@williamvanpool6692 5 жыл бұрын

I'm sure you've seen the info of drilling a small hole in the intercooler. I am wondering if before installing the catch can system (which I am installing) if it would help clean the intercooler by drilling the hole and letting it blow out the already present gunk and then inserting a screw with a rubber washer into the hole. Do you think it even necessary to drain the intercooler before installing can system? I would not want that stuff leaking out in the future. Thanks for the video.

I will be checking with the dealer to see if the truck I'm interested in has a catch can. If not I will be getting one for my truck. I just wanted to say that I really appreciate the detail you have gone into. This is so well done that even an amateur could do this. I have saved this to my watch later and will be using it when I install my catch can. Thanks for putting this out there for us DIY'ers. Wayne

So, I've been a Subaru and Honda tech for over a decade, and this was the cure for a lot of oil consumption problems along with turbo issues. I have installed a bunch of Air Oil Separators (AOS). I had a friend that had an ECOBOOST, and about 5 years ago, I conjured up a COBB brand AOS for a Subaru to work on his truck. I am glad to see there is specific ones being made for the trucks now. My only complaint about this kit that you installed, is the fact that it has an oil cap fresh air return, it's not needed according to your install. The filtered fresh air could have been hooked up to the valve cover that ends up getting plugged, without the need for the oil cap. Just an observation.

2 years ago I bought a brand new 2017 Ford F150 2.7L Vsick ecoboost. I have only owned Ford when it was a choice, and in that time, I've never had a single major problem with any of them. That being said, the truck I have now is by far the best vehicle I have ever driven, and I have driven pretty much all of them known to man. Nothing compares to it. I read some people's comments about being glad they stuck with the v8, or they held out for such and such reasons and the salesman told. Me to wait a year, so on an so forth. To all those people, thank you! If you hadn't chickened out, or thought your buddies would make fun of you for driving a v6 that will perform plastic surgery on the v8 all day. Thank you! It makes it all the more enjoyable! I would also like to say that I'm grateful that we no longer live in the days where automakers are making crap cars. Every new vehicle on the road seems to be a work of art and unfortunately, this is most likely our grand finale for combustion engine lovers. The market is swerving in the wrong direction again, and what haven't they learned about not listening to the consumer? Absolutely nothing! If they do know or don't know, we still end up suffering for it. It's all but guaranteed when new music can't even be laughed at because of the seriousness of the implications. Milli vanilli? Fine young cannibals? Drop dead Fred? There's a connection there and it's horrific. I digress, all this green nonsense makes me sick! And I fear it's only going to get worse year after year until once again, we stop buying their trash. I won't just because they tell us to. My point is, anyone on the fence about an ecoboost purchase, I say you go car shopping naked because you're gonna feel that way once you drive away in one. Easy to clean, spacious, powerful, fast, luxurious, intimidating, and complimenting in every way. I had to throw that last part in there to help differentiate between the truck and my ex-wife. Easy to clean a couple buckets of ribs, but that's Chevy talk. BUY THE NEW FORD F150 ECOBOOST AND NEVER LOOK BACK!!! otherwise, you'll be like everyone else on here crying about it! Hahaha! I'm just playin everybody. I bought happiness, no doubt about it. Thanks for hearing me out! Tell your loved ones daily how much they mean to you, and remember that it's mutual to find your best. Everyone prefers and deserves our best, and when it's working, none of us are strangers. Today is gonna be a great day!

A Catch Can is the single most important accessory for any Direct Injected, Turbo Direct Injected, and even any boosted (Turbo/SuperCharged) Engine you can install. The amount of oil these remove from the PCV System and stopping oil from going back into the intake is crazy. I also use these on Non Direct Engines as well, such as the LS Engines, Ford Modular Engines, and any engine running 9.9:1 or Higher Static Compression Ratio. I use the Elite Engineering High Capacity Cans with a Clean Side Separator and One Way Check Valves. Now, I was told to install the Clean side Separator port, to the intake tube, after the MAF, because it can cause issues with pressure difference to the MAF. No, I don't know if there is any truth to this, but that is how I do it. Also, I noticed you installed the Catch Can itself behind the grille. Seems like an Odd place because it makes it difficult to drain the can being behind the grille. I have seen them catch 16-20-Oz. of Oil Residue between oil changes.

