Thank you for your very informative video I was never sure of the correct flow direction until now flashlube installation instructions were very vague. Well done and much appreciated
Just had your video come up in my feed. I fitted exactly this catch can to my VDJ200. Without hanging shit on anything or anyone I just hope you don’t have the drama I did with mine.
@@jessesshed2928 the short version is that it started blowing smoke. I spent thousands of dollars and getting ripped off by a supposed “ specialist “ fixing other things that were not the issue then sorted the smoke issue myself by removing the catch can. It was a conclusive and immediate fix. I just don’t know exactly why it was happening. I suspect it was allowing oil from the can to drain into the left turbo intake pipe. But it did it even though I’d emptied the can.
@@craigbutler273 seems strange as it doesn’t change the airflow it just sits inline and pulls out most of the oil from the air returning to the manifold. Without it you just get more oily air flowing back to the manifold so should smoke worse. Glad you got it sorted anyway.
@@jessesshed2928 correct. There are plenty of people that don’t have issues. Normally they have provent 200 cans. The flashlube can is in effect a smaller provent designed for 4 cylinder engines. I couldn’t understand how a can can be too small for what it needs to do. I’m no expert on the topic but I can only surmise that it had an effect on the crankcase vac system.
If the can is too small or the filter in the can is too fine(read restrictive) or the can is Full of oil, the airflow in the catch-can will become restricted and the engine will start blowing seals and gaskets as well as the pressure in the engine rises you might/will start blowing smoke as the oil will pressurise into the cylinders passed the rings into the combustion chamber mostly on the inlet stroke. As well as using oil therefore, it can also cause cylinder wall glazing which will make the engine use even more oil, that will not fix itself the cylinders need to be honed to get rid of the glazing and new cylinder rings etc(big expensive job!). The trick is to have a free flowing system so no pressure is built up in the engine. That's what the crankcase ventilation system is all about. A case of the bigger the can and hoses the better! Size does matter after all!!
Hey bud, catch can isnt your oil holder you need to fit drain pipe which becomes your oil container. There is no room inside retain oil with flashlube pro or provent 100
Hi Kacel, that is the best option, you can blank off the intake and update the ecu to stop it opening. These are best for the engine but unfortunately not legal in all countries due to Emissions.

There should be a drain tube on the catch can with the release valve at the bottom of the drain hose. The hose holds the oil not the catch can

What problems did you have? Mine seems to be going well so far.

Thanks buddy i got 1 in my 2014 twin T 200series
Great video
Put mine at 100000km on vdj200
Happy results

When the engine is warm and running, how much blow-by and condensation/smoke do you get out of the oil fill port?
What make/model is your catch can mate I’m looking at getting one .. cheers 🍻
I'm from Russia. All problems are due to the EGR. Maybe it's easier to remove it?
