This might be one of the better catch can videos for these trucks on the tube

Aftermarket catch cans are a great idea. Only potential issues I see are that if the catch can overflows and hot oil comes out through the filter, that oil could catch fire as it drips on the hot exhaust manifold. You are also more likely to drip oil on the exhaust when taking it apart due to being mounted so closely to the turbo instead of higher, which is going to make dumping it out more involved than just unthreading the bottom section of the can.

Excellent video ! Even I can install after watching…thank you

Works best if your truck is older of if it’s is deleted and/or tuned. Some of the newer trucks with all the emissions equipment can throw codes if you use a catch can.

I have a 2012 Cummins 6.7 L deleted and tuned. The CCV delete is next. Thx

Very nice Camera work, and good explanations. On my F-150 Ecoboost engine, my catch can "out" line goes to my intake manifold fitting, and of course the PVC line goes into the catch can IN side. and my turbos are fed from the air box for the Ford 2.7 and 3.5 engines., FYI Ford guys & Gals. But almost same easy Install. Cheers from Motown!

Thanks for the time / video and to explain everything w/o aaa /ooooo uuu for 2 min lol

You have to gut the ccv filter if you havent. The pressure the turbo relieve will try to push out pretty much every seal the motor has when the motor doesnt have the turbo to suck the wir through the filter.

good video thanks, looks as if the atf stick on the wifes truck is going to be kinda hard to pull?? do u think some sort of media can be used in the bottom of the catch can to absorb the oil or would it block the exit to the top filter???

Can you use that Same hole in the turbo to put nitrous

My 08 is deleted and I keep getting a service soon light

Why not use both ports, I mean the catch can is catching all the gunk, iam going to run my out on the can back to the turbo intake, this will pull some vacuum from crank case, seems like other way it will bleed off just fine, but at high rpms iam not sure, thanks for the video,...it did help me with routing everything 😁 cheers

I did throw some code so I added a hose from the out port back to the turbo intake and that helped. My wife's truck is in the shop now for 2 weeks so far with leaking oil from the primary so it needs a new gasket and new engineered bolts for some reason as they said a new bulletin came out from the factory to use new style bolts. Still don't have it back yet but when it's done I'll look at the catch can again.

@PaulRichburg

You didn't notice the hose clamp? 🤔🤣

i would personally run the catch can with the line back to the intake. For 1 , if you get an aftermarket air intake there should be little to no negative pressure in the intake system , meaning its not really pulling a ton of air through the PCV but instead just relieving pressure. Second you WANT to have slight vacuum on the crank case , any pressure in the crank case is technically bad , too much with blow out seals and gaskets , as well as cause a loss in engine performance than CAN be measured on the dyno. the catch can is going to catch 90% of your particulate if you keep it clean , draining it at every oil change. With the reduced vacuume on the pcv system by upgrading the intake system and filter as well as keeping a clean intake filter , and adding this catch can which is serviceable and cleanable i would think there is absolutely zero reason to worry about a harmful amount of particulate making it to the turbo. Possibly super fine oil mist but by the time it hits the turbo even the mist will have been filtered if you buy a high quality catch can that has a bronze or metallic filter element / media in it.

That would nullify the EGR delete on his truck. The point is to breathe cleaner air into the engine instead of oily used gasses. These diesels make more than enough positive crankcase pressure, so much so that blow-by is a serious issue and pressure needs to be decreased. When you watch videos of trucks with diesel engines for sale, they often unscrew the oil filler cap and set it atop the tube to demonstrate how severe the the blow-by is. That's why many Cummins owners upgrade their valve covers with ones that have multiple ports to help ventilate the excess pressure either to a catch can or the atmosphere.

@@McCallieOrchestraso I’m curious would you run this back to the turbo? Or plug that line like he did and let it vent to atmosphere? I feel like if the oil is being filtered well it’s not a huge deal for that turbo and by “theory” should help keep it lubricated? And would still keep that pressure down? Mind you I am not talking about a deleted truck and am seeing if this is worth putting on my truck which isn’t deleted and don’t plan on it

