jazz1 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Can someone explain if the supra has a built in catch tank or does it shoot the oil and moisture back into the engine to burn? whats the use of an greddy one to stop this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Shane_ Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 To be totally honest with ya jazz there more for show than anything else. Had one fitted to my supra before, think it was a greddy one, the brother opened it up one day when i removed it and the inside was like new, not a single drip of oil in there, have the pics here if ya want to see it As engine dress up they do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Shoots the oil and moisture back into the engine to burn, as Shane said they are just for engine bling unless you have a single conversion they may serve a purpose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 The reason that no oil is caught in *most* of the catch tanks out there is because the inlet and outlet pipes go into the catch can the same distance (if at all) so the gasses carrying the oil vapour just go straight in then out! The inet pipe needs to go to almost the bottom of the can so that the gasses hit the bottom then travel up to the outlet. This means that the suspended oil drops out of suspension when it hits the bottom of the can. Another useful trick is to fill the can with stainless steel 'scouring pads'. Not the wire wool ones (with soap in them!!), but the ones that look like swarf from a lathe. The surface area of the stainless swarf carches the oil/water as it passes through.
