PCV Oil Catch Can, see what your engine is burning! - Page 7

JoulesWinfield · 11-01-2005, 07:02 AM

If anyone is actually interested in finding out the possible impact of the filter being clogged.
We need to find out the actual SCFM for the PCV.
If anyone knows that we can get the SCFM for the coelesing filter and determine a percentage of plugging that is acceptable.

The fact is that when you are using a filter of any kind particles of debris are trapped in the filter, especially when you are using an oiled filter.
Not just to disagree with LT but I would like to know what the flow is through the PCV before I put anything in front of it.

Flow rate is probably in the range of 8-10 ACFM (approx 6-8 SCFM).

The filter won't get clogged.

It is not handling particulate nor is the filter the type to clog with liquids.

Thats the flow rate for the PCV?
What is the ID of the tube that is being used?

OH, the other thing is does anyone know the actual vacuum in inches of mercury.

You are getting way to technical about this.

Everyone installs it and has no problems and catches lots of oil and vapor.

Needing all these concrete scientific measurements to take sure a small plunge leads me to believe that you might as well pass on this mod and look into something else..

Everyone here that has installed it has loved it.

@ BlazerLT, I'm merely looking for some data for my own calculations.
I never said anything about anything working or not.

Geeze, stop taking things so personal.

Nothing being taken personal here.

The information you are asking can easily be collected by yourself on your engine. The information you require is not the same for all engines and PCV valves from different years.

If it's not personal, why criticize him? What he thinks has nothing to do with what you think. Your opinions have been extremely well documented in this thead. Why repeat them?

Of course they are well documented, I created this thread.

I am just saying that the things he is asking is not obtainable through other members seeing different engines and their different PCV systems have different PCV valves, flow rates, and vacuum requirements.

I am sorry if I seemed harsh initially, it wasn't my intention.

Thx

No big deal. There are 100 different ways of looking at things.

I have had mine on for appx 300-400 miles and i love it. i've had no problems with it at all. after 30 miles the thing way 1/4 full so i think the $30-$40 for the materials was well spent.

Brian R. · 11-02-2005, 09:59 AM

Do not neglect it. It is not going to stay the same for the next 50k miles.

Yea, I emptied mine as well when I just changed my oil.

I was not referring to the oil in the trap, I was referring to the filter, obviously. I don't buy the assumption that it will never clog.
