Custom Oil Catch Can! Mazdaspeed3 (Episode 38)

[@r33skylineprojects59]

What part of the catch can has baffles ? Looks like the oil that comes out of the head will come right out ! No plates or steel wool mesh installed is no good . Nice welding tho and fab work .

[@orbitaljellyfish808]

You’re thinking of an air-oil separator, where baffles are for a closed system returning separated air back into the engine, but without the octane-reducing blowby sludge. This setup is an old school “breather box” venting that gunk to atmosphere, which stinks (especially in summer) but works quite well. This is the first adequate breather setup I’ve seen with all the -10 fittings. You can’t overdo crankcase ventilation but most setups drastically underdo it and end up with both excessive pressure behind the pistons and garbage sludging up the intake (reducing inter cooler efficiency, and the oil mist itself is quite low octane). For these reasons a stout breather setup is a win-win.

Looks good but no baffle ?

[@WZ_TV]

Bill Robertson thanks man! Im glad you liked the build. And yes i hate welding aluminum hahah i rather weld steel all day!

[@bohdanko90]

Very nice, clean work. What bandsaw is that you used to cut the aluminum?

[@WZ_TV]

Thank you. Lowes used to sell it. I belive is a Porter Cable.

[@bryanmunoz4005]

[@WZ_TV]

atl speed technology let make the occ not be an overkill for your engine 😉

[@ariancasas1504]

Great 👍

[@SIRICKO]

Breather tank not a catch can.

[@WZ_TV]

montiericko_ it’ll still catch oil tho!

[@SIRICKO]

@@WZ_TV A catch can separates oil and air but all this do is vent blow by from the block or head.

[@WZ_TV]

montiericko_ yeah i guess you right

[@bendegruchy4460]

Stuff it full of stainless steel wool then its a catch can

[@RazoE]

Too bad everything is custom fitted, because you could make a fortune selling replacement parts for the community. 👍🏻

[@WZ_TV]

RazoE not really bro. Prices are too competitive already. I wouldnt be making much profit for the amount of work it requires!
