Can't agree
Quote:
The one close to the fender is connected to the clean side PCV and the other one on the dirty side (one on top of the engine) After 700 miles I opened the cans. The clean side had oil fumes into the stuffing I added to the Megan type can which is an empty type can. But for the dirty side there was about 1 height inch of oil accumulation after only 700 miles. Imagine, my car has 16,000 miles now. I always thought that clean is always better than dirty... As for this thread I hope that SC2150 will be back since hI learned a lot on catch cans because of him.

I don't know Tracy. Never spoke with, or even seen any posts by him/her. But I do know others who are not the people that the community thinks they are. Even some who are still active. Quote:
It's not like all of that oil builds up and gets stuffed in the engine at one time. It burns off. Now I'm all for the best fix. fix it and be done with it. Though I still haven't put one on my car, I have plenty of time. And will do so. A catch can is a really cool idea for these engines. But as a preventitive measure. You could put 250k miles on your engine and NEVER have a problem from not having a catch can. These engines are designed that way. It's a good call to put one on if you think you'll have the car and never have to open the engine up for anything. Throw a blower on there or do a cam and power it up more and you could benefit even more. But again, it's just a 'just in case' preventitive. I said all that, to say this; My point is simply, ANY catch can you buy is gonna trap oil just like the one you have. I'm saying that one engine WITH a catch can may or may not last as long as one without. Odds are with the engine with a catch can. So then put one up against another............ kinda unnecessary. Bottom line, one catch can catches 95% of the oil, and the other catches 90% of the oil. On an engine that can survive just fine catching 0% of the oil. That's all I'm saying. A catch can is a catch can. They will all work just fine. Last edited by PQ; 05-11-2011 at 06:21 PM. |

He is still active and doing business on other forums. This ban hasn't slowed him down at all.

Like the can to the dirty side and then the one to the clean side, I am more confused on the location of these more than ever now.

Since the catch-can debate may have had something to do with his suspension, is it wise to start it up in this thread?

So, since, in my opinion, the need for a catch can at all is not as important as made out to be, ANY can is gonna be just fine. Unless one is just NOT catching the oil. Wich I doubt. He was suspended. Not us. And I brought it up to make this thread make sense. We can't have a thread discussing a members suspension. |

Hmmm vendor gets banned while mods investigate something lol.
I tend to agree with PQ that the catch can is really not as important as hyped. I have actually been bewildered at how so much is said on these forums about catch cans. Then again I am equally shocked at the tech vs bling post on these forums think its about 1/1000. So that being said I am really shocked a vendor for a product that to me is pretty much bling with a near irrelevant use got banned for just bickering in a forum.

My boost is LOW. You have almost twice the power I do. I know I need a catch can but the power and low boost I'm running isnt' gonna make a difference. I'll be doing a cam soon and I'll HAVE to get one. My point is simply that the difference in these catch cans are exagerated. FI is different and I said that. |
