Corksport Oil Catch Can?

[Mazdamatic]

i see they are selling it for the 2. how much of a benefit is it?

i mean for only 140 if its a big change in anything id be down to get it and then see how to install it.

or ill wait till after the turbo.... idk.... =[

I would like to know this as well. Valentines day is coming up and I think its time the 2 got some love. Waiting on the shift plate from Corksport and possibly this. Anyone who has one have any feedback on improved MPG? Performance? Amount of carp this thing actually catches? I will tell my wife it is for MPG's so its easier for me to "sell" her on the idea.

I've been curious as well what the real benefits and gains are. I'd grab it if it made some real differences in either performance or MPG

I will have to double check the rules out in B-Spec to see if they allow me to run one. With the 2 being at WOT most of the time it would be a good test to see how much material gets picked up by it.

at WOT there should be very little flowing through the PCV, since there isn't much vacuum in the intake @ WOT. Hopefully, our rings aren't letting a lot of pressure into the crankcase yet.

I really like this solution. I've always just used an (illegal) 1/2" filter right off the PCV, and plugged the intake. On looser cars I'd use a catch can, but not tie it back in, and just baffled. The cylconic action is nice, functional, and ties it back into the intake.

That said, I'm sure for a low mileage car the difference is imperceptible. What they seriously cut down on is long term oil build up, which can be troublesome.

In road use, the crankcase should always have vacuum to take oute any fumes that are build up in the crankcase and also prevents blow by.
So if you use a catchcan use it only in-line for road use

Running catch can for over a year as NA and for 5 months with the turbo configuration I had never seen any sludge or anything weird. Just plain oil. (less than 300ml in 1+1/2 year and over 15k miles).

Also keep in mind that our intake manifold have 2 set of butterflies where some oil fumes shouldn't be so bad for them.

Nothing like first hand experience with an OCC, thanks for chiming in.

I've always been under the impression that it doesn't delay blow-by, but can help compensate if you've got a problem with pressure blowing past your rings.

more than likely, no. I haven't seen our intake in particular, but most are sealed bearings, oil will just gum up the works.

Engineers are saying that, indeed I cant either understand how helps blow by.

If you see the intake you will understand. Plastic bearings, not sealed...
