We're still moving along with this project! I should have another update this week or next week.Hows this been coming along i one company come out with a catch can curious how far we are from a Mishimoto one to hit market!!
5280Sapper Shooting you a PM! Hopefully you're still aroundI'd like to do some testing for ya! I leave on the 15th of january from Denver to Sand Hollow for Winter Jamboree then to Arizona and Nevada then to King of the Hammers for wheeling gunna get a lot of miles on the jeep.
Thanks everybody, I'll be able to post pricing once the pre-sale goes live next week!
We haven't pulled off the intake manifold, but no catch can is going to be 100% effective; some oil/fuel/water vapor is probably going to get by. This can is the same as we use on almost every catch can kit we make and we've had vehicles running them for thousands of miles with great results. The most telling projects have been on DI vehicles in which valve cleanings are a regular service (such as BMW N54/N55 engines) - our cans on these cars have consistently extended that interval by two or three times. While the only 100% effective way to keep all oil vapors out of the intake is to vent to atmosphere, our can has proven to be very effective in removing significant amounts of vapor from the blow-by gas.Have you guys pulled off intake manifolds after testing and are they dry? Do these have an integrated check valve? It took me 3 catch cans to finally find one that had no blow by through the can on my ls1, none of them were yours btw....lol.
Not trying to diminish your product at all just curious as i hate buying parts over again. But i know from experience there are some expensive cans out there that dont work well..."cough" rx performance.
It's true that blow-by and the burning of oil vapors has been a normal part of internal combustion engines since early EPA regulations banned draft tubes, but it can still be detrimental to the engine's performance. As I mentioned, many direct-injected vehicles require expensive valve cleanings to combat the effects of blow-by. The 3.6L Pentastar is port-injected, so valve coking isn't a major issue, but oil in the amounts we collected with this catch can reduce the effective octane of the combustion mixture and coat important sensors if left unchecked. Excessive oil in blow-by has also been known to cause issues with EGR systems over time. You may not see an immediate performance benefit, but keeping that oil out of the intake and the cylinder will keep your engine running its best far longer than letting it run through the engine.The small amount of oil that is returned into the intake to be combusted is minimal, and has been happening in manufactured engines for years... this mod is kind of a waste...0
I have pulled several intakes off and held them upside down to drain the oil out. When the oil is pooling up inside the manifold it can be a problem. This happened to both my vehicles and one only had 15k miles on it at the time. Happened to my friends 2018 5.0 too. The whole design sucks really.The small amount of oil that is returned into the intake to be combusted is minimal, and has been happening in manufactured engines for years... this mod is kind of a waste...0
Sorry for the delay in updating you all! We need to push the pre-sale launch back just a little bit; it will now start next Monday. I'll let you all know when the pre-sale is live!Any update on when pre-orders will be available?
