As an ASE Master, +L1 emissions, I kinda get it why everyone gets their hackles up when it comes to a catch-can. Vapor is pulled thru the crankcase to evacuate gases, fumes and water vapor, especially if towing or you got a turbo. To keep the air plenum, intake & valves clean, you and I’ll have to have the engine oil temperature high enough to boil off water, as fuel would vapor first. Blow-by is more with a worn engine, but smaller ring contact plus a super charger or turbo will increase this blow-by. Water is a bi-product or burning a fossil fuel. My main concern for these cans would be the ability to condense the vapors, material for coalescing & WOT operation. I would position the can away from radiant exhaust heat & get it into an ambient air location, like so many “Cold Air Intakes”. Now, the top of this can is where the material should be large surface area contact to coalesce vapors to allow condensation to occur. The now liquid would gather & gravity would do the rest. There’s no way to judge the material or baffling, much less the value of the slots. It should have an easy drain to make friendly rather than a chore. Under WOT operation the can will gain pressure. To evacuate, the only location with pull is just in front of the throttle valve, so now a check valve is needed to default to the lowest pressure and a 3rd fitting. At least WOT is not always normal except when at WOT. This can appears a little thin on top, no reason for filter at the drain, but should have an inviting drain cock. Any application requires checking until a pattern of what’s normal is established. If o-rings are used, then it’s a machine thread. Teflon tape or liquid Teflon sealant (I would use) then it’s NPT pipe thread. O-rings on the housing would be nice for pressured opts. As for the term “Proprietary” just means it’s not a copy. Who knows, maybe they’ve made 2 more designs since video. Also, I hope you kill the music, I thought you was going to install it, instead, it just got fondled for a long time. After all, you want the cleanest air going back to engine as a programmed vacuum leak, because that’s what it is. Prior to IAC’s in the mid 70’s, pulling the dipstick out of the tube, would drop the RPM’s on multi-port EFI vehicles. All 2 of them. The Cadillac Seville w/350 & the Datsun 280Z w/7 injectors. The rest where CIS or mechanical. Corvette excluded.
Nice piece . The triple baffle effect is good for turbulence and surface for the the oil to condense on. Only thing missing is the 50 micron bronze filter on that should b in the outlet
Just purchased and installed the V3 "direct fit" on my '21 Nissan Titan. Wasn't impressed. No application specific installation instructions, when I contacted them about it they requested that I send them engine bay photos, which I did. They emailed me one of my photos with the catch can photoshopped in. If they are selling a direct fit, application specific kit you would think that they would know how to install said kit on that application and provide those instructions. I purchased a catch can kit for my Mazda from James Barone Racing and was very impressed with the detailed application specific instructions included.
Compared to other catch cans, this looks better. I'd still like to see a filter inside to catch the crap coming through. I had one many years ago with a replaceable filter. That unit was great!
That is actually a very cheap catch can. Nothing for the oil to coalesce on meaning it will be very ineffective - key word very - not totally. Take a look at UPR, they are patented and proven. Moroso a distant 2nd.
Super effective can designs, but the website is really making me work to find something because my application isn't American. Seems like they may be worth the trouble, though. Thanks for the recommendation.
how does this compare to the old one in terms of vapour captured? great channel

