Chris141084 Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 Think I'll be doing the same when I get round to fitting one, thanks for the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Fitting a catch can to the low load/idle side of the PCV system is the best option as this breathes the most oil vapour, the high load side does not, so a can is not really necessary. You need a sealed can with an inlet and outlet, and preferably internally baffled, with a sealed drain plug, as this will be under vacuum all the time so will cause running issues if there is an air leak.

davey_83 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 This is what I swapped out my hoses for, absolutely solid in feel 4.5mm walled. https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pro-Hose-Universal-Straight-Black-Coolant-Air-Hose-1m-Length/351630359705 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic73 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I know this was discussed in the past, but some of the links don't work and pics are missing. Like the post asks, I'm also looking for a good quality catch can recommendation and fitting instructions. I don't want to spend more than £150 if I can help it? Thanks, Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows a universal can for £16, blimey that's a good price. The Mushimoto ones I saw are like £300, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I have one hooked up to the PCV valve and have done for years and years. Currently plumbing a 2nd one to the pre throttle body intake, so both banks are looked after and the intake receives all filtered air. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much was it if you don't mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Both are universal catch cans, arounds £50 for the pair plus good quality hoses and media filter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
