Conclusion

I am satisfied for the 20bucks modification, I felt more smoother in the low end, possibly better gas consumption. Doing this at your own risk, questions goes to b16a_2@msn.com

Nevermind

whats an oil catch can?

oil catch can does what it's named, collects the oil and moisture in the blow by gases that causes carbon and sludge build-up in the intake system and the engine.

These things are all the hype these days. I call it a HT trend.

hype?? catch cans have been around for as long as emissions systems have been. they are a necessary evil to emissions controls on high performance street engine. besides, keeping the crankcase properly vented is a lot more difficult than it sounds.

these are prety much worthless on a near stock motor right??

yes, they really only become a concern when you pressurise an intake tract :naughty: or run massive compression... then the crankcase pressures are a concern and I think the PCV gets confused.

I think you are confused :p

at least I'm not confused about my sexuality like you :thumbup:

AHAHAHAHA kieran IS GAY

HAHAHA!

u homos

calm down, i was just jokin around with bruno

I didn't expect any addition hp/tq from this box, just to prevent oil dirt my engine. You can't ask your suspension to give you 20hp...can you?:thumbup:

It's all good, I didn't want to post the howto until someone asked for it, and I knew I would be getting comments like above. I am cool.

BTW: Aren't you from Leitner Performance? I might visit you in the summer...ask a few questions.:cheers:

Here's a pic of a home made catch can I made at work a couple of months ago.
