i bought an agp oil catch can, the one made for the evo x. and of course it is installed on the ventilation/breather side.(passenger side). but iv seen other people with another catch can on the driver said (recirculation can). should i do that too? and would another agp oil catch can work in the different spot?

i know for a fact the oil catch can is needed on the one side. but is the other side absolutely neccesary?

 

[wicked_evo11]

really no help at all?
i see some evos with 2 oil catch can. and im wondering if i need both? or is one setup is fine

My install pics are there... Im the only one with a catch can mounted in this location that I know of. The Greddy can is much bigger than most of the ones made specifically for our car. I ran coolant hoses off the pcv and recirc-to-intake side of valve cover into a brass T union then into the can, then ran the other side of the can to the intake. I plugged the intake manifold bung.

okay this will make things easier to understand. this is not my car but this is the two catch can setup im talking about.

circle in yellow marked with A is the usual setup. this is the common setup and is what im gonna be running.

circle in blue marked with B is the second catch can im speaking of. is this one needed? and i dont know where those hose run to. is this second can neccessary>

PCV/intake side into T --->catch can--->intake

PLUG INTAKE MANIFOLD

You do NOT need two. This guy just used less hose but 2 cans instead.

 

[wicked_evo11]

hmm im still very confused. sorry im a new to the catch can thing. i can see your hose from he driver side going into the catch can. which hose is that?

 

[Stark Industries]

there are two ports on the valve cover that release the excess pressures. As you are looking at the block, there is one facing you and one on the upper right hand corner.
The one facing you is the PCV and the one on the right is usually recirculated to the air intake.

You can take these two ports that relieve the pressures, combine into one unioned hose and plug into the catch can.
The other side of the catch can needs to be run back into the air intake. (or you can vta/use a breather and be kinda nasty.)

The remaining bung is on the intake manifold. You will need to plug it.

OOoooHHHhhh okay i gotcha now. would plugging that remaining bung on the intake mani have an harmful effect?

 

[Stark Industries]

nope. Its just a recirculation thing but since the set up is recirculating into the air intake, youre good to go.

 

[wicked_evo11]

okay so lemme sum this up. correct me if im wrong. the catch can will have only 2 bung, theres gonna be a total of three hoses going into the can right?
but im gonna have to get it so all 2 of the hose connects to eachother and into the catch can? then i just plug off the bung on the intake mani

 

[wicked_evo11]

i get confused too quickly. if its not a bother can you take a picture of the hose on the driver side and how you routed it to the catch can?

holla

you can see it looping over the uicp in the 2nd picture

 

[Stark Industries]

then its just a straight shot across from exhaust side of catch can to the air intake bung.

 

[wicked_evo11]

i can see it looping over the uicp into the catch can. but is the other end going to the intake pipe? and if it is going into the intkae pipe does this acts as a vacuum?

 

[wicked_evo11]

sorry if im driving you insane lol i just wanna be 100% sure

 

[Stark Industries]

the one coming from exhaust side of can is running parallel behind the one you see looping over the uicp to the T junction. It goes directly to the air intake, straight shot.

I have them zip tied to the strut bar and will probably need some thermal tape soon just to ensure they dont drop down (highly unlikely) and touch the exhaust mani.
