cant let the gases out. and somewhen something will explode.
They really should add them to all high performance applications at the factory, but isn't absolutely 100% necessary and is just a really good precaution though. I've got a top-quality one on the 6.1 in my Challenger, and amazes me how much builds up in between oil changes
What? You have air going into the engine through the valve cover? That wild! I have air coming out of the engine Through the valve covers. For Every vehicle i've owned since 1984. Like....30 Ford chevy dodge Shovelhead Evo twin cams. I knew those hellcats were cool but I had no idea how unique they were.
If you have Direct Injection (and no additional port injectors) GET AN OIL CATCH CAN!. I put a Cork Sport OCC on my 2019 MAZA CX-5 (2.5 L. turbo.) At 7,000 miles I drained 1/2 cup of nasty brown liquid from my catch can. SO happy that crap didn't go through my engine! ** Even so I'll have my dealer clean the intake valves at 50,000 miles with BG brand cleaner fluid.
-- Great presentation. Question, and probably a cringe one: 2004 Chevy Tahoe 5.3L What's to stop me from sealing the intake manifold, hose for drool down utterly gutting the PVC system? - Rather than using a separator?
I have a 2018 Chevrolet impala premier 3.6l v6 vvt engine. My question is would a catch can be adequate for this engine.? Engine has 75,000 miles on it had a intake cleaning about a year and a half ago. My vehicle is well maintained change my oil full synthetic every 4,000 miles
I installed a UPR dual valve system(3 connections) on my 2013 F150 D.I. with Ecoboost , about 8 years ago, and every 1000 miles I get about 1/2 liter of what separates out to be Water, Sludge, and oil gas mix on the top. It removes enough water that I no longer get the intercooler slug of water I did at first and stopped the "puking" under load that the early units had. (nothing like pulling out to pass and losing power due to a water slug from intercooler) Forza's advice on a catch can on any D.I. engine is spot on. I just bought a 2013 Lincoln MKZ D.I. with ecoboost (16,000 miles, like new) ad am looking for a dual valve unit for that or for it's twin the Ford Fusion. Might have to cobble one together. My can is over a quart, and these oil/air separators would need to be emptied weekly , at least, with those 2 oz cans.
Great informative vid, could u plz make a vid about LT4 superchargered engine that comes in Camaro ZL1 and CT5-V BLACKWING, What should, and shouldnt do regarding catch cans. This would be a huge help. Thanks alot
Great video. One question I have. 22 Hellcat challenger 6.2 ltr. Would running a CFM crank case ventilator be useless? I ordered it before I had watched your video. And you seem pretty clear that the 6.2 hemi doesn’t have a positive pressure issue even one of your extreme boost. So please clarify for me should I send this back of the company or would it hurt anything by running it anyway
Would say this video is correct... On our boosted application we have a breather catch can rated for high pressure, our NA has a can for regular crank case pressures and I only use them on the "dirty" side as the clean side shows nothing as tested by the many on forums for those applications if I am in error I wouldn't mind a reply...Thanks
I have a 2010 BMW X5M S63 4.4 engine twin turbo with Oil Separators in each valve cover. The oil separator on the passenger side is faulty. BMW quoted $2K to replace. Can I put an oil catch can inline, between the outside of the valve cover and the air intake? I get a plume of smoke only after idling for about 5 minutes, otherwise, no smoke.
I have regular 25$ can on 2022 Mdx and it does catch oil. So you don’t need turbo or super charged engin. I bought it brand new and it does still catch oil. Some miss information You don’t need expensive can. but also some good info thx
Most vehicles from the early 60s and before did not use a PCV system. They just had a tube dropping out under the vehicle to vent the crankcase to the atmosphere. Dirty yes. Smog in cities yes. I call them "Barf tubes"
I have it on my 392 6.4 . I don't understand why wouldn't u use it due it does it's job and catching nasty oil fumes what settles as oil or whatever it is . It's really nasty. Absolutely worth it to have it.
Can you help explain how I could hook one up to my trailblazer. I think mines a little different … should I just install it on the valve cover and then to the reservoir that connects to it? I had a good amount of oil in the reservoir and my TB gets dirty quick
Thing is that on an $80k car, supercharged, turbo charged, etc. than they would have a catch can/similar system, if the engineers concluded A. that they are necessary and B. cost-effective. So why is it that these types of cars don't already have such a system in the first place?
