Description
What is a catch can and why do you need one? The factory recirculates crankcase air back into the intake. This air contains oil, moisture and other combustion byproducts which contaminates the air that is being fed to the turbocharger. The oil and water infused air coats the turbocharger compressor blades, charge tubes, intercooler and intake valves. If you don't have a turbo on your Defender, it can also still change the air/fuel ratio and lower the effective octane of the mixture being introduced into the cylinder resulting in lost performance. Oil has a very low knock threshold, therefore the more oil contained in the incoming air, the lower the effective knock protection of whatever fuel is being used.
Since we never rest on our success, the new-and-improved EVP Catch Can was redesigned specifically to combat and eliminate the issues described above whether upgrading your HD10 with an EVP Defender Turbo System (highly recommended) or pushing your stock Defender to the max. Our CNC-machined billet aluminum separator mounts to the frame rail above the clutch housing. The OEM crankcase vent hose is simply rerouted to the new location for significantly improved performance.
The EVP Billet Catch Can also features an all-new redesigned internal baffle with a perforated stainless steel cylinder plus additional steel screening to help the oil-infused vapors condensate correctly. This allows the oil to separate from the mixture and also prevents it from further syphoning out, letting the vapor escape via the filter for improved overall performance.
All EVP Air/Oil Separator Catch Can kits also include a high-quality filter element, pre-filter, and now come equipped with a new petcock-style draining valve at the bottom for clean periodic emptying of the contaminants. Emptying the excess contents is now quicker, hassle free, and will leave zero mess on you or your surroundings — a great new feature of the updated EVP Catch Can design.
A silicone cap is supplied to block off the port on the intake boot where the OEM breather hose is connected. All hardware is stainless steel and the body of the separator is powder coated black. The billet cap can be clocked in 45-degree increments to allow virtually any installation orientation. Not only that, because the cap is removable, the catch can can be disassembled if desired to fully clean out the contents.
