I installed the Moroso catch can on my '14 scab while it was still on the dealer lot.
I changed some of the components of the kit using different hoses, connectors, O-rings, retaining screen and installed more of the mesh screen material and some other details were changed too.
My Raptor has 2000 miles on the clock and I performed it's first oil change today.
I also opened up the Moroso catch can to dump it out for the first time.
There was a significant amount of oil in it. I'm happy with the Moroso and it's ability to keep the oil out of the intake.
Here is a description of the kit and what I improvised on.
Moroso Air/Oil Catch Can Kit #85607 – small body (black anodize).
I had the stainless steel bracket powder coated (black) (compound TGIC Polyester) (JR Powder Coating) The Moroso bracket is made from series 409 stainless steel (crap stainless steel).
I buffed down all the edges on the bracket because it had sharp edges and corners everywhere. I used a Norton Bear Tex wheel for this process. Then I had it powder coated. ($40)
I fitted the Moroso catch can with XRP 90 deg aluminum fittings (black anodize) (size -8 AN) (it screws into the catch can with 3/8-18 NPT)
I used teflon tape on the NPT threads of the fittings and copper anti-seize grease on the straight thread for the hose fittings.
I fitted the Russell Performance hose with XRP straight barbed aluminum fittings (black anodized)(size -8 AN)
I used Russell Performance Twist-Lok hose (color is Blue). It’s a push-on hose with a CPE synthetic rubber liner (chlorinated polyethylene) with a reinforced fabric braid (size -8 AN/.500” I.D.)
(lengths 13.” and 20.”) (rated for 250 psi) (temp range -40 to +350 F). I ordered it from Summit Racing (10 ft. length)
I bought an extra pcv to induction hose with the fittings from FordParts.com and removed the hose from fittings with a heat gun.
I kept the original one from the Raptor just in case the Moroso leaks (I'm sure it won't though)
I used Norma Torro hose clamps (German Style) to secure the hose to the barbs (material is W4 which is a great 300 series SS)
Installed a Fluorocarbon (FKM) 75-durometer (black) o-ring (size -135) for the catch can. Installed a Viton Fluorocarbon o-ring for the Ford nipples.
I bought “Super Lube” a silicon o-ring grease to lube the o-rings with. (made for Fluorocarbon o-rings)
I purchased an extra Moroso mesh screen for the catch can (part #85472060/4ft.) thru Lethal Performance. I had to cut it in half and then roll it up with the ones in the catch can for each chamber.
I purchased 3/8 inch and 1/4 inch washers for the 1/4-20 bracket bolts and 10mm strut tower studs.
I purchased new Ford Nylock nuts for the tower bracket hold down studs, as per Ford service manual. Tighten new Nylock nuts down to 30 lb-ft.
I purchased the XRP fittings from TMR in Orange, California, 714-771-1348
I improvised the retainer plate for the mesh screen. It is cheap cast aluminum .030 thick. I made my own retaining plate made out of 6061-T6 that is .125 thick.
Seeing how much oil was trapped in this kit, I should have purchased the large Moroso catch can.
The Moroso captured 60 ml of oil (2.0 fl oz).