Very informative,l will be purchasing a 2023 c8 corvette, was thinking about installing one (a catch can) but if it’s going to be of no real benefit don’t want to be throwing money away either, your thoughts? Thanks Eric Brake
Man I want one of those big FORZA banners for my garage!!! Hahaha. This channel has the BEST info on Hellcats and Mopar on RUclips IMO. I’m addicted to this channel. Keep up the Great work Brent I have learned so much from watching your videos and being a gear head myself I can’t get enough of the videos. I would Love to visit that shop one day with my Redeye. 🙏🏻
Best explanation yet. My question is, i have a 2014 3.5l eco, and do i need worry about having a can both sides. some say no, some say yes. From what your saying CCV side is fine, in my case, without a second can. Thanxs, best video on cans, Nice
Always use a catch can if you rev your engine over 6000 rpm, oil and blow by vaporize and will go into the engine otherwise. Forced induction could cause that stuff to burn before it even gets to the cylinder. Catch can is the way to go! Great video, so much information here!
@@XxCrazedEvolutionXx I’ve been running one on the clean side to test if necessary. Results after 10,000 miles and multiple 6300 rpm pulls, NOT NECESSARY to have catch can on clean side. My motor has stock ring gap though and it is a very clean 70k motor so if big ring gap is used it still may be necessary but I’ll find that out later. No detrimental effects of running catch can on both sides of engine for NA.
That's why the stuff that comes out of that catch can is a volatile mix of fuel and oil and combustion gases, along with some condensation/water. I don't care to be reburning that mix.
I have installed UPR Deluxe catch cans on day #1, on all of my new Hemis. The UPR does a perfect job in keeping oil out of the throttle bodies and intakes. I even pull the can-to-intake hose occasionally to check for oil. I Q-tip the inside of the hoses, and they come out clean.

I ordered the upr catch can for my 6.2 gmc denali its just the normal one do u think thats good enough?
Man that cameraman kept that 6 feet! Wish could see the engine bay closer as you were pointing.

Check the can more often in cold weather and dump it out. You could also add a little antifreeze to the can.
Mount the can close to/slightly behind the engine. In cold weather warm the engine for 4/5 minutes and the catch can will be warm under the hood.

I'm getting ready to do a 4200 Atlas and this gave me enough information to make it right.
🤤
I like the explanation but when your pointing wish I could see better what your pointing to. But you are talking about upgrading whish is the opposite of the title. But thumbs up for letting me know.
NA doesn't really need this? Lol he's never owned a chevy equinox. 😂
Got one on my Direct Injected engine, you wouldn't believe the amount of oil and WATER it pulls out... All that crap goes straight into your intake if you don't have it, just look at all the trashed V.W. out there. 100% recommend
😮Catch cans with air breathers do evaporate the condinsation better...... It a Fact Jack..
Doesn't* for your thumbnail friend.
lol funny thing is he didnt need to do this video. you can look at their can vs the stock one and tell something different and its probably better than the standard catch can.
i know nothing about cars btw :)
Can you address a crank case breather on the clean side? Metco is the one I use.
You guy's think of everything 😅. Keep it clean baby. Also stop calling the office for some bullshit questions, dude's got work to do!! LoL. (Forza C.S. "go check the video we just put up, goodbye") Thanks for the explanation video y'all.
Hi, I was wondering if you could make a video where you say eerm more times, thanks.
Great video explaining the catch can. I always wanted to know if I needed one for a stock LEXUS ISF. Now I know I don't need it. Thanks 👊
Glad I could help
Can you show a diagram of the routing of the hoses please thanks 👍
I've added JLT oil Catch Can to my 5.3 LS AFM Engine and it made a difference. Although i am sure this upgrade not for every engine out there.
So is he saying that a normal chevy truck would be hurt by this system?
Great video keep up the awesome work. And great explanation & your catch can is fire wish y’all sold those for Scatpack but great video awesome continent God Bless
I always thought the clean side hose was the one were the pcv gas came thru. Nearly put the catch can on the wrong godamn side. Thanks a lot and appreciate u guys for clearing this up.
i know he doesnt have these in production, are there any like his that anyone knows of?
Outstanding vid Brent ! My cat will be coming to your shop !!
As always true information thank you Brent..you are the real deal.