On the inlet side, that's an awfully big gap between the baffles. Could I put filtration media there (ie; stainless steel wool etc) to help further this can's ability or would I be hindering performance at that point?
Porsche Duésnburg a little late on this reply, but I have the v1 of this can. I put a chunk of a chore boy (metal mesh dish scrubber, like thicker steel wool) inside my baffle. It gives the vapors more surface to condense on and still let’s plenty of air through. 50k miles on my engine and still working well
@@DetectiveDan01 I am experimenting with the polyester batting they use as crankcase breather filter elements. With a melting point of 450 deg F it should be fine. No need for it to be metal as it will reach ambient vapor temp so condensing will not happen. It is more like micro droplets collecting via contact.
I like the can. But hearing you talk about the machining and the metal kinda kills my soul. Most elcheapo cansvare machines as well. The difference in these is the baffle system, the top may be heavy, but the bottom is thin which is good for weight because it doesn't need to be billet material.
I just contacted Fathouse Fabrications (who I thought made these catch cans) about the ADD W1 Oil catch can and they said "Im sorry we dont sell that part and we dont have anything else for the 03-04 Cobra's", Where do you get this ADD W1? Anyone? Thank you.
I just finished watching you're video. And I just purchased my oil catch can. I have a Kia Optima so if you are not going to use the bracket you have you mine if I can have it.? Looking forward to the next video you make.
Why not use an oil filter relocation kit/adapter where the oil filter now becomes the medium that traps/allows the blow by gassed to have a medium to condense on.
addw1.com/shop?olsPage=products%2Fadd-w1-baffled-oil-catch-can-v1-ot-addw1-v3-black This is where you can buy it. Its not on Amazon or Ebay. Has anyone used this on BMW e46?
@@Jommybutler1234 oh your right! I missed that apparently. Maybe I was thinking about a ball valve but it should be easy enough to screw one into that hole in the bottom in place of the plug. Thanks for pointing that out.
Come on Add W1!! All this nice machining and you fail on the simple task of including the 3' of hose that you claim you include for free. Fact is you supplied a 3/8" ID x 12" long hose and a 1/2" x 10" long hose... I have to give you a 3 out of 5 for making me drive 15 miles to the parts store after spending $110 on your product! Had you supplied 1.5" of each size as claimed on your ordering site the install would have been trouble free.
Really "extremely effective", flash isn't effectiveness. Neither is unusual. I will believe effective when you have the DATA. Dude the machining is all done on CNC equipment... not so impressive IMHO. A guy slams the stock in the machine and pushes "GO". Only one guy programmed those swirly slots that - to the vapors - are just another hole.
@@imstricken06 Nah just funny to hear the word so many times in a row. Crap can though. Theres no filter at all. Just the metal baffle A good can will have a Brass filter or something to help. Check out Mishimoto and few other top brands. They will all have some sort of filter. I'd have to agree with a few other comments. It kinda felt like an advertisement. Good job for at least using a catch can. Most people don't even know what one is.
If a sticker sets you off, you should seek therapy. If I seen a left wing sticker in your video it wouldn’t stop me from watching & learning your content. Not very open minded if you sir.

You sound like your wife, always bitching.

I have been considering the bronze filter. I am concerned about water vapor freezing/plugging it. As I live in a colder climate.
Bronze filter will Freeze and increase your crankcase pressure. Blown Seal
@@jasmwhite1 The crankcase vapor is 220-250F and under constant vacuum from the manifold. I don't see how freezing is a concern.
I love the ADD W1 can. Been using one for 10,000 miles without any issues
i love mine too. got 1 year on the gen 2 and its still solid. working this new one now
Question- Ever any oil on the exits side of the hose? That I, and im sure others, would like to see on video. Thank you!
i bought their previous version and its great. well worth the money if u have turbo or some type of boost application
So there's no stain steel mesh on the inside?
No, looks like you could take it apart and add a little to the inlet side.
Glad you're back. I am looking forward to the update video.
Barry Sexton im taking apart the old oil catch can and doing a video on what it looks like after 25,000miles/1yr. Stay tuned! :)

I love this can. Installed this on my optima. The quality is The best
Does it come with both hoses or you need to buy it
All that matters is how it functions. Show us the function! Blah blah machining, expensive etc is just useless.
I have a mishimoto oil catch can and that oil catch can is great too but I do like the add w1 v3 I might buy it and try it out on my turbo elantra
Did you buy it?
This kit is all about fan-boy bling, it needs a 50-micron filter to be complete.
KIA why was this not on your GDI engines from the factory?
Was it machined though?
This or Mishimoto?

what will happen if the tank is full . engine will drink water from the tank
What is the capacity of the hold tank? (just an approximate)

Hello.
I'm interested in buying one, but I need to connect a 19 mm hose both in and out of it. Is the thread of the can 1/2 inches ?
Thanks.
But it's still not separating anyting.

Why does nobody ever bother to mention these are useless in cold climates and dangerous to engine seals if they freeze...?

It catches a lot of blowby on my brz😎
LOL! That's a nice piece, but you should probably hype it up a little bit more... I'll take five!!! L.O.L.
lol, time and labor, on a CNC machine. Maybe they need to unionize so the man isnt exploiting their labor any longer.
It's so funny, weight has nothing to do with quality...
They should put a drain valve on the bottom of that stupid thing!
Paully Castallano I'll agree with that.
There is a drain He points it out in the video
