RADIUM ENGINEERING CCV CATCH CAN KIT INSTALL! | FOCUS RS

[@gbass7328]

Adam - fyi, I just updated my CCV Radium install for better hose routing and cable management. I emailed Radium 4 photos showing what I did. This is the body of most of that email. Regarding the CC install instructions and the fuel line coming up to the fuel pump, I just thought I’d update you on what I did a little different with hose length and routing for the CCV catch can, Focus RS application. Notice that a longer (18in) hose for the CCV can inlet port coming from the valve cover connector, and locating the connector pointing in the OE direction allows the fuel line not to be forced up by the hose as installed in your directions. The 2 can hoses are tie wrapped together in 2 places to avoid the clutch hydraulic line behind them. That’s a detail but the hoses don’t touch anything back there. Also, I was able to tie wrap the pump control line with it’s stand off to the pump bracket avoiding crimping it against the bracket as shown in the directions.

Clean engine man love to work on them that way, nice install…. Ready to purchase my double catch cans from RADIUM. thanks for the video

[@xtr970]

Hi Adam , and many thanks for your video, very good. Can you confirm that the high orientable port of the cath can is oil-cleaned air? Thank you

[@myview1875]

@7.00 from experience of fitting a brass fixing to a new hose pipe I found dipping the tube end into warm water for a bit softened the tube a bit to allow the insertion of the brass fitting easier. Not sure for your application here if it would be possible to do but just a thought. 😊.

This catch can works great on my Focus RS. Only problem is if the hose on the bottom used for evacuation falls off or comes loose, as I just discovered, the can won’t serve its purpose, as it requires vacuum to work...so unfortunately found it disconnected, connected it back so now it should work again as designed.

[@scottie74]

great video as per adam 👏🏻 so good to see you are actually doing the mods and not just trying to make money and get famous off youtube and have someone else do the installs while you fanny about with the camera 👍🏼 can i ask is this install something that’s necessary for going stage two ? keep up the great work dude

[@AdamRainey]

It isn't necessary at all no, just looks cool in the engine bay mostly lol Cheers :)

[@triathleteover5030]

Great video. Very informative and helpful. I'm able to locate the ccv and pcv of my ford explorer 2.0 ecoboost which is by the way same with your engine. I just have a question on the ccv side of your catch can. The ccv valve is the outlet going to the inlet of your catch can, and the outlet of your catch can is going to the turbo intake?

[@darrengardner7724]

Hi Adam have you drained the catch can yet? Was there a lot of oil? Over how many miles?

[@AdamRainey]

I've checked it a couple of times now and there hasn't been enough oil to warrant draining so CCV side looks to blow very little oil

[@darrengardner7724]

Adam Rainey oh ok. So will you look to change to a pvc one? I am looking to do the same on mine.

[@AdamRainey]

@@darrengardner7724 I will leave the ccv in place but probs will add the radium pcv at some point in the near future

[@motor_head]

Great tutorial will use this when I fit mine next week. One thought though, why not use the heat gun to heat the new hose and make it easier to fit onto the OEM connectors?

[@AdamRainey]

Cheers Perry, in hindsight you are right - that would likely help with getting them on. If you try the heat gun getting the connectors on and it help, let us know

[@motor_head]

Wilco 👍

[@motor_head]

A little heat from a hair dryer does indeed make it easier to fit onto the barbs, I needed no oil

[@samsonyunited]

How much oil do you get in the can and at aprox how many miles or km?

[@powellj27]

Hello Adam, can you supply a link where you purchased this from? I’ve been considering an oil catch can, but it’s always been the pcv side. I’m also yet to install my Mountune oil breather. Loved the video. 👍🏻

[@gbass7328]

Adam, never mind lol. I just read in their documentation that Radium cans are bi-directional.

[@AdamRainey]

they are indeed!

[@5598JC]

Hi Adam Struugling mate the connection with the electrical connector on does that connect to the top or into the side of the catch can

[@williamschmidtjr8476]

Hi Adam. I have a 2016 Ford Focus RS. I bought it already tuned. I performed my first oil change on it, but I don't know how to drain the catch can. Can you explain to me how to drain the catch can please?

[@AdamRainey]

@@williamschmidtjr8476 the ccv catch can never collects much oil I have learned since installing but to empty it you will need to remove the first part of the intake and then unscrew the bottom of the can

[@samsonyunited]

How is blowby so far in the catchcan? Are you running big turbo and higher boost or the stock turbo?