Very welcome
now i know all car engineers like all of them all stooped like MB, PORSCHE,AUDI,CRYSLER EVEN ROLLS ROYS NO ONE FIGURE THAT THEY NEED INSTALL SIMPLE OIL CATCH CANS LOL OMG!!!
Such a shame he doesnt sell the catch can seperately. SMH
First of all, the modem days engine oil separator already take count of the oil separate capability. If you wants to add additional capability to reduce the oil pull over, any catch can would do the job. The whole ideal is to add the volume to the system to so the oil droplets to drop off instead of circulation back to the intake.
Oil pull over???....blow by???
Awesome quality video the only thing that peeved me off is take 2 steps forward and show inside the actual engine bay and be great to inside the different cans
Noted!🙌
How do you feel about the Mighty Mouse ones? They seem to be built really well and has different additions than the billit one.
Might Mouse makes a really good product and the only one we use on every GM build of that tells you anything
Great to hear that because that's the one I ordered after watching this video.
a catchcan can do harm to your engine. if the oil water mixture in the can freezes. no air can go through the hoses and the crankcase cant let the gases out. and somewhen something will explode.
You either keep the can emptied on a regular basis or you could add a little antifreeze to the can.
They really should add them to all high performance applications at the factory, but isn't absolutely 100% necessary and is just a really good precaution though. I've got a top-quality one on the 6.1 in my Challenger, and amazes me how much builds up in between oil changes
Ya. I approximated about 6 Oz of oil per 3k miles.....and they say we don't need one?
if the oil is getting deposited into the catch can that basically is removing the engine oil out of the sump, correct.
@@kennylavay8492 You are correct. Make sure to check your engine oil if you are finding oil in the catch can.
Couldn’t have said it better 👏 👏 👏
Why can’t I just buy a catch by it self
What? You have air going into the engine through the valve cover? That wild! I have air coming out of the engine Through the valve covers. For Every vehicle i've owned since 1984. Like....30 Ford chevy dodge Shovelhead Evo twin cams. I knew those hellcats were cool but I had no idea how unique they were.
If you have Direct Injection (and no additional port injectors) GET AN OIL CATCH CAN!. I put a Cork Sport OCC on my 2019 MAZA CX-5 (2.5 L. turbo.) At 7,000 miles I drained 1/2 cup of nasty brown liquid from my catch can. SO happy that crap didn't go through my engine! ** Even so I'll have my dealer clean the intake valves at 50,000 miles with BG brand cleaner fluid.
15:30... high mileage NA applications GOOD TO KNOW, but I plan to go from 100k to 200k+ and everything helps!
HURRY UP LOL
This is extremely important for the turbo Ford motors
-- Great presentation. Question, and probably a cringe one: 2004 Chevy Tahoe 5.3L What's to stop me from sealing the intake manifold, hose for drool down utterly gutting the PVC system? - Rather than using a separator?
I have a 2018 Chevrolet impala premier 3.6l v6 vvt engine. My question is would a catch can be adequate for this engine.? Engine has 75,000 miles on it had a intake cleaning about a year and a half ago. My vehicle is well maintained change my oil full synthetic every 4,000 miles
I installed a UPR dual valve system(3 connections) on my 2013 F150 D.I. with Ecoboost , about 8 years ago, and every 1000 miles I get about 1/2 liter of what separates out to be Water, Sludge, and oil gas mix on the top. It removes enough water that I no longer get the intercooler slug of water I did at first and stopped the "puking" under load that the early units had. (nothing like pulling out to pass and losing power due to a water slug from intercooler) Forza's advice on a catch can on any D.I. engine is spot on. I just bought a 2013 Lincoln MKZ D.I. with ecoboost (16,000 miles, like new) ad am looking for a dual valve unit for that or for it's twin the Ford Fusion. Might have to cobble one together. My can is over a quart, and these oil/air separators would need to be emptied weekly , at least, with those 2 oz cans.
Great informative vid, could u plz make a vid about LT4 superchargered engine that comes in Camaro ZL1 and CT5-V BLACKWING, What should, and shouldnt do regarding catch cans. This would be a huge help.
Thanks alot
Great video. One question
I have. 22 Hellcat challenger 6.2 ltr. Would running a CFM crank case ventilator be useless? I ordered it before I had watched your video. And you seem pretty clear that the 6.2 hemi doesn’t have a positive pressure issue even one of your extreme boost. So please clarify for me should I send this back of the company or would it hurt anything by running it anyway
New rt challenger will I waste my money ?
