- Emptying made easier with the included drain tap
- A dipstick for simple level inspection.
- Dipstick level set just below 0.4L for optimal breathing
- Compatible with engine cover, so it can stay in place following installation
- High quality, stainless steel hoses with black braiding
- Hoses are resistant to pressure expansion and vacuum collapse
- Hose end fittings used are compatible with the OEM connections
- Inner tube of the hose is constructed from anti-static, smooth, fuel resistant nitrile rubber.
- Hose outer cover is constructed from reinforced stainless-steel wire braid, consisting of partial inner braid & full cover outer braiding.
- You will not need to modify any original equipment which means this kit is fully reversible.
In house testing has proven that our oil catch can assist in helping the engine breathe and perform more efficiently by reducing the carbon build up. We would recommend for any owner to seriously consider this product, not only if they are planning on increasing the power of the vehicle, but also to prolong the efficiency of the vehicle’s engine. Knowing that this is a serviceable part that will need emptying on occasion (time period will vary depending on use) we wanted to make it as user friendly as possible. This thought process is what led to us incorporating both the drain tap and dipstick, after various versions being trialled, we are very pleased with the simple yet effective solution.
Please note, this part will only fit if you have OEM engine mounts. This will not fit those vehicles with uprated engine mounts.
Using the 35+ years of inherent knowledge within the business we worked on how to combine a presentable and tidy aesthetic with functionality and reliability. This resulted in a lines made up of an anti-static, smooth, fuel resistant, nitrile rubber inner tube and a reinforced, stainless steel, black, wire braided outer cover. The outer layer of the stainless steel comprises of a partial inner braid and a fuller outer braid, meaning it will not be effected by vacuum collapse or pressure expansion.
The allowing for the catch can to perform at its best required the braided lines to be near components of the engine that are considerably warm when the car is running. We overcome this by sourcing a heat resistant cover and positioning it to have the greatest possible protection. This not only means the entire kit will function within a clearly defined temperature range -54°C to +150°C (-65°F to +300°F), but it also allows for the engine cover to remain in place after installation, instead of having to remove it permanently.
