Custom Catch Can


OK, so i've wanted to build one of these for a while. Since i didnt get called into work today, i decided to give it a shot.

It's basically a can with a baffel for the oil vapors to condense on.

Here's all the supplies.


Here's a 3 inch piece of pipe marked with where the nipples will go and where the baffel plates will go.


Here's the top, bottom and the baffles


this is the chain that goes in between the two baffles. the idea is to have a ton of surface area for the oil vapor to condense. many use steel wool, but there is a chance a piece could come off and get sucked into the turbo.


Here's the nipples, hehe


This is the can so far. I still need to make a mounting bracket and add a drain to the bottom.

nice fab work there. good to see another SimFab product

is there a reason you used the threaded nipples instead of the barbed ones or is that just what you had?

i thought the threaded was cool, and the hose slips over the threaded really well.

is it welded shut? or is there a way to open it up and empty out all the caught oil?