@RobertKohut 4 жыл бұрын

Nice!! A point to keep in mind. An NA engine has a clean side and a dirty side to the PCV system. A catch can is only required on the passenger side of the PCV system. A boosted engine has two dirty sides. Under vacuum the passenger side is the dirty side and under boost the drivers side is the dirty side. So to ensure the oil vapour separator system is effective on a boosted engine it needs to capture the vapours from both sides of the PCV system, like in this example.

How about just running 2 hoses from both sides of the valve covers straight down close to the ground and just simply cap the intake holes ? That’s exactly how it is from the factory on the big rigs, and those are all turbocharged. Dirty oil vapors are vented out and nothing dirty comes back in the intake system. You might install a small catch can on both hoses if you’re concerned about the environment.

Starting in 2018, Ford add port fuel injection in addition to direct injections, so the back of intake valves are getting clean, however it would be nice to keep as much oil vapor and whatever else out the combustion chamber. I probably should still buy a catch can kit and install it. One for my 2019 F150, my 2014 Turbo Cruze(PFI), my 2000 Regal GS supercharged and my 1986 Buick Regal Grand National.

The nipple you cap on the drivers side cam cover is actually a vacuum under high boost (WOT) and draws crankcase vapours through the turbo and the intercooler (pre kit install). The secondary problem with the EcoBoost v6 is that crud builds up in the intercooler and under high boost (WOT) it gets pushed into the intake and cylinders causing yet more problems.

A great detailed video. Lots of thorough explanations and step by step directions. I do wonder why the manufacturers don't install these devices at the factory when they build these vehicles. It seems that by design they leave it out to promote an early engine failure with very costly repairs. By installing the catch can it minimizes early engine damage. Since this is not an original equipment from the factory it could be an excuse for the manufacturer to use to tell the purchaser they voided the new car warranty. Great work on your video.

@bart99gt 5 жыл бұрын

In an age where manufacturers are trying to reduce the amount of owner maintenance on a vehicle, a catch can would run counter to that, as they need to be emptied fairly often. A manufacturer can't simply allow these to drain to the ground without running afoul of the EPA. It isn't that they don't understand that a catch can (or weep hole) would help matters, but they have restrictions placed on them that makes such solutions impractical or illegal.

Just to note something though for those finding with newer vehicles that are coming across this video; the Gen 2 Ecoboost engines (both the 2.7 and 3.5), which first started to be installed in vehicles in 2017, have both direct injection and port injection to clear up this issue. Catch can is no longer completely required to keep the valves clean, but it's still a recommended addition on boosted engines. Just not nearly as required as it was on the Gen 1 engines. Great video and explanations though. Definitely enjoyed watching this

Since I first heard about this issue with the Ecoboost (and other direct injected engines) I said - why not add a catch. I'm glad to see that someone finally addressed it. I added a catch can to my 2015 5.0L Mustang the minute I put a Whipple charger on it and was shocked at how much oil vapor it caught between oil changes. Catch cans have been around for years. It would be nice if Ford (and other manufacturers) added one from the factory or at least offered it as an option.

Great video! Very insightful and more importantly true. Catch cans diffidently work and pay dividends. However! Two very important pieces of information that I think are missing for our viewers to make an informed decision about weather to install or not install a catch can on a new engine. First and foremost…as soon as you drill and install all those fittings on your let’s say new Ford eco boost engine, you just VOIDED your warranty. If you are bringing your new vehicle into the dealer for any warranty repair and the Ford Tech sees that catch can installed, the dealer and Ford will be more than happy to deny your warranty repair claim. Second and just as important…if you live in the state of Kalifornia and the vehicle is over 4 years old and your bringing the vehicle in for its required smog certification, and the tech opens the hood and sees the catch can with the holes and hoses drilled into the air box and the PCV basically bypassed and negating how the smog system was designed by the manufacturer and approved by C.A.R.B., you will never pass smog and get the required certification. If your ok with all the above, by all means go ahead and install the catch can.

