ATTN: BSH + Race Catch Can Owners...

[KeVmO]

is this normal?... i'm assuming it isn't... oil is "bubbling" from the filter

also this is a pic of the install which phil said was correct..

what else could be wrong?... i know it smoking a little is normal... but... the filter on top of the can went from being red to black now... and it's only been like a week

 

[KeVmO]

btw i took the filter off.. the can is nowhere near full as it's only been about 400 miles since i installed it

A VTA setup will be messy. The vapors condense at the filter and soak it.

will the stank of oil make it's way into the cockpit?

doubtful plus very little oil is actually what is seperated from the crankcase fumes. Maybe about 5% the other is mostly water and gas.

 

[nintendodude]

so, the stank of gas is going to get into the cockpit?

Shouldn't you smell the fumes in a vent type can? Unless you turn recirculation mode on.

no expert but the can only sees air movement under pressure or while boosting so youll be moving, with that amount of air moving past you and the small vent you shouldn't really smell much, maybe a wiff or two here or there, IDK for sure probably not going VTA myself.

 

[KeVmO]

yes but i use recirc mode so no i dont smell it... it's kinda spitting oil in a small radius around the filter...

 

[stringshifter6]

I would say that's normal and expected.

 

[Treadmarks]

A quality catch can should separate liquid from vapor. It is either connected wrong, or a poor design, or you have more blowby than the design/size can handle. :thumbsup:

awaiting BSH to answer!

Bump, I'm interested in this as well.

 

[TOE_FAST]

Its an atmospheric vent...isnt it supposed to send it out through the filter like that? is there anything internally thats supposed to vaporize the liquid? I mean it is a fluid that goes through there all the way to the filter - its not like your intake where only air goes through the filter!

Ill be curious as well to hear what BSH says.

good luck OP
