I have been looking into their products for some time now. A friend with a lotus exige loves their stuff. You pay the money but the fit and finish is impressive. Good to see a nissan store pick up this product.

Ive been following them for quite sometime now and was very interested. We had a chance to go face to face this past weekend at Evergreen Speedway and after talking to them, seeing and holding their products - I was 100% in. The quality, function, fit, everything is spectacular.

There are a couple of features over on Motoiq regarding their company.

How does the dual catch can work compared to the normal catch cans?

How does the dual catch can work compared to the normal catch cans?

Here is some information regarding their oil catch cans. Oil catch cans are generally very simple parts we use on our race cars. Radium Engineering has taken a simple product and made it better.

I can tell you that we sell tons of oil catch cans here and the Radium Engineering product is very unique in comparison.

-----------------------------------------FROM RADIUM ENGINEEERING
An oil catch can is essential on a performance vehicle to protect the engine from elevated levels of crankcase blow-by accumulated from aggressive driving. Excess oil saturated air circulating back into the air intake stream can lead to degraded performance. Unlike many catch cans on the market, this catch can features an integrated oil separator that accelerates oil condensation. This stainless steel filter media is cleanable and reusable. The liquid oil is then collected in the reservoir. The fluid can be easily disposed without removing the can from its bracket. The lower half of the body simply unscrews for draining or the bottom port can be used with the RADIUM Petcock Drain Kit if the cans cannot be easily separated.

Benefits:
-Effectively raises the octane and increased engine performance from cleaner inlet air
-Prevents oil buildup in the intake or intercooler system walls, throttle body, intake manifold, etc.
-Excessive oil collection can be an indicator of a damaged engine.
-Lowers hydrocarbon emissions

Features:
-6061 Billet Aluminum O-Ring Sealed Oil Can
-Integrated Oil Separating Condensers
-Stainless Steel Cleanable and Reusable Filter Media
-Main Ports: 7/8"-14 Female Threads (-10AN O-Ring)
-Powder Coated Laser Cut Mounting Bracket
-O-Ring Sealed -4AN Drain Plug
-Stainless Steel Mounting Hardware
-Safe for Pressurized Applications
-Anodized 6061 Billet Aluminum Oil Dipstick



Options:

Dual Petcock Drain Kit
-Two Anodized Aluminum -4AN O-Ring Barbed Fittings
-Two Nylon ¼” Barb Mini Ball Valves
-12ft Clear PVC Tubing

Open PCV System
This option is used to convert a modern closed PCV system to an open PCV system. Radium Engineering does not necessarily condone an open system, however, there are many applications that demand this setup.

Includes:
-Black Anodized Aluminum Barb Fitting with O-Ring
-Green Crankcase Air Filter
-Worm Drive Hose Clamp

Open PCV System Disadvantages:
Without an intake return for the PCV system, the crankcase will not measure any amount of negative pressure that can be, argueably, beneficial for piston rings.
Over time, a light mist of oil vapor will accumulate around the engine bay near the crankcase breather.
An open PCV system is not smog legal and will not pass a visual emissions check.

Open PCV System Advantages:
Completely eliminates any chance of oil vapor returning into the intake air stream and collecting in idle air control valves, intercoolers, etc.
Required for specific applications. For example, a race car using a turbocharger system without a compressor inlet pipe.

What is the difference between a 2 catch can design, vs a 1 can? Any chance, of making a single can version?

It depends on the application. Radium Engineering has a Single Catch Can. Ill post up some pricing tomorrow.

[CamryOnBronze]

Dang, that stuff looks pretty nice!

[Flicktitty]

Stuff looks great, Really like the surge tank fuel pump setup.

How does the oil separation in the Radium Engineering catch cans work? Keep reading to find out....

Gasses enter the catch can through the top port and immediately pass through a stack of stainless steel condensers. These provide surface area for the hot oil vapor to cool and condense. This creates a phase change within the oil makeup converting it from a gas to a liquid. All of the liquid oil collects and drips down to the bottom of the canister. Remaining gasses continue through the catch can chamber where they slow down allowing time for more oil vapor to condense on the interior surface walls. Then "clean" gasses exit through the front port and back into the engine's intake stream.

When designing our turbocharger kit for the Lotus Elise, we searched the market high and low for a catch can with built-in oil separation, removable fittings, the ablility to handle turbo boost pressures, and contained in a small package. We did not find any that matched our criteria, so we designed our own. While this was originally designed for the Lotus Elise, it is a universal part that can be used with any engine. It has the flexibilty to be plumbed with -AN fittings, or traditional hose barbs.

COOLANT SWIRL TANKS
(the pictured tank is specific for the Lotus, ignore the mounting bracket)
http://www.nissanparts.cc/catalog/nissan/Coolant_Tanks.jpg
The Radium Coolant Expansion Swirl Tank features three ports that use -6AN to 9/16-18 O-ring adapters (not tapered pipe threads) for a positive seal. The main tank is a 2-piece design constructed of cast aluminum. The two halves (shown below) are welded together along with a CNC billet aluminum cap receiver which mates to any standard 32mm "import" style pressure cap.