[@AdamRainey]

Very very little. Stock turbo. The PCV side catches significantly more

[@stanelder9995]

I wonder if they offer this for the ST as well ? Currently I have a little one on the back side, but it's impossible to get to for checking. This is a much better engineered solution. BTW, what about a catch can for your front PCV side - in my experience with the ST at least, there's a lot more oil collected there than on the back side........

[@AdamRainey]

You can indeed have it for the ST (their documentation talks about different steps depending on if you are installing on an ST or RS). You are right that PCV side will fill quicker and I am indeed considering my options right now, Radium vs Mishimoto :)

[@stanelder9995]

@@AdamRainey I put a JLT in my ST - also looks good and is nicely engineered, but has no dipstick and can be quite difficult to unscrew the canister for emptying

[@5598JC]

Hi Adam Little confused on what horse go where are you able to send me some pics of the hoses

[@gbass7328]

Adam, I am about to do the complete Radium catch can kit on my RS. Question: Aren't the top ports the input, and the side ports the output of both cans? On the baffle plate/catch can video you attached the PCV hose to the top (input) of the CC per the directions. On the CCV can, you say that you connected the valve cover hose to the side port. That would be the reverse of the PCV can.

[@samsonyunited]

Did you install the CCV can? How much oil do you get in the can and at aprox how many miles or km?

[@gbass7328]

@@samsonyunited Just did it and don't expect much CCV oil at all. Will be checking in 4k mi when I change the oil. Don't drive my car that much. Just good to know that no oil will ever go in through these paths to the valves or turbo anymore.

[@samsonyunited]

@@gbass7328 i am running big turbo and 29psi and getting more than.i would like. if you are stock turbo should be 👍

[@gbass7328]

@@samsonyunited Yes stock turbo for now.

[@anonamos6086]

I found it easier to assemble the fittings to the can and the can to the bracket prior to install.

[@JohnnyWhytetrash]

Good stuff dude. Definitely a lot of help.

[@AdamRainey]

Cheers, glad to help :)

[@steth13101]

i just bought a pcv catch can will it also work for the ccv??im just wondering if any fittings would be different

[@AdamRainey]

Hi Eric, the connections are probably similar if not the same I think

[@tardis4125]

I like the green bolt, adds a little color to the engine. But mine is black😢

Cool video man!

Cheers mate :)

[@jessebudelman]

This should be fun because my intake tube on my ST is one solid pipe. Ha

[@AdamRainey]

haha yes, extra hassle for sure :O

[@jessebudelman]

Story of my life haha

[@blinkinbadger6164]

Adam, why ccv side & not pcv side ? Obviously not a criticism, I just need educating lol

[@AdamRainey]

So a couple of reasons. The way I am progressing with my mods is in a logical progression towards 'stage 2' part of which will be boost pipes and intercooler. The CCV side blows oily air into the intake which then goes through the pipes and intercooler so it makes sense to do this catch can before doing those mods - the PCV vents into the intake manifold after the intercooler so doesn't affect it. Then also I am not 100% decided on what catch can is best for PCV - radium or Mishimoto. I also have the Mountune breather plate which will be reducing the amount of blow by on the PCV side so it isn't as much of a concern right now

[@pumpkinspicelatte1731]

So my main concern is the vps sensor did that fix keep the CEL off? Im gettng ready to grab a really nice set up for my ST facelift, n UPR says itll still set a CEL even if you tie it in, so im gettin mixed info

[@AdamRainey]

There is no CEL at all with this kit

[@pumpkinspicelatte1731]

@@AdamRainey so to my question, ya just the VPS sensor into the new line correct?

[@AdamRainey]

I don't know what this 'VPS sensor' is that you are talking about. The pressure sensor that is re-used in this installation and remains in literally the same location is the only sensor at play here and being that it is in the same position means that there is no chance of a CEL

[@pumpkinspicelatte1731]

Oh I am sorry, the VPS sensor, is the Variable Pressure Sensor in the clean side line from the valve cover to turbo intake tube. The facelift ST, RS and newer ecoboost all have them. I do know the USDM prefacelift STs didnt. But anyways the only reason I asked and I understand I see you didnt move the sensor, but there are alot of people, the companies even that make the cans even, that say theyve seen CELs on the clean side where that sensor is, some people have said that they think its becoz of the flow change, and some people dont exprienve any issues...so its prolly something like they arent paying attention and pinching one of the lines reducing flow. But Im just asking becoz before I drop 500+ plus on my catch can kit I wanted to make sure real world someones installed them without issues. Thats all. Wanted to see it with my eyes per say. Lol thanks bud, good video
