Temp oil catch device. AOS coming soon
3 Attachment(s)
So I was seeing Crawford take apart a fa20 with 5,000 miles and I saw how dirty the combustion chamber and pistons were. So I decided to create a temporary solution to oil being pulled into the engine through the PCV.
I will check it in a few weeks to see if it's collecting oil and keeping it out. I report back progress Attachment 14766 Attachment 14767 Attachment 14768 ::: disclaimer ::: I do not recommend this mod to anyone. Which is why I didn't make this a DIY. This is soley for purposes I still don't understand. Good day and dont do this to your car! |
I used one of those on my turbo RX-8. It seemed to work well at catching oil. It just doesn't have a lot of capacity.

thats undersized for our application, and not the right device; I get that its temporary; but I wouldnt have posted up a picture of that home depot hackery..I used a Moroso solution thats bit more than temporary and may be worth your look

OP clearly goes for innovation instead of waiting for other people to create it. :respekt: for OP having the balls to try out new stuff and post it for all of our benefit. |

Perhaps you should follow the leaders and innovators concept, and show me what you have under your hood, and I will show you mine. I give op credit for balls, but it represents an over all inexperience in race or track prepping a car. benefit? therein lies the question The OP would benefit seeking a remedy for this temporary solution before it fails and becomes a vacuum leak or an oil spill on the track. I advise others against this sort of pseudo automotive hackery, YMMV |

I agree with the explanation completely. However, I also agree that the last line (as another poster has pointed out) could have been left out, its inflammatory and non-productive. Its just a dig, plain and simple. Eric G |
Agreed, I am harsh often too blunt direct and critical. Probably proud of these qualities,too. Interweb just amplifies that.
I think its a safety issue, not trying to mock anybody...just dont wanna have folks think they too should be implementing this solution, which is VERY temporary I should hope Somethings are best kept your own dirty lil secret, this mod is one of those take it easy ladies, post a picture of an ugly mod, and I'm RIGHT HERE , your friendly forum troll, k? |

Fair enough! I am open to any and all comments.
I don't track or race my car by any means. I just want a VERY cheap and quick albeit solution. If it gets full or starts to melt after a few days of use then it comes out. Not looking for looks on this mod. It looks like a blackhead on a teenagers face, I know. I'm checking it after every drive. I'll pay attention to the concerns of you guys on hear. Plus I added a little disclaimer in my OP. cheers! |

I just spent the weekend at the race track with no catch can, rather than sitting in front of the computer debating the merits of a catch can.
I had more fun than y'all. The home depot solution is a good one to monitor the problem. When it doesn't fill with oil after 3 weeks I suppose it won't seem so undersized. That separator can probably flow 150 cam at 90 psi, so it won't have a problem with a little flow under engine vacuum. Oh yeah, my car didn't blow up at the track, and the dipstick didn't show any significant oil loss. Scott |
