CorkSport Titanium Oil Catch Can

[CorkSport]

We are still working on this project. We have had a few slow downs getting the initial test parts done.

updates? interested in one for the msm..

 

[darkthunder]

I'm interested as well.

Finally got a sample piece.

I'm going to try and get it installed this week to get some testing done on it.

Here is a shot of the installed catch can.

We installed the can right below the washer fluid reservoir and put a drain plug through the undertray for easy of draining. This is installed on a 1st gen MS3 with over 100k miles on it, so we will hopefully see how well the design works in the next couple weeks.

Can't really tell, but does the OCC kit contain a higher pressure check-valve (McMaster-Carr brass one, or similar) to keep the reservoir from back-filling with pressure? The 2nd PCV valve solutions often don't stand up to the pressure and are "positionally" leak-insecure versus a spring loaded check-valve. Do tell...

Please install threaded AN fittings isntead of plain hose barbs.

I've been running the Saikou Michi kit for about 3 months and I love it. I'd try to mount it in the same spot they do (for their mount #1 option anyway) it works with most FMIC's and SRI's, mount #2 for CAI's. I'd consider atleast switching the can for this one because of the design, although I feel like the SM can is a pretty high quality piece. It uses a pretty beefy check valve to keep the unit from being pressurized instead of the 2nd PCV valve. Look into their kit for some installation ideas and design ideas.

Our test vehicle drove for 442 miles and made it back to our shop to check if anything had accumulated anything. The picture below is the results after letting it settle overnight.

We are going to send it out for analysis to see just what did make it in to the OCC. We have a 2nd design on the car right now for testing and plan on having the cyclonic (media-free) OCC made in time to get that on the car for testing as well.

I do like the idea of a spring check valve rather than a second OEM PCV valve (position sensitive). I will look into the feasibility of the AN fittings. It can easily be done, but the cost would be higher than including hose clamps.

As for location, we could do install instructions for a couple different locations, but we chose the passenger fender below the washer fluid reservoir because it will clear our intake or FMIC kits in this location.

BTW, the test car is completely stock.

I'm still looking forward to purchasing one of these.

You'd be better off just welding on threaded bungs, and then supplying hose barbs or AN fittings that would screw in.

holy crap. price is too high already. what does this tank offer that others half its price dont already?

 

[Jacob_]

That price is for the Titanium version. The price would be substantially lower for the Aluminum version.

I think you guys would be better off making the catch can universal. Or at least target the Mazda lineup. Lots of RX-8s use catch cans. I recently bought one and checked your site before looking elsewhere.

Looking at your sample piece I do not see a way to gauge how full the can is. Were you going to add a window? Have you considered moving the fittings to the top of the can?

 

[KrGsMrNKusinagi]

Im interested

 

[mazdaspeed619sd]

I'd be interested in an AL unit at a significantly lower price point. Titanium is cool and all, but sheesh......it's a catch can! It won't be visible where I plan to mount it anyway. Offer it anodized for corrosion protection in a few different colors and you'll sell them much more easily. Offer it in raw AL as well, and price it as the least expensive of the bunch.

I totally agree, I was planning to order my CBE soon, just waiting for this to come out. But if it would come out in Aluminum for cost, it would help sell a lot more. Hands down.

Bump.......Yawn where is this upto!!!!!

 

[zoomzoomMSP]

im also very interested to see where this is at currently. bump!

 

[sick_role]
