oil catch cans??

[Dansstarlet1996]

its going to sound like a stupid question to those who already know, but can someone explain to me how it works and what it does for the car? does it improve oil cooling or anything?

many thanks

it releases engine back pressure out of the engine ( engine breather ) by doing so the can catches the fumes and drops the oil residue in the tank

[Dansstarlet1996]

so does it make the engine run any better? or perform any better?

[nikhilkamdar12]

As 5e colin says, from the PCV (Positive Crankcase Pressure) valve instead of going back into your intake all the fumes and nasty shit for emissions to get re-burned you route it to your catch can.

The benefit over not doing it is that it help keep the inside of your intake manifold a lot cleaner and the combustion cleaner too as you can imagine that black oily stuff in the catch can is getting burned inside the engine if the catch can wasn't there.

Hope this helps

thank you so it sort of prolongs the life of the engine abit by looking after it? doesnt affect the performance or anything though?

Helps it breath better.

ah i think i get it so would be a worth while thing to do? (im running a standard 4efe at the moment)

[nikhilkamdar12]

Yes, I would say its a good thing to do regardless if your running big power or stock. You can spend your money on other things such as FMIC or the likes before tackling the ventilation system thoo

The benefits come more as you run more power as the engine can breath way more as the 4EFTE does not have a crank case breather, only what is on the rocker cover.

[Dansstarlet1996]

ah i see, plans at the moment are to just improve on the onboard stuff already, so oil catch can now, braided brake lines, etc just little bits to make it abit better, as im on a tight budget for the moment

Improve the handling instead and have a bit of fun

[Dansstarlet1996]

i looked at that sort of thing, was looking at some whiteline front and rear strut braces, and found a Tegiwa torque damper but dont know if theyre worth putting on?

[Gainzy]

Cusco brace's, polybush engine mount over torque dampers. Catch cans get used alot in builds I don't use one but as above you can put money elsewhere without much worry for one.

if you want to invest else where i would suggest buying advanced driving lessons ha ha our starlets are the worse handling cars ever

As standard they are. But fire a few handling mods at it and theyre shit hot.
