Oil Catch Tank

[Lightspeed]

Keep reading from other forums about how cars are fitted with this.

 

What's it for and how much does it cost? Where to fix..etc.

 

Anyone care to tell blur blur me more about it?

like its name suggest....to catch oil vapours from the engine. Typically the vapours from the engine head will be routed back to your intake pipe to be burned in the engine....your throttle body will get dirty fast and slight (>0.5%) loss of power. So you install the oil catch can to catch all the oil instead of letting it burn in the engine. Unless you always redline your engine everyday or drive a turbocharged monster, if not its not necessary. I know several people who install it just for the poser value.

 

I got mine at $150 from Cartronics (dunno if they still have anymore stock) its very easy to install, I did mine myself

hi there..me tot of installing one in my Accent too.the purpose of the catch tank is..well..to catch evaporated oil rite?originally it is routed back to the intake rite?can i just install a breather cap on the cam cover?will that be okie?correct me if i'm wrong, as we all know when oil gets burned in ur engine reliabilty an emission suffers rite?Anyway, any other place that u noe of that can install the catch tank and how much? advices appeciated...

[Lightspeed]

Hmm...

 

Cartronics shifted already rite? you got their new addy???

 

thanks for the info dude!

[Slowpoke]

the problem with breather caps is on some high revving engines, there's so much oil vapours comming out that it condenses and drips all over the engine bay. I haven't personally came across such incidents, but someone told me it happens...

If you are really bent on not letting the oil vapours go back into the intake, an oil catch tank is better
