OVERVIEW

The catch can draws out oil and water condensation from the crankcase gasses that would otherwise be drawn into the intake manifold. This prevents oil buildup in the intake, intercooler system walls, throttle body, and intake manifold. This effectively raises the octane, can increase engine performance from cleaner inlet air, and can lower hydrocarbon emissions. The closed system prevents unwanted oil vapors from entering into the cabin. Catch can kits include everything needed for a complete installation.

FLUID LOCK® CATCH CANS

In 2022, Radium Engineering implemented a revolutionary design change to the 7 fluid ounce standard catch can. An inherent problem always existed with typical catch cans when not serviced regularly. The fluid contaminants will eventually leave the reservoir pouring into the air intake system causing poor engine performance. To resolve this issue, Radium created the Fluid Lock® Catch Can. This contains a patented mechanism that prevents the reservoir from overfilling and traps the collected fluids until it is emptied.

FEATURES

Direct fitment with no drilling required
Large 10AN ORB inlet and outlet ports
4AN ORB drain port
2-step oil separation baffling
O-ring sealed dipstick
7 fluid ounce capacity
Patented Fluid Lock® system

COLLECTION & EMPTYING

The rate that your catch cans will collect oil and moisture contaminants will vary from one individual vehicle to the next, so there is no set emptying interval. PCV catch cans tend to collect more than CCV catch cans. You should check the level of your catch can using the integrated dipstick starting at 3-4 weeks of driving and repeat as needed to determine how often they should be emptied based on what you see.

Catch cans can be emptied by unscrewing the lower reservoir and removing it from the vehicle to dump out, or in cases where there is available space under the catch can, the Petcock Drain Kit can be installed and used to drain them.

In cases where oil collection is excessive you may have to address an issue with the engine. The reasons a catch can will collect an excess of oil include

Excessive blowby from engine damage
Crankcase windage from an over-full oil level
Poor placement of breather ports and/or poor baffling inside breather ports
PCV valve not closing and leaking under heavy load

20-0105-FL PCV CATCH CAN KIT

The PCV catch can kit installs immediately behind the RH headlight and plumbs in-line with the PCV hose. When the PCV valve is open, unwanted crankcase vapor, unspent fuel, and oil sludge are drawn into the intake manifold. The catch can acts as an in-line filter trapping and holding the contaminants before they can get to the intake manifold.

Because Radium catch cans are pressure sealed, they are great for boosted applications as well so connecting to the intake manifold is permitted and will withstand any boost level, no check valve required.

The PCV kit is a closed system that requires a vacuum signal from the intake manifold to open the PCV valve.

NOTE: Some European models have head lamp washer reservoirs which create an interference with the PCV catch can.

INCLUDED

Billet oil catch can with integrated condenser and dipstick
Laser cut powder coated RH mounting bracket
6AN and 8AN aluminum hose ends and adapter fittings
Enough 3/8' and 1/2' PCV hose for custom applications
Stainless steel mounting hardware

20-1106-FL CCV CATCH CAN KIT

Compatible with all EVO X models/years including metal and plastic valve cover variations. The CCV catch can kit installs immediately behind the LH headlight and plumbs in-line with the CCV hose. This is the hose that connects from the port on the valve cover to the turbo air intake pipe. This draws unwanted crankcase vapors, unspent fuel, and oil sludge into the air filter intake pipe, turbocharger compressor, etc. This can lead to oil collection in the intercooler. Oil coating the inside of the intercooler will lower the thermal efficiency of the intercooler and decrease performance. The catch can kit will help collect the contaminants before they can get to the intake pipe.

INCLUDED

Billet oil catch can with integrated condenser and dipstick
Laser cut powder coated LH mounting bracket
6AN and 8AN aluminum hose ends and adapter fittings
Enough 3/8' and 1/2' PCV hose for custom applications
Stainless steel mounting hardware

20-0300 ALTERNATE MOUNT FOR EVO X CCV KITS

The alternate location mounting kit is required if an Radium Engineering CCV Catch Can Kit interferes with other components, such as an aftermarket intake system. The kit works in conjunction with any of the EVO X CCV catch can kit listed above. The 20-0300 DOES NOT include a catch can. Purchase in conjunction with CCV catch can kit 20-1106.