Would say this video is correct... On our boosted application we have a breather catch can rated for high pressure, our NA has a can for regular crank case pressures and I only use them on the "dirty" side as the clean side shows nothing as tested by the many on forums for those applications if I am in error I wouldn't mind a reply...Thanks
I have a 2010 BMW X5M S63 4.4 engine twin turbo with Oil Separators in each valve cover. The oil separator on the passenger side is faulty. BMW quoted $2K to replace. Can I put an oil catch can inline, between the outside of the valve cover and the air intake? I get a plume of smoke only after idling for about 5 minutes, otherwise, no smoke.
I have regular 25$ can on 2022 Mdx and it does catch oil. So you don’t need turbo or super charged engin. I bought it brand new and it does still catch oil. Some miss information You don’t need expensive can. but also some good info thx
If a catch can is so beneficial, how come they don't come standard from the factory?
Another maintenance item many would neglect.
I was looking to add a J&L catch can to my Hyundai Palisade with the 3.8L GDI engine. It doesn't have the port injectors. Are those decent cans?
Most vehicles from the early 60s and before did not use a PCV system. They just had a tube dropping out under the vehicle to vent the crankcase to the atmosphere. Dirty yes. Smog in cities yes. I call them "Barf tubes"
I have it on my 392 6.4 . I don't understand why wouldn't u use it due it does it's job and catching nasty oil fumes what settles as oil or whatever it is . It's really nasty. Absolutely worth it to have it.
Can you help explain how I could hook one up to my trailblazer. I think mines a little different … should I just install it on the valve cover and then to the reservoir that connects to it? I had a good amount of oil in the reservoir and my TB gets dirty quick
Thing is that on an $80k car, supercharged, turbo charged, etc. than they would have a catch can/similar system, if the engineers concluded A. that they are necessary and B. cost-effective. So why is it that these types of cars don't already have such a system in the first place?
I love the honesty of this man he doesn’t care about taking people’s money from he believes in his work and there’s money people like that
How about a Toyota Camry is it worth to put one on my car has over 300,000 miles
No
Very informative,l will be purchasing a 2023 c8 corvette, was thinking about installing one (a catch can) but if it’s going to be of no real benefit don’t want to be throwing money away either, your thoughts? Thanks Eric Brake
Man I want one of those big FORZA banners for my garage!!! Hahaha. This channel has the BEST info on Hellcats and Mopar on RUclips IMO. I’m addicted to this channel. Keep up the Great work Brent I have learned so much from watching your videos and being a gear head myself I can’t get enough of the videos. I would Love to visit that shop one day with my Redeye. 🙏🏻
Best explanation yet. My question is, i have a 2014 3.5l eco, and do i need worry about having a can both sides. some say no, some say yes. From what your saying CCV side is fine, in my case, without a second can. Thanxs, best video on cans, Nice
Early thumbs up on this one.
The camera was shy to get closer?
Always use a catch can if you rev your engine over 6000 rpm, oil and blow by vaporize and will go into the engine otherwise. Forced induction could cause that stuff to burn before it even gets to the cylinder. Catch can is the way to go! Great video, so much information here!
Can I put a catch can on the clean side too?
@@XxCrazedEvolutionXx I’ve been running one on the clean side to test if necessary. Results after 10,000 miles and multiple 6300 rpm pulls, NOT NECESSARY to have catch can on clean side. My motor has stock ring gap though and it is a very clean 70k motor so if big ring gap is used it still may be necessary but I’ll find that out later. No detrimental effects of running catch can on both sides of engine for NA.
Now this is always talked about and much needed good information
Thank you 👍👍
No problem 👍
Stop skipping leg day.....
Lol!
Good video man!
What? His calves (all you can see) are seriously jacked! Is he supposed to work out his tibia and fibula, so they get bigger, too???
That's why the stuff that comes out of that catch can is a volatile mix of fuel and oil and combustion gases, along with some condensation/water. I don't care to be reburning that mix.
newer car will have direct injection, they need catchacan as fast as they can, otherwise their valves will be damaged....
Tracy Lewis cans
How would you enhance/transform a Super Stock Hellcat Redeye Challenger into a "Track" capable car?
I can't look at this guy.
2015 chevy equinox with a turbo 2.4 liter 4cyl. Should I get a catch can?
