Fantastic! You have given me an idea for something a bit different to improve the capture of the steel scrubby. Thanks for posting this. Really, thanks.
I think that i'ts a great idea to make a coil shaped copper pipe instead -or combined with- the stainless steel sponge. And mantain the coil-shaped copper pipe on the upper part of the catch can. Better with the copper pipe screwed inside of the connector with screw-lock glue. (Will need to be mechanized in order to screw the copper pipe with the connector).
I got the UPR catch can for my Dodge charger and it's only about half full of metal mesh so I'm going to go buy some scotch bright pads. I figure more material won't hurt anything.
@@obscur156 lol merci pour le video. Je viens de posé une catch can voila un mois et jessaye de minformer le plus possible. Tres ingenieux de ta part 😎
@@lucluc2716 Merci du compliment,je m'inspire de ce que j'ai deja vue et l'optimise ! Oublie pas de la vider une fois de temps en temps lol ! Bonne soiree .

I also used it in a catch can. What I did was, I brought brass woven wire mesh from Amazon A4 size with an aperture size of 0.0060 Inch's. I then cut and sized the brass mesh according to the size of the catch can into a cylindrical pattern, basically I rolled it up and put back the lid and that's simple it. Obviously, you can chose your own patterns according to your preferred choice, but I am open to suggestions. On another note, these brass weaves are used for the majority of commercial applications and for filtration where a high flow rate is required.
Cool,Thanks for the info elintra.I will try that brass mesh. Even Mishimoto is using brass in there catch can.Looks like a good idea.Thanks again,i will give feed back in the spring on this.here its winter and pretty cold ,hitting -25 celcius...I will do a review about my catch can after a year of use in the spring.Stay tune for more .Regards.
i did you same thing but, at a much smaller scale. i made a youtube video about it aswell. when you clean the oil catch can, what do yuo do with the steel scrubs?
I just drain the catch can with the the drain plug at the bottom of the can and leave the steel scrub in place. i will check your video. Thanks for watching,regards.
Thats a good question but i don't think so.If you want to do this "Mod",maybe you can put a screen in front of the inlet that goes back to the air intake.That way you will be sure that nothing will go back in the engine.My two cents.Thanks for watching,regards.
@@meocats thats true but i had to cut mine to make it fit, shook it a bit and rinsed it to remove possible small shavings but im sure there are some that i couldnt account for. So there are still some pieces that mightve made its way out of the catch can. No problems on my engine so far, just saying its still a possibility. (Installed catch can about a month ago)
abukid The only thing i can say is ,why not ! You can try it if you want but be sure that the glue you will use will not be sucked in the intake.It will propbably stay in the catch can anyway like the oil ...Now you can try that and give feed back on your experience and share with others. I will make a review on the catch can in the spring to show what it caught in one year of use on my silverado... You can watch my other video of catch can on my channel. Best regards.
obscur156 I'll use the weld brand. I'll get a clear tube. Put the weld around the protruding screw. Then, push the clear tube and let it dry. The tube is half-way, NOT all the way at the bottom of the can. Then, the steel wool to catch the oil. Ok, looking forward on your video.
@@abukid4857 these catch cans still take alot of heat under the hood, its important to always use heat resistant materials in whatever youre engineering
thanks for inspiration. i bought the same catch can and was surprised that it was empty inside.
Thanks for taking the time to comment

Try to use brass as that is a excellent material for catching contaminants.
I will try to find brass,what did you use for this application ?
I also used it in a catch can. What I did was, I brought brass woven wire mesh from Amazon A4 size with an aperture size of 0.0060 Inch's.

You can find it on eBay and Amazon

obscur156 owww ok I saw ur vid, my catch can doesn't have a drain plug. I will have to unscrew the entire bottom off to drain it.
Oh ,that's a bit of a pain if you have to unscrew the entire bottom,maybe you can thread the bottom and make your self a drain plug.
is there not a danger of metal shards from the catch can going from the can back into the engine?

steel wool is not made from metal shards

That's why you get baffled oil catch cans
Strange how this is made up exactly like the cheaper Mishimoto can.
how did you open this thing sir? the allen screws are tight as hell
Mine where easy to unscrew.
Thanks for watching,regards.
what size of hose did you get?
If i remember,it was 3/8 inch hose. Best regards and thanks for watching.
Thanks for the reply. Btw, looking at 0:57. What if you super glue a clear vinyl hose inside?
