What does an oil catch can do? Does stock turbo needs it...sry for being such a noooooob...lol...

Get a universal catch-can. If you really want a car-specific one, look up Boomba's.

I dont have the need to run oil catch can.
Wutangmo15 on the other hand with upgraded turbo uses two small catch cans.
He would have to empty his out every a few oil change.
Frequency depends on the size of catch can.

I have seen water bottle catch cans. It is not that difficult to make once you understand the concept.

just get a cheapy... they all work pretty much the same.. some are fancy, but still do the same job..

circuit racing or motorsports? sell one for about $30 i have it listed up on another forum, ill try for the link again... it needs a mounting point added.. but, for the price you can easily make a bracket to make this work..

sorry its $35 now..

a good vented catch can was my favorite addition to my car. SSP-TX has some data here when they released their Evo X one

I don't know why it isn't more popular, definitely worth adding

i posted this on another forum a while back, and they sold out(14) in a couple days... i think this dealer is only known in the nissan scene.. anyways ive seen this can a few times in person, its pretty cheap.. but fairly similar to any $90 can out there.. and they make a couple sizes..

[RalliNurse]

I'm bring this thread from the dead....
Does anyone have a oil catch can installed already?
If so...is it on stock RA turbo...and does it catch any oil?
Plz post results...I'm looking to get one...

[Markspd6]

sorry this is from my other car, a mazda speed6.. i havent done the catch can on the RA yet, but when i first posted my catch can install a couple years back, i got laughed off the forum, 2 months later when i pulled this from my can, everyone i know went and bought one..

[BravoZero]

I need to get on this and install one.

so did u catch any oil with RA turbo on??? even w/X turbo???
also, for stock ra turbo...do i get the one without breather???

[MTZL]

Wutangmo15 has evo x upgrade & two small catch cans, every other oil changes he has to dump em out. However, if you're rocking the stock RA turbo, I think you will be fine w/o it. Then again, oil catch are relatively cheap mod. You can even make one yourself once you understand the concept of the oil catch can. :)

Thanx Mike...but 1 question remains...do I need the one w/breather or w/o breather...b/c I'm looking for either a RAD or evo X or BBX lite upgrade in the future and I wanna get prep now so I don't have to spend extra $ for the "same" part...hope I make sense...thanx

with or with out breather you can do it both from what you get just take off hose and buy small filter from autozone it's like $5 and then you will get breather
