1fz-fe oil catch can post up your set ups!

[mudgudgeon]

Be careful that your catch can isn't too restrictive.

Lots of turbo diesel guys here and on other cruiser forums around the webs creating oil consumption issues because catch cans are too restrictive, and pressurising the crank case

+1 on that. I wanted to protect the turbo impeller so I dropped $500 in catch cans as insurance. Good news is that risk was mitigated and bought me time until I need to rebuilt top-end.

Also, make sure your catch can seals properly to prevent vacuum leaks (on PCV <> Intake Manifold circuit). You can also add an in-line valve between catch can and intake to isolate.

One quick question, can you keep the EGR system while adding an oil catch can as well? i have 1HD FTE engine. Thanks

Sure. My 94 is fully EGR'd with an oil catch can.

installed a oil seperator on my 80

had it on my mustang, before i ended up putting everything back to stock. it kept a decent amount of oil from recirculating back into the upper plenum. took me about 5 minutes. i used an oil seperator from lowes, and i used two barbed fittings to connect the hoses. i put a new pcv valve in...

Still running the same separator from 11 years ago. Prevented many miles and years worth of oil getting into the plenum. Not as pretty as the one I have in my tundra but it works the same.

Kinda dirty but I’ve had this KK Moon can in on the PCV side for a year +. Bout half full after 5k miles. Need to make it easier to remove and dump but it’s not often that it needs done either.

Looks clean, do you remember the name of the brand for this can?

 

[Kernal]

Wondering if a MUD vendor could come up with a catch can kit that worked well, not too big, not too small, looked kinda OEM, didn't have 6 feet of hoses draping over the engine, wasn't in the way when working on other components, and not crazy expensive, etc,etc

Here's my simple, effective 1FZ-FE solution. This is about how much oil vapor is condensed out of the breather tube over the course of 1 tank of gas, ~300mi of around town and mixed freeway driving, and has been consistent for quite some time now.

I think the part was $20 on Amazon, and about 5 minutes to cut the breather and stick it in-line. You could spend a lot more, but Im frugal that way...

This is the same can minus the molded hoses. There are similar ones out there for much less though.

The price is a bit steep when compared to the Amazon specials, but I’m going this route on my truck:

Thanks, yah I was hoping it would be a cheap one as well like the Amazon variants. I just like the look more. Oh well I will just go the generic route

I like the radium cans, but I think I would want the standard catch can instead of the Air/Oil separator - Return. To do it properly, you’d have to drill a hole in your oil pan for the oil to return, and splice into your coolant lines on the throttle body as well. I like the thought, just not the complexity.

I think Air/Oil separator isn’t necessary. I’d rather remove the fuel, oil, junk mixture than let it go back into oil pan to circulate in the motor and turbo.

I’ve got 188K miles on a turbo’d motor that wasn’t rebuilt or even HG replaced. I empty my catch cans like once a year when I change the oil.

If you’re blowing by sufficient vol to fill catch cans every month or so, you probably need a top-end rebuild not a bandaid.

Dual Radium catch cans…because turbo things.

I was just looking at my radium can and it’s not catching oil. But the outlet has oil in it. I’m using on of their PCV valves but it looks like you’re just running straight through the can?
Curious how it is with no valve.

well i'll be a damn idiot. I just realized I'm routing the crankcase breather into the PCV and then pre turbo and the PCV post TB. Need to swap those.... Don't build custom lines when you're tired.

Sorry for delay.
Yeah, what you said.

my can on the PCV side catches much more than my can between breather and intake.

lol was just about to say the same thing. love the radium catch can mounted there though, looks great!

same for me, I definitely catch enough oil in both to warrant having them both, but the pre-PCV can catches about 10x more. Part of that might be because the can is pre-PCV but I like knowing my PCV valve isn't getting clogged up with crud.

Seeing everyone's immaculate engine bays makes me feel like I'm committing cruiser abuse with how mine looks.
