I think these are the same but want to make sure these are ok to use on my Vehicle .....






.

just make sure it come with 9mm fittings and you're good. All the cheaper ones like the ones u linked are all the same, pretty basic; just a inlet port, outlet port, drain and gauge. When you step up to the better ones like the 5zigen proracer catch tank then they are baffeled to make sure you catch as much oil in the blowby as possible.

Thank for the info bro . I just needed something simple ...LOL...

Noob question, but what exactly dose a catch can do..

The catch can retains vaporized oil that would normally be fed into the combustion chamber. You can get alot of problems if you get alot of oil into the combustion chamber. But if you don't drive your car very hard or are not turbo, I'm not sure if its really necessary.

well it goes between the pcv valve and intake manifold on our cars. It basically catches oil so it doesn't gunk up the intake manifold with a oily film. Also by catching oil and not allowing it to reack the intake stream you effectively decrease chances of pre dentonation/knock as oil in the combustion chamber with lower octane - which is a fuel stablizer.

I got this one for $35.00 from e-bay and the reason I got it cause I can stick steel wool in it and it will catch the oil better then just a empty container .....My car does need a catch can cause when I do my oil changes it only smokes at start up until the oil goes low cause it all goes to the intake , This will help improve my gas mileage too ... Thanks again guys ,

Thanks you are correct

im also looking into one...just to preserve the life of my engine. where did you get that on? ebay?

I recommend against steel wool.. the steel fibers might get sucked into your combustion chamber.

Do you know what other like screen mesh but the metal one ???

Yes here is the link they come in many colors....

p.s.... DOnt tell anyone else this is a seceret....LMAO j/k

I hear there are metal pads that some people use. its like steel wool but in pad form so it doesn't come apart. Personally I own a baffled catch can so it takes the place of the stuff people put in their catch cans.

Oh yea like the ones they use to clean pots ... it looks copper like ...

yea, i think that's it. Just make sure its nothing that can break up and get sucked into your engine.

I bought that one for my 01 too but it's in silver.

But I really have no idea where I can mount it in the engine bay.

Can you show one installed?

As soon as Mine Arrives I will share my pics with TRD .....

Sweet.

i fotgot that my setup is different .

yup, your vented setup is better for turblow charged cars

I know .... I'm just doing it so my car wont have all that oil in the plenum so when i start it up it smokes ....
