Another home made catch can

[A.J.]

I made a catch can today for my Dad's T&C wagon. I made it a little smaller than the one I made for my van because of the constraint of space.



Inside.

Why the curly-q with the blue line?

Havent seen it done that way before.. thanks for posting!

It's not a curly Q. The valve cover port goes over the intake, under the throttle body, between the air box and the head to the bottom port on the catch can.


The upper port on the catch can goes around the air box inlet to the breather vent on the air box that use to go to the three way on the back of the valve cover.

Nicely done. Any trace of oil getting absorbed in the intake tract?

I didn't notice any. I installed the catch can because of the oil getting into the air box, contaminating the filter, and dripping on the trans. Generally making a mess.

Thanks for the clarification.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I am looking into making my own. What is the screen inside? Also, do you have the thread link to the original one you made?

What PCV valve are you using/ what are the check valves your using?

I bought the screen as a sheet from home depot many years ago. I have no idea if it's still available.

I looked for a link to the original thread but couldn't find it.

PCV valve is a metal Toyota one. It came on the 2.4 pick-up engines and inline 6 Supra engines. Don't buy an aftermarket one because they don't seal tight.

What also works well as a filtering media in catch cans is thick steel wool ( scrubbing pads for cleaning pots and pans)

That's what I use. I use the screen to hold it in place so it doesn't get sucked into the engine.

Right on.

Where did you get the drain from, and what is it called. Tried describing it to people at home depot and autozone and got the "deer caught in headlights" look.

The screen to me looks similar to the screens you can buy to keep leaves and such out of your gutters on your house. Easily available at any hardware or home improvement store.
