Catch Can Filter
What purpose do filters on oil catch cans serve if boost and vacuum run through them? Wont they reduce or cause the boost vacuum to exit the system?

Re: Catch Can Filter
I use one so I don't send boost into my crankcase.

Re: Catch Can Filter
i would run it with out a filter. if there is a filter on it i would think that there would be little to no vaccum unless the filter is really restictive. if you are running a catch can with filter i dont see how it would be any better than if you just ran a strait filter

Re: Catch Can Filter
unless you'd like to suck up all the oily ---- commming from your crank case...you should use some sort of filtering media. I don't understand where everyones input about filter media creating vaccum and so on. Maybe you should search and figure out exactly how you need to set up a catch can system...and figure out what the exact purpose is so that you can better understand it.

Re: Catch Can Filter
I ran a filter on mine, but it wasn't hooked up to any source where it would see boost or vacuum. The filter was just to let the vapors escape.

Re: Catch Can Filter
I understand my setup, just why there are filters on some? I would think if you want to have boost and vacuum flow thru them then there shouldnt be any exit point until the intended location ( ie. pcv, IM, or preintake turbo)

I would love to do a setup with a preturbo slashcut, but I have a filter directly on the turbo. |
