Someone help me pick out an oil catch can for my SS.

[SC2150]

There are only 2 cans on the market that actually catch 99% plus. All (even a beer can w/2 fittings) will catch oil, but it is the amount that gets through that is at issue.

1. Most cans on Ebay are nothing more than an empty overflow can with 2 fittings in. The inlet & oulet are app 1-2" apart and much of the crankcase vapor just flows right through.

2. Most are far to small in capacity to allow the vapors to slow & cool enough for the oil to fall out of suspension....so that eliminates most any that are not at or near 1 qt capacity. Any less and the velocity of the vapors flowing through will still carry some oil through no matter what.
Even with a baffel containing filter media they still have a very short distance to the outlet and cannot allow enough time for the majority of the oil to fall out of suspension.

3. Many of the more effective ones have internal filter media that works great to begin with, but soon saturate and allow droplets to be pulled off and out the outlet into the intake. (easy to test...just plumb an inline clear fuel filter between any cans outlet & the vacuum nipple of the manifold and you will see it begin to saturate with oil after a short time, the Saikou Micchi & RevXtreme will still be clean due to the design). These cans require disasembly often to clean the media to remain effective.

4. Understand just how a properly designed can works to be truely effective, and remember....ANY can, even the plastic Sears or Home Depot air compressor filters will catch oil....but it's how much flows through that cause the issues, no matter how "cool" or quality they look (AMW, ELITE, Mike Norris, CCA, ALL look awesome and are quality built, but of the small filter media cans only the taller Mike Norris/CCA ones trap the majority as the others are just to small for the physics of liquid suspension to allow removal. So if your dead set on a can you can dissasemble with filter media to clean, those two are the only ones I'd consider.

5. Both the Saikou Micchi & The RevXtreme are 1 qt capacity. Both have a seperate perforatted dispersion tube that runs from the inlet to the large cooling chamber that allows the vapors to disperse evenly, slow enough to allow the oil to fall out of suspension, and contact as much cooling surface to condense the rest before exiting app. 12" from the inlet. The RevXtreme goes a few steps further with a disc baffeling system that seperates the cooling/condensing champer from the outlet chamber, and the RevX can has a built in PCV checkvalve that controls the amount of flow & prevents any reversion allowing oil to back-flow under WOT conditions.

Also, the RevXtreme units come in different configurations for NA or FI. On the FI systems, one-way checkvalves allow the system to work as an NA system when under low boost or idle conditions, but automatically close under boost and switch to the FI head unit for vacuum when under boost preventing the crankcase from being pressurized & preventing any reversion or back-flow into the intake manifold or throttle body.

Want to learn more? PM me your email & I will send the entire file of diagrams for most any application you could want, and the RevXtreme units have 2010 camaro specific mounting brackets and the correct size hoses as well as step by step instructions with pictures.

Again, we test EVERY can we see offered for under $200 and rank them from best to worse with the RevX & Saikou Micchi by far the most effective (you can do the tests yourself) with the Mike Norris & CCA tied for second, and every other unit goes down hill from there no matter how beautiful they look...function is the name of the game and with the top 2 all you do is open the easy to use drain valve at every oil change, that simple.

Both RevX & Sikou Micchi have dual units for crazy builds that offer seperate clean & dirty side functions.

2010 camaro:












Any questions, just ask. I'll provide all the reference material you could ever want to read on the subject form labs to engineers....NOT internet assumption keyboard "experts". And any that want my cerdentials I'll happily post them up.


For the Magnason application just PM me.

do you have any better pictures of the install? I can't make out where you actually mounted it. Thanks

[SC2150]

Sure thing.

Bottom bolt of the tensioner bracket is where the bracket mounts to:



Small L bracket mounts to that bolt:



And this is an earlier model....the current ones for the 2010 camaro have the outlet out the top next to the inlet for a cleaner look.

That is an excellent oil seperator, but is designed to return the oil to the crankcase.....and along with that the sulerifc acid & other caustic byproducts with it.

It is also designed for a high oil consumption application and does very well in seperating oil out of suspension. Lingenfelter is top notch, but again, you can put both side-by side in testing and see long term the 2 top ones I mention will trap everybit as much...and more for less$$. Been there.

I would have no qualms useing that unit at all with a drain attached to the bottom where it would normally return to the crankcase, but the elemnet changes and need to clean often would not be ideal for the daily driver.

Again, nice unit but very respectfully, until you have tested it side by side you can't make that claim.

I ordered the Revxtreme just because of how well people say it works and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Someone should get a goup buy going on the RevExtreme. It's not expensive by any means but it will encourage a lot of forum members to purchase this mod.

That would be nice but at half the price of "most" of the competitors, I don't see it.

I ordered a RevExtreme CC last night (by phone). The price did go up to $99 with a $15 shipping charge. Im glad to see they changed the location of the outlet to the top.

[camaro1]

id be in also for a group buy.
