XF Falcon <put funny sh*t here> Member 3,365 Member For: 18y 6m 3d Gender: Male Location: Perth, NOR Posted 08/06/09 05:55 AM Share Posted 08/06/09 05:55 AM I know its been done to death, but whats the best way for us to fit a catch can to our cars?By default, on a stock XR6T the front breather hose goes back into the intake (pre-turbo) which sucks the crankcase fumes out and the rear one with the PCV valve went into the inlet manifold so that it can suck in the crankcase fumes when its under vacuum and wont push anything back once the intake system is making boost. (I think that's how it works yeah?)After fitting my full 1000hp Plazmaman kit (plenum..etc) the rear PCV outlet goes into the bottom of the plenum, and the front one goes into the pipe between the filter and the turbo.What would be the best way (for the engine life) to fit a can up? I realise having a little bit of oil going into the system is good for the turbo isnt it? but then it builds up on the inside of the cooler, plenum, throttle body..etc which can affect performance.Option 1Leave the rear hose with the PCV valve connected to the underside of the plenum, so that it can draw in any fumes at vacuum/idle, and connect the front hose to a catch can. The catch can has a filter up the top and vents any filtered air into the atmosphere. I then replace the pipe between the air filter and turbo with one that has no fitting on it.Option 2Leave the rear hose with the PCV valve connected to the underside of the plenum, so that it can draw in any fumes at vacuum/idle, and connect the front hose to a catch can. The catch can has a return hose which goes back before the turbo.Option 3Have both the front and rear breather hoses going into the catch can, and then have a filter on top of the catch can, venting into the atmosphere. I then replace the pipe between the air filter and turbo with one that has no fitting on it, and blank off the fitting on the underside of the plenum.Option 4Have both the front and rear breather hoses going into the catch can, and then return the air back into the fitting at the front of the turbo. This will then recycle the filtered air (through the catch can) back into the system.

Pube Member 159 Member For: 17y 11m 28d Gender: Male Location: Sydney, NSW Posted 08/06/09 08:01 AM Share Posted 08/06/09 08:01 AM option 2 would be the easiest one and the answer you are looking for to remove the oil from the intercooler and associated plumbing. If you were to get a custom made catch can, id plumb up both - option 4.You must remember its illegal to vent a catch can to the atomsphere. I just installed a catch can plumbing (option 2) and used a generic can but added a baffle in the can. The generic cans are only very basic, using volume to separate the oil from the air. The best cans are baffled which slows the oil/air enough so the oil separates from the air and drops to the bottom of the can by gravity. There is a bit involved in designing an efficient catch can. Have a read of this if you want to learn more on air/oil separation:http://peugeotforum.dk/images/Oilbreather/...her_systems.pdf Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/58065-catch-can/page/2/#findComment-887586 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll look into putting one on.... Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/58065-catch-can/page/2/#findComment-887852 Share on other sites More sharing options...