@rickwiggins283 Жыл бұрын

I installed this same catch can in my 2013 F-150 3.5 Ecoboost. It catches about a 1/2 Dixie-cup of fluid between oil changes. One tip is to not use the drain tube because the fluid cakes up a little and I have to poke up into the drain port with a small section of wire to get it to drain. The area below the can is cramped, but I just use a small disposable mixing cup or cut down a Dixie cup and drain it every couple thousand miles.

Usually 3 to about 5 oz and 5,000 miles of driving, and if you really careful about it, the oil that separates out of the water cuz it's usually about a 50/50 mix, the oil can be recovered and returned to your crankcase. There is no reason whatsoever to waste it.

Love your instructional videos. Thank you for sharing your talents. On this topic I do have a question. While I don’t have an eco boost engine I do own a 2019 Mustang GT with the 5.0 Coyote which as you know has the dual multi port / direct injection system. I added a JLT oil separator to the passenger side and am amazed at how much oil is captured between changes. My question is: recommendations vary as to also adding a drivers side separator but most commenters seem to say that the overwhelming majority of blow-by comes from the passenger side only. Do you have an opinion one way or the other? Thanks again, Dennis

@Powerstroke98 11 ай бұрын

On my F150 3.5 Eb, I am taking only from the passenger side, and it seems to be working quite well. I drain once every month, and my catch can is in the engine compartment, so very easy to empty. Never hurts to check the oil once per month either, and of all the crud that comes out into the catch-can, my oil level is always right where it should be!

Any engine can benefit from a catch can to prevent contaminating the inlet stream and intake valves. I had installed one since day one on my 2014 F150 naturally aspirated 3.7 liter V6, even at relatively low mileage, between each oil change (6 months) it accumulates about 1 to 1.5 ounces of oil in it. Blow-by oil and contaminants that I'd rather drain out instead of send back thru the engine.

Why what's up with a catch can is it to collect all the parts that are falling off from the products you are selling 😂 please go back to making a real car for the price your selling them for in the first place come on I've gotten some older cars I'll sell you for 50000.

I bought a 2017 Fusion 2.0 EcoBoost, also purchased an extended warranty from Ford. I asked the service manager if I could have an aftermarket catch can installed by them at my cost and he said it would void the warranty because it's not a Ford part. He said if it was a Ford part meant for this year/make/model/engine it would be fine, so I guess I'm screwed. They don't want to extend the longevity of this engine UNDER WARRANTY and would rather do more work when the carbon buildup is excessive...

I installed a DIY version of this system using an air-dryer from Princess Auto (Canadian version of Excess Cargo). Added a second smaller air-dryer to the left side aned piped it into the intake as well. I have less than 120,000 miles on my 2012 F-150 with the 3.5 liter Ecoboost. Didn't check the fluid levels in the reservoirs for about 3,000 miles. One day I'm under the hood doing usual checks, and I noticed the reservoirs were both almost full!! I poured out almost 2 cups of this turgid babyshittan colored fluid that had a very strong gas/oil smell. I was amazed at how much was trapped in such a short period of time. Removed the intake manifold to check he intake valves, and all were coked with the burnt on deposits. "Moderate" amount on front two intake valves, to heavier deposits on the middle intake valves to even larger deposits on the last two intake valves. Not sure what I'll do to clean them. Somewhat reluctant to chip off the deposits, as I'd rather they didn't drop into the cylinder and then to get trapped between the piston and cylinder wall. That wouldn't end well. I'd love to see what you recommend for cleaning the deposits. Not convinced Seafoam or the CRC product would have much impact on he baked on carbon.
