Catch Cans

Sounds like using BG44K is a good idea. Just have to find a dealer here in Finland or if ebay serves.

I used Liqui Moly from the local Motonet, it is as good as anything else you pour down the fuel line. As the valves are not being washed in GDI engines.
I noticed some improvement in engine response, maybe the fumes get in touch with valve covers. Also catch can filled up with more crap than usually.

What catch can do you have fitted?

A generic one, no filter, nothing special. Just placed it to the empty slot between battery and front light. Slightly lower than the rocker cover and intake, allows gunk to slide down to the catch can when engine is turned off.

Thanks Ragnarok, will get Liquid Moly asap. Did you get the catch can from Motonet also?

Edit: Is it this one:



...or this one (valve cleaner):

No catch can is a generic one from ebay uk. Hoses require some work as the diameter sizes differ at ends... mine is far from beautiful but it works and does not leak. If you can find correct sized hoses you should use them.

Just measured my THP PCV (Front ) pipe diameter and its 19mm
Think someone, maybe Gaz, wanted to know that when i did it. (Those clamps are a bugger- Long nose pliers and prise the pipe off with a flat head screwdriver)

The catch can Ive gone for is the Saikou Michi can, but getting problems posting the link

So go to search on ebay for that title

Have had an email exchange with the seller, and it seems to be a pretty good product
Most cans have 15mm inlets/oulets, but Ive measured my PCV pipe exit and its 19mm
This is a 19mm can
If you want to wait until Ive received it to give you my thoughts, then feel free.

Thought about going direct to the supplier in the States, but its on a plate here.
So that's what Ive done

Interesting, keep us updated as I am interested in this to get rid of my bubblegum-fix.

Seconded.

Main problem is location. There are 2 areas- one where Cyclone has put his- about 6 foot tubing needed, bit of jiggery pokery to get the can permanently fixed, but then looking at the size of this can, access to the drain cock could be awkward.

Secondly LHS of engine, next to the engine mount, but that's a long pipe run, and if you want to fit a second catch can for the rear PCV then that's where it would go.

Will suss it out more easily, when the Unit is here

Will wait for a dry day to do it. That will be May 2014 then LOL
