Looks like they are using a air oil/water separator element typically used with air compressors in place of the usual metallic mesh or gates to trap the oil. interesting. Which side is the inlet and which is the outlet?

I recently purchased a Crawford AOS on the classifieds without taking into account that the top port of the can is plumbed to that port that is on the factory intake tube just south of the throttle body. Problem is I will not have that option very shortly. Does anyone know if the Crawford AOS is even applicable with a turbo setup? And how would it be routed if so? Thanks in advance.

After about 2 years of development, we're finally going to bring it to market.

We won't be making many for the first round, we need to gauge reaction and see what people's comments/concerns are about the kit but it is finally coming to market. Probably 2 months out yet . |

Boy these things are overpriced. It's only an air/oil separator, a basic part. The key engineering aspect of the part is to slow down the incoming air stream and let the oil fall out of suspension into the can while the air keeps moving and heads to your intake. Media of some sort could assist in the separation. $200 price tags on these is a bit over the top. I'm all for capitalism, but these could be crafted from a sturdy solo cup and lid and a few fittings if needed.

I do agree, it's a very basic part, but it depends on whether you want something that's made of metal, or just an injection molded piece of plastic (which also won't be cheap as they have to recoup the cost of the mold). i myself cringe at paying some prices, but i have a decent idea of what it takes to get a part made vs. selling something. if you have the fabrication skills and access to equipment, then that's going to be the cheapest route. paying for shop time with your own design might be next. now, if you want to get into selling your part, then you'll have to mark up your cost to wholesale/retail to cover all your overhead etc. it adds up quick. i installed the radium this past week: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...48#post2677248 while i wish it'd have cost substantially less, i can see how it can command at $200+ price tag once everything is factored in, and for the company to make a normal profit in it. it's a very basic part, but it's a darn well-made basic part.

to be honest, mishimoto has a really awesome catch can. I believe they have two threads on this forum talking about it. I'm supercharged with tons of track experience and I can definitely say it gets the job done. if you google mishimoto catchcan ft86club on google you'll find the threads i'm talking about. they even have data to prove a dual catch can isn't so necessary.

I thought their research validating the necessity for just a single catch can was done on an NA vehicle? I may be mistaken though I have the Dual Radium Catch Cans and have no complaints so far. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I have stupid question so bare with me, please.
I am considering the Radium set up, and was confused as to the difference between the PVC and the Crankcase versions. I have a supercharger, but don't track my car. Just occasional spirited drives. What's the difference between the two and which would be better to have?

Their website has a brief description of how each works, however as to which is best for spirited street driving I'm not sure. http://www.radiumauto.com/Catch-Can-...RZ86-P374.aspx I ended getting both since I'm S/C and track Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
