Oil Catch Can

Couple pics of my Elite set up

After only a few hundred kilometres this is what the Moroso catch can captured. Appears to me it's a top notch product and if installed correctly it does an extremely good job. We could not recreate any issues with it at all.

That is a nice catch. I thought you were going to test to see if any was getting through too?

That is the bigggest problem when people look at "my can caught this!!" . It is not what it catches (take a beer can, add 2 fittings,and run the same amount and you will see it catch plenty of oil also). It is what a can LET'S THROUGH into your intake air charge. The only way to test that is to use the clear glass inlne fuel filter between ANY can and the vacuum port on your intake manifold. Simple, cheap, and it shows exactley what is happening.

Did that test when we installed the can several weeks ago nothing getting through on my setup.

In any case my position is based on seeing the crap it catches I would definitely recommend a catch can for any high performance engine. If the choice of can (not everyone is going to want the same product for aesthetic reasons, etc...) doesn't catch every last drop at least it's going to get a percentage of it and that's a lot better than the majority of that crap getting into the intake and combustion chamber. I'm a true believer in this technology it definitely works.

You really checked it and found none getting through? Are you sure the outlet isn't blocked? j/k

The rest of us would have loved to see the actual hook up and miles though. And what you are showing is a lot of blowby or seems like it anyway.

There is no "rest of you" for me to show anything to. Why should I focus my time on proving to anyone what I've tested, filmed, driven, et al.

I don't work in the field and don't have anything to prove or dis-prove. The product works great for me, looks awesome and quality is the best can my shop has seen to date. So, nothing for me or anyone else to prove as I have no skin in the game; I don't sell catch cans for a living. I'm just sharing my "real world" experience to others that may want to use what I'm using. I have nothing to prove to anyone, so why would I post up false , I don't sell anything in the auto market, nor do I work in that sector. Do you? Call it blowby, water, grease, oil, et al. I don't care, it's what came out of the can after a few days of driving. Chalk it up as whatever you want.

I've learned enough on C5 to know that the pitch on these forums from vendors is salesmen (pretending to be regular members) attempting to pry people away from buying what they want, by using a bunch of smoke and mirror tactics to bash other products.

I don't doubt you may have a good product, but you shouldn't be bashing or discrediting other good products on the market to make a sale. Let people decide what they want to buy and if it works for them you should be happy. Present your case for your product, and let other present their case or experiences for other products.

The OP asked the question "Just wondering for the members that are using an oil catch can where did you get yours and what deals are out there?" He didn't ask for a sales pitch or a b***ch session or a school yard argument about who's is better than who's.

Comes to mind ProCharger sued Vortech for using these same tactics to discredit their product. Be careful what you post.

Those of us that like this stuff would be interested. But hey if you say there is no pull through, then others won't be disappointed when they get one absed on your recommendation, and test for themselves.

Edit: It just occured to me that maybe it was my comment about much how oil you are catching that might have offensive. I only mentioned it because I've shown what mine caught with a bad valley cover and then the same miles after the fix. Yours just seemed like a lot for only a few hundred miles. Most likely it has something to do with the performance level. A heads up for the big biulds and the importance of the catch can.

Exactly. I'm only one in several thousands of other people using them on Camaro, Mustang, Challenger, Corvette and several other vehicle makes.

I'm not recommending or endorsing anything just saying this is the can I'm using and it work great (see pics) after the shop I used installed it, tested it to work as well as it does.

I cannot guarantee if others will get the right setup, buy the right version or have it installed correctly by a skilled professional. All I can do is give my feedback on my personal experience with the product and the results I got.

DOSE IT VOID THE WARRANTY?

It really depends on your dealership I guess. My catch can helped me show proof of how much oil was going through the PCV system and as a result my valley cover was replaced under warranty. But I have a great dealership and their Vette mechanic knows his stuff well beyond stock setups.

I installed my Elite catch can this past weekend and noticed that it collected ~1-2 oz. of oil in about 100 miles or so of driving with a few spirited romps thrown in the mix. Is that above normal? Or is it just "catching" up with keeping the system clean?

That isn't normal. See my thread entitled "Excess Oil in the PCV system".
