Raptor Air Oil Catch Can

[mudblood]

Here is the link. It is the single inlet which is the one to use. They come in different colors I have one black and one polished. They also offer other colors if you want but to me it made no difference and took the in stock products.

The cans are all the same the reason there are vehicle drop downs is for the mounting provisions. They on some vehicle already have fabbed brackets to mount. I did not use any of them just so I could mount mine as far away from the heat of the engine as possible. As you can see in the above picture it catches quite a bit of the condensation in the motor as well. This dirty water would have otherwise just been routed back through the intake..

RX Catch Can w/ Single Check Valve

Thanks for sharing buddy.

To those noticing the water I had a catch can in a previous vehicle which froze causing back pressure in the crank case. Made a nice mess when oil started spewing out the dip stick. Not worth it.

I had that happen on my street harley truck. Short trips only, so the condensation built up in the PCV line and froze solid one day, blew a valve cover gasket out from the pressure building up with a frozen PCV line. Nice oily mess in 20* weather, on my only daily driver that I had to fix that same night by pulling the valve cover off, reseating the gasket, reinstalling, thawing out and blowing out the PCV lines lol. After that I reinstalled the factory insulation on the PCV hoses that had been deleted when I converted it to an eaton s/c.

About 1000 miles Fall through Winter. Whipple Supercharged.

So I let it sit now for two days you can see the very little bit of oil on top and the small amount of water on the bottom,
but that crap in the middle is probably that shit-power robbing 10%+ ethanol (which is full of water) crap they force us to use here in NY.

Sorry Wilson. LOL

I'm going to let it sit for a month and see if it separates any more.

Unless someone else can explain what it is.

The fact that it was -40 outside was probably the biggest factor that no amount of regular draining (which was done) or maintenance could counter. Just wanted to throw it out there for guys to be aware of. There's a reason OEM's don't equip these from the factory and it's because they need their vehicles to withstand all climates. Those in milder climates will likely never have problems.

I know a lot of guys with the turbo diesels will simply run a tube out of the vent down somewhere clear and plug the hole in the intake. Not sure if that's a smart idea for a N/A engine, though I can't see why not. Would be interested in hearing others' thoughts on that.

Not sure about the raptor, but with my SRT4 it needs to be hooked up to the intake in order to maintain the flow (positive pressure from the valve cover/vacuum from the intake) to keep it venting properly, although boosted vehicles have the opposite effect if there isn't a check valve in place to keep the positive manifold pressure from finding it's way back to the PCV. With a N/A motor it doesn't sound like a check valve is needed and the flow would be constant, so I'd be hesitant to just let the PCV breath externally, probably won't get the same flow rate...

No check valve in the Whipple system the vent tube connects just before going into the compressor so it will have negative pressure all the time.
I would imagine the Eaton compressor system is the same way.
I don't know what the Procharger does either but since it's a law to recirculate PCV emissions I'm sure they figured it out.

Nice, no need for a check valve then. On my SRT4 the vent tube mates back in after the turbo...

The JLT unit is looking pretty good right about now. I like the 'unscrew cup' design apposed to the drain plug. I have a Home Depot water separator off of an air compressor on my SRT4 that unscrews and it makes it VERY easy to empty. I can get away with ghetto mods on the Neon, but the Raptor is gonna be spoiled.

 

[MTF]

You can unscrew the Moroso can with the drain plug too. The drain plug just makes it easier. IMHO

 

[Stang]

I have the black Moroso with no drain. It just unscrews. Can't remember which model.

I did not care for the Procharger system. They blocked off the passenger side completely and just ran the drivers side to a plastic barb that pushed into the end of the air filter. I changed mine over to a breather tank on each side and welded bungs on the tube right before the supercharger. The breathers are mounted back on the firewall.

For the most part you have your water on the bottom, oil on the top and an emulsion in the middle which if analyzed would most likely consist of a water oil mixture, some alcohol residue, different additives that have separated out of the oil, and exhaust gas byproducts.
