oil catch can? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

iarefluffy · 02-01-2015, 10:54 PM

hello! ive got a few bucks to spend and was wondering if an oil catch can was worth the buy? not too sure as to how it helps. From what i understand it redirects the air from somewhere in the engine and goes into the can as steam and the rest of the air goes back into the engine.

If someone could give me a little more insight that would be great! and if its also worth the buy.

was thinking of getting myself thecusco one!

IMHO, it's efficient and a should-have if you're running some sort of forced induction system... Otherwise, waste of money.

The cusco one is unbaffled afaik and is purely for ricers. Try saikou michi or mishimoto or another good baffled type. You need single can NA, dual cans FI.

I have a Saikou and like it. It defenetly catches oil and I don't have forced induction. Cheap insurance in my opinion. I would suggest a quality unit to anyone and everyone.

To be fair, it depends how you drive it. If you're going to race the engine alot then yes, if you just drive it as a commuter, then no.

I don't race my car and I still catch oil. It isn't much, but every drop that doesn't get into my intake is a good thing.

I have the cusco so I guess I must be a ricer (by the way I find that pretty racist). Despite not being baffled, it is catching a considerable amount amount of blow-by gas and worth the money imo.

I run the Mishimoto catch can, however, i vent to atmosphere, and had the extra port to the intake manifold capped off

Are you referring to the new FT86 kit? http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76906

If so, how do you like it?

It still catches oil even if the car was driven as commuter.
