THE PROPER CATCH CAN SOLUTION FOR AN EVO

  • Recently, I relocated the battery to the boot on the Evo, which meant I needed to make up some new pipework for the air filter, and that meant the existing solution for the crank case breather no longer worked!
    So after a LOT of research...I settled on a twin catch can design, due to the fact the Evo has not one, but TWO breathers (on the inlet side and intake side). As there isn't an off the shelf solution for the car, I had to make one up (with the help of speeding.nu), and as there isn't a 'how to' anywhere I could find, I decided to make this video to show you how I installed it all.

    Not the Evo I was expecting, but nice job

    Congratulations Mythical Mark 😃. You have found an excellent solution to restore the functioning of the two breathers. Your twin catch can design made with speeding.nu is a true masterpiece. You led them to the perfect solution. I think they will sell the same kit they offered to you and it will become a bestseller. You are an excellent engineer because you manage to improve the original designs and take them to the next level. Excellent design, construction and assembly work. My best wishes for a happy and amazing 2022 to you and Malin. Bye 😃👍👍🎉

      Thankyou Mr. Superb! Speeding.nu were brilliant, so helpful. So far it seems to work very well on the car 😇

    on my Evo 6 the breather inlet you think is for letting air in is most certainly letting the air out on mine. I know because when i was taking stuff apart after I bought it to give stuff a good clean, i took the HKS RS induction pipe off which had the breather pipe attached to it, the induction pipe was coated with oily gunk. Its a 23 year old car and ive only owned it for a year so ive no idea how long the HKS RS pipe has been on for, quite possibly over 10 years, and the gunk inside from the breather was disgusting.... how its still on the original turbo from 1999 is mind boggling to me, i would have thought this gunk going into the turbo over time would damage it but its fine even after all this time..... im going to look at how to fit the AN10 adapter onto the rocker cover and go with a setup like youve got, looks good!! :)

      That is amazing! The front inlet side I believe is mainly to draw air in to then be pulled out by the outlet side (if that makes any sense at all) but that said, under certain load/throttle position, air will also be expelled from the inlet which is no doubt why you see it in the intake pipe and also the turbo/intake will be sucking in air too? It's all good fun though right?

    That looks a good set up. Can you make a follow up video to show what your cans are collecting, if anything? Is there a reason you do not vent back into the intake pipe all the time? I have seen lower CCP (Crank Case Pressure) by venting back to the intake.

    • @SoloLap

      I will do when I get more miles on the car 🤦‍♂️ I just wanted to avoid crap getting into the intake side, I could 100% run it back through though I guess!

    you said you hated radiums customer service but you wanted a specific kit built for YOUR standards, majority of companies wont do that. Radium's dual catch can setup is basically the same thing as you just did.

    • @SoloLap
      @SoloLap  ปีที่แล้ว

      When I contact a company and want to spend money with them, I expect a level of customer service and Radium just failed completely. Speeding.nu on the other hand talked me through options and put in a great deal of effort, and now they have a returning customer for life.

    It's more or less the same on the MX5 too but both pipes connected to the air intake which is completely black on the inside :/
    But dual cans the best setup too, some just put a breather filter on one side which makes no sense considering both pipes connected to the intake so both side expect sucking out.
    Is it not the same on the EVO as both pipes the cover was connected to actually suck so much air? Or do you think a turbo car the suction from the intake is boosted air so sucks more?

    • @SoloLap
      @SoloLap  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Never realised that on the mx5! One pipe at the back sucks under vacuum and the air filter side is more for drawing air in but still puts out oil too when there's no vacuum (I think!?)

      @@SoloLap Yeah sound right, otherwise you would think both would be connected to the intake. An interesting one the management of valve cover pressure/fumes.

    Im doing the same thing on my evo 6. But a guy from jdm life on facebook told me i could just block the hole on inlet manifoild, and use one can with 2x an10 and breather cap? Does it have to return in to the manifoild?:)

    • @SoloLap
      @SoloLap  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      He's wrong 😂 I did a lot of research for this as I've only heard of using 1 can in the past. The Evo 'circulates' the vapour and uses the inlet manifold to pull it through and the cam inlet to draw in air most of the time. So blocking off the manifold and running a can from pcv to cam inlet isn't providing the pull the car needs, so you'll probably end up with a build up of crap under the cam cover?

      @@666hawken yes these hoses I use are direct fit. My cam cover outlet is larger than oem though. The return hose was the hardest part to do, but with wd40 it does eventually slip on and all the way to the base. If you don't use braided line like me it might be easier.
