Coming Soon: Gen V Non-Invasive Catch Can Bracket DSE-VP-CC-002

[Simms]

I'm pulling parts together for the two kits. I hope to offer the bracket(s), can(s), hoses, fittings, etc as a kit. The new brackets are done. I need to do a test fit to see what works best as soon as I have everything ready. The new catch cans are nice and compact and also cheaper than the Radium offering.

Sounds great! I like the sound of a complete kit.

Nice! Wonder if this setup could be used on the revised 2016 setup?

Yes It will be compatible with all gen V cars.

I'm In !!!

That is very nice, sure better then my Summit special. What about the pass side, I am thinking about changing from my air/oil separator

[SSGNRDZ_28]

Thanks Jack. You can either do a dual input vented or both sides sealed. I suppose you could also do two vented cans but that would be extra expense and cost. These will fit on the front cross bar and also the two side bars. I need to test fit to find what works best.

[Jack B]

I would leave my drivers side in place, you cannot see it, it is low on the fender liner.

But, I would use yours on the pass side, I would remove the pcv valve and go into a vented can with a drain. I do not get anything into my can on the pass side. I run from the pcv valve into an air/oil separator, then, into the can.

Jack what are your thoughts/reasons on removing the PCV valve or keeping it in place?

[Jack B]

I am getting virtually no oil trapped in the separator. This probably points to a PCV valve that is not doing too much, maybe I am over thinking the situation and maybe there is no blow-by. This may also answer why the drivers side is spewing oil into the airbox, that last statement is a stretch.

Removing the pcv valve and going into a vented catch can will be far more effective and there is very little negative to the removal. This is a stretch, but, a maybe a faulty pcv system is why some cars lose so much oil. i thought the lack of baffling is why oil was getting into the airbox, maybe is is partially due to a pcv valve that is not working

I'm in as well

[Whitey]

I'm in too.

[TexasTonka]

I'm in 100% for either a dual inlet vented or two single inlet vented.

[ACR Steve]

Doug great work veryyyyy well done

Will this work with the new ACR's and will it be needed with the upgrade ?

Thanks, Steve. Yes it will be ACR compatible and I think the drivers side / airbox oil ingestion will be less but the general idea behind the catch can will still apply to 2016+ cars.

[mblgjr]

Yep. Want one.

[FSTENUF]

Yes count me in for a set. Track season will be here in the spring Great set up.

4. Maintenance of this system means you have to get rid of this gunk somehow - you can't just pour it back into the engine oil, and I'm sure the EPA would like you to do something with it other than dump it. That's why they want it burned off in the combustion chamber, your engine be damned.

So approximately how often in terms of miles does this require cleaning out? Does this account for a significant amount of oil between oil changes?

[mblgjr]

Typically just clean them out at every oil change.

[FLATOUT]

Very nice looking forward to getting one on my car.

[donk_316]

I would drain mine every fuel up! I wouldn't wait till an oil change.. No way. That could possibly be a lot of condensation / oil / gross milky coffee shit in there.

The ecoboost will fill a coffee cup per tank of fuel.

I know this wasn't directed at me, but if you have the catch can hooked to the intake manifold (and thus keeping the system under vacuum), the PCV valve needs to remain in place. If you run a vented setup, the PCV valve should be removed...one function of the PCV is to close in the event of a backfire to keep the pressure from entering the crankcase, so the valve essentially only flows one way. This picture should help explain:



When running a vented can, the vent serves two functions:

1. It vents excess crankcase pressure
2. It is the source of make up air

Because of that, the air needs to be able to flow both ways in order for the system to function properly. If you leave the PCV valve in place on a vented setup where you are running both valve covers to the can, you are essentially not allowing fresh air to flow back into the crankcase.

On a non-vented setup, you'd want to leave the PCV valve in place so you don't start pulling more oil into the system when the intake manifold is under heavy vacuum (idle and decel). The valve restricts the flow into the intake manifold under those conditions.