​@@gwood69, if you mean back to the turbo as in plumbing into the line that sends oil from the engine to the turbo, I don't think that would work because the oil traveling from the engine to the turbo is under pressure. You would risk sending that oil to the catch can instead of to the turbo so the turbo could burn up quickly by running dry and the catch can or a hose would have to give at some point and puke out your engine oil. Engine oil pressure when running should be around 60 psi and even if you plumb a line from that system at an opposite angle or with a check valve, you would still have actual engine oil flowing out of your engine or a check valve either causing the same issue, or not having any purpose at all depending on at what pressure rating it is set to open. Some have tried something similar by using no catch can and venting into the exhaust but that would be very difficult to get to function as desired. If you mean expending just the gasses from the catch can to the air intake between the filter and turbo, that would be pretty much duplicating or reinstalling an EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system. Whether dirty and used or fresh and clean, the engine's internals are slinging oil under more pressure than it can take on a modified engine, which is why we want to ventilate and let those gasses escape. Just like fog, that oily mist that expels as gas when ventilated to a catch can will accumulate as messy, liquid oil once it is sitting still, resting in the catch can. Sending oily mist back to the intake has two advantages, being cleaner than letting it drip to the atmosphere, and supposedly, better emissions. Severe drawbacks of the EGR include letting that spent oil splatter all over the compressor wheel of a turbo, then gunking up the intercooler, and coating sensors for things like IAT (Intake Air Temperature). None of those parts should be in contact with anything other than clean, dry air. When the mist travels with the intake air through the above mentioned parts, then the head and to the pistons, it might also affect the injectors, but should mostly burn with the fuel and air when it all gets compressed. Most owners who remove the EGR system reduce headaches and have a cleaner, healthier, longer lasting, more efficient engine. Yes, I expect you could just plug or pinch the EGR's feed to the intake but I am not familiar enough to know exactly how or where. Yes, crankcase ventilation should still relieve pressure to improve and prolong the health of your engine even on a stock vehicle. If you do install a catch can, I recommend installing it higher than where the gasses exit the engine. But added ventilation is likely going to benefit you less than other mods if you are not having issues with the system. I would invest in upgrading the air intake, exhaust, transmission, injectors, gauges, and a chip first if you haven't already. In short, I would definitely not run oil through a diesel's air system, dirty or clean. By the time that oily mist gets to the intake, it has already been run through the engine where it has contacted potential sludge and tiny bits of metallic wear particles so even if the oil was just changed, it can only be considered cleaner, not truly clean. Some aftermarket Cummins tappet covers have baffled ventilation blocks that capture most of the thicker, more solid liquid oil particles so it drains right back into the engine. This will probably be sufficient for most daily driver tow rigs. It might even work to run hoses from ventilated valve covers into those, but you run the risk of adding more air pressure into the engine where you don't want it. If you are like me and live on a farm where the truck ventures on steep inclines and sidehills, one of those tappet vents has the potential to just dump engine oil right out the side so that's something to consider with the vehicle's overall usage. Because there is so much internal pressure, I do not know of anyone who has designed a successful return system for a catch can for one of these engines. A transparent can mounted where it is easy to view under the hood seems like the safest idea to me so you can just drain it into an empty bottle without making a mess. Or, perhaps, have a valve you can open at the tappet cover or the oil pan so the catch can could drip down through the engine when it is not running or when you change the engine's oil. Definitely better for the environment than spilling to the atmosphere. I used to hang an empty soda bottle from the crank case vent hose under my 12 valve to capture some of the oil but it didn't hold up long term. If the catch can you choose is not clear, you will likely have to check the dipstick to know when it needs to be drained and every engine is going to be different. If you want to inject something into the intake system, water/methanol or propane can be safely regulated to the intake horn or directly into the intake plenum of the head. I wouldn't inject anything before the intake side of the intercooler, definitely not before the turbo. Imagine you have water inside the boost tubes, on the compressor wheel blades, or in the intercooler at below freezing temperatures; a significant amount of accumulation at very cold temps could cause issues. Some have experimented with spraying a mist of water on the exterior of the intercooler, not sure of the results. Race trucks often use a water to air intercooler for brief competitions but the safest way for that is still as a heat exchanger unless it returns to the engine just as the air enters the head but too much water can literally put out the flame. Hope this helps.

I “THINK” it’s better to have the air from the engine going in the outlet port plug the inlet port and install the filter on the top. This way the oil mist has to travel further! Install the stainless in the little piece with the holes in it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Have you had any issues with excessive pressure after install? I did filter delete and I’m getting oil coming out of my dipstick. If I hook it back up to factory it’s fine but I notice I’m leaking oil at my turbo. I recent ordered the catch can and am going to install it to see if that fixes my issue.
