Oil Separator

When facts are ignored and "beliefs" rule the day then the discussion is over...at least for me. I've made the point repeatedly that it's NOT about valve coaking and that the main benefit is cleaning the air as much as possible of any oil residue resulting from blow by. It's about overall cleaner running and preserving fuel octane.

Fact: A dual valve will clean better than a single valve during high acceleration.
Fact: Lower octane reduces HP
Fact: less oil being taken into the intake system is better all around
Fact: Beliefs don't change facts...LOL

The information is out there. The physics are proven. The HP gains from higher octane are documented. Cleaner air intake benefit should be obvious.
It's obviously your time and your money and your vehicle. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make em drink.

Been interesting for sure..................

Yeah I’m totally unpersuaded by your “facts” because they don’t make sense and proceed from a false premise. The point of a catch can is to prevent coking of the intake valves and, yes, to mitigate octane reduction through the introduction of oil vapor into the fuel. However, the one point you have consistently ignored in this conversation, and apparently have no answer for, is that there is no benefit to adding vacuum for the purpose of sucking crankcase vapor into your intake when it would not otherwise be happening. As far as I know (and no one here has posted anything to the contrary), leaving crankcase vapor in the crankcase is harmless and has no impact on octane, because it never makes it to the intake where your fuel is being injected. Since any crankcase vapor that gets pulled into your intake through the PCV system passes through the catch can(s), a single valve system does the job just fine.

Again, I’m not an expert, and i am open to learning more about this, but it’s clear to me that you don’t know more about it than I do.

Wasn't trying to persuade just trying to share information and documented facts. It's up to you what you do with it. You're welcome

Well...It's not a "claimed" better system it's just simple fact. Especially in a turbocharged vehicle you need a dual valve...not a dual catch can but a dual valve. You need to seriously do some research. It amazes me how ignorant people are on the subject given how much information there is out there. I am not meaning to poke at you just unscoring that I'm not giving you an opinion but rather regurgitating facts from reputable sources and the facts of how physics work from a pressure/ventilation standpoint. Under boost especially you need to create more vacuum than is possible with a single valve system. People that don't understand the difference between a single valve and dual valve catch can system should do some research and educate themselves. It really is quite interesting and you can only gain from the knowledge.

These boards are so full of half truths, mis informed opinions and straight up gossip that it's sometimes hard to make your way through it.

Here's a starting point

I don't know enough to debate you but I never trust a youtube video that has the comments disabled

I’m using an Elite Engineering catch can on Raptor with absolutely no issues. I also have a might mouse cc on z06 with no issues. Full Races dual catch can is a joke and has many issues

I need your help... I just got one of these, the e2-x. Do you happen to have any pictures of how yours is set up? I cant, and the shop wasn't able to figure out how to get it working properly. You dont happen to have a procharger as well do you?
