XR6 Turbo XR8 Billet Oil Catch Can
Dalta Autosports XR6 Turbo XR8 Billet Oil Catch Cans are machined from 6061 billet. Our billet cans accept -10AN fittings with a -10AN drain back for the heavy breathers. The 360 degree rotating lid allows the fittings and lines to be angled in any direction for a perfect fit.
Contrary to popular belief, catch cans aren’t just for diesel engines. Whilst crankcase gunk build-up isn’t as of an issue for petrol engines the way it is for their diesel counterparts, petrol engines also benefit from preventing crankcase emissions from entering the engine’s air intake.
Fitting a catch-can to your engine helps protect against a little thing called “blow-by”. During the engine’s operation, a small amount of combustion gas sneaks its way past the piston rings and into the crankcase. These combustion gases mix with the oil vapour in the crankcase, creating an oil mist that makes its way through the engine’s PCV system and back into the intake. This cocktail of air, fuel, and oil is what we call blow-by.
When drawn into the engine’s combustion chamber, blow-by can reduce the effective octane of the fuel-air mixture and cause detonation. The oil mist created from blow-by can also coat important air intake components such as an intercooler, reducing efficiency. As oil enters the intake, it also has a habit of sticking to the back of the engine’s intake valves, creating carbon-build up, which can further hurt efficiency. This is especially common on direct-injection engines where there is no injector spraying fuel on the intake valve.
Engines that use forms of forced induction, such as turbocharging and supercharging, are prone to creating more blow-by due to the added combustion pressure.
