Drove about 200 miles and there is already oil in the filter, so it work really good.

That's a universal 14mm Cusco oil catch can...I think! It's pretty darn expensive though.

Goto Homedepot and go to the air compressor accessories section and get the Husky filter like the one posted by JTso.

CGPTSX06

It is the 9mm universal model.

So you have 2 oil catch can??? 1 from Cusco (the one near Strut Bar?) and 1 from Husky? (The thing @ the front?)

CGPTSX06

You can say that the one before the Cusco is the filter where it filter out the oil then it goes through the can then the manifold. After 200 miles of driving the line from the PCV valves all the way through the Cusco catch can is becoming brownish from the vapors and blowby but the line coming out of the Cusco to the intake manifold is really clear so it is definitely working.

what does this exactly do?

aaronng

The filter part is not really needed since the Cusco catches the oil and dirt.

CGPTSX06

Nope the filter catches oil from the vapors and Cusco doesn't filter out anything but the filter complements the Cusco canthough. I will post pics for you to see how much oil it is already cumulated after 300 miles on the filter.

CGPTSX06

Nope you are wrong the filter catches oil from the vapors coming out the PCV and Cusco doesn't filter out anything but the filter complements the Cusco can though. I will post pics for you to see how much oil it is already cumulated after 300 miles on the filter.

If the filter catches the oil, then what is the point of the Cusco catch can then?

Very nice work

SoCaliTrojan

what kind of floor mat are you sporting? It looks like it's on top of the dead pedal and partially covering your gas pedal?

CGPTSX06

I got the mat from Pepboys, it just move up every now and then so I have to move it down occasionally no big deal.

kaliraver69

I got all of the parts to install my catch can including a Husky container but I was wondering I see where one of the pipe goes (left pipe) but if you were to do it without the Cusco where would the other line (right line) go?

aaronng

One end goes into the tube that comes out near the alternator. Follow that tube underneath the intake manifold cover and that's where the other end goes.

kaliraver69

Thanks i'll take a look today, BTW is the intake manifold one easy to access or do I have to do some work to locate it?

aaronng

Where it says "DOHC i-VTEC" on the plastic cover, you'll see 2 nuts. Use a socket to loosen and remove them. Take care not to drop them down into your engine bay. Pull the cover off and you'll see the port right in front of your face. It's much easier than the one next to the alternator.

Oh, and when you put the plastic cover back on, don't overtighten the nuts. Those bolts are easy to snap.

kaliraver69

Cool, thanks for the info.

Sorry newbi to this oil catch thing.

what is it? so you have 3 oil filters now instead of OEM's 1?

There isn't an OEM one.

The oil catch cans catch oil...they don't "filter" the oil (like the oil filter).

Basically it catches the oil and vapors that would have been sucked into the air intake and burned off. The oil and vapors become the gunk inside your intake, and it can create deposits when burned off (since it's travelling with the air on its way to the injectors). An oil catch can sits between the engine and the intake and takes out all of that gunk before it can get to the intake.

That's basically what an oil catch can is for...

aaronng

It doesn't really cause gunk in your intake. The point at which the vapor is reintroduced is in the intake manifold. It won't mess up your intake. Oil catch cans came about because street cars were being tuned to the highest octane posible. When oil vapor enters the combustion chamber, it reduces the octane rating of your intake charge (i.e. making your intake charge more prone to pre-ignition). So to prevent pre-ignition, they made oil catch cans.
