Catch can set up

[s13 @ fullboost]

So I have a quick question. I bought a circuit sports catch can and I bought really corse steel wool and stuffed the can with it I am running the T from my valve cover to it and from the can to the turbo intake. Now my question is will the catch can see enough crank case pressure to where it would push some of the steel wool through my turbo ?

It will not see any pressure ever... It is only going to be in vacuum connected to the turbine inlet. It could suck in random small particles of steel wool I suppose...

not gonna happen. you're fine.

What makes you so confident ?

It's not gonna happen

You shouldn't see that kinda crankcase pressure - time for rings if so

It's the vac I'd be most worried about..

But still not worried at all

Think the steel wool will actually be functional ?

[TheRealSy90]

Of course, it's simply increasing the surface area inside the catch can for the particles to cling to instead of going into your intake.

^^Yup, lotsa people put steel wool in their catch cans for that very reason... However, I don't know if I agree with 'packing' it in there tight... Seems a good way to clog it.

If you "stuffed" the can the way I'm assuming you did, you have too much in there. Like stated its to increase surface area in the can, you do not have to pack it tight and you'll actually lower the performance of it because you're causing a restriction. Take a piece, stretch it out and put it in the can. If you think you need another piece, add it, but don't force feed the can with the stuff.

If you are using steel wool(Brillo pad) there is certainly a chance that it will make it to the intake regardless of how you pack it.

Chore Boy is what I recommend even though that's a brand name, it's also the type. aka Chore Girl
