[HT] DIY Oil Catch Tank

Step1

=========

I bought everything from homedepot, here is the list of materials.

SBVKG10 Braided hose 10 feet

Three hole Box 1

Three Hole Box Cover 1

Small Hose clamps 4

Brass Bush(1/2"x 1/4") 2

Barb Adapter(3/8" x 1/4") 2

Teflontape 1 roll



Buy yourself some dish scrubbing thingies at dollar store...or use foam...DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL

==========

Step2

Seal taping all your adapters and screws.



==========

Step3

It's a three hole box but you'll only need two, seal one hole using the cover that comes with the box.



===========

Step4

Almost done...



===========

Step5

Put foam or dish wipes in the box



===========

Step6

Seal the box and make sure it is not leaking any air.



===========

Step7

Installation, one pipe goes to your PCV and the other pipe goes to the intake manifold. Then find a place to mount the box.




============

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

============

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.

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.

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

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?

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.
