Installed ADD W1 Oil Catch Can

ejdziurka · February 4, 2016

Anybody else's o ring starting to go bad? Mine is starting to stretch making it tough to screw back on. Anybody know what size would work better

I've only had mine for a week and when I was screwing it on, I noticed that it was already gaping on one side. Had to tuck it in before I finished. Not really sure how much sealing it provides anyways. You would think a flat ring that sandwiched between the top and bottom would provided a tighter seal.

Got mine installed last night, I have about 11k on my truck and my tb and intake were nowhere near as oily as some of the pics I've seen.

Anyways, as one of the other member did, I bought some key rings and ss mesh to put in there. I got 1 1/16" key rings and 1" pre cut mesh from McMaster Carr and they fit perfectly.

How many do you think are necessary? I only put two rings with screens in them in. With buying 10 rings that would give me 4 other sets with extra screens to offer up for sale on here? Edited February 5, 2016 by ejdziurka

I installed my ADD W1 today ,made my aluminum bracket by the spare battery location and ran 3/8 transmission line and I now here the air sound .I put my ear to both the inlet and outlet lines and can CLEARLY hear the sound coming from the INLET line ,can anyone confirm this for me ? I think this is either normal or I have a damaged line but don't want to buy another one till I get some input .

As I thought I had a damaged hose it was flat spotted so the reinforcement did not hold up, the new line still has the slight air hiss sound but it is not nearly as bad.

My O-Ring was so stretched out I couldn't get it all to tuck back in, at least a 1/4" of slack from the can.. Here it is (outside) with its replacement (inside). Had to stretch it a little bit, but I figure its better tight, than loose.

I ended up taking the key rings out and put all 10 mess screens in it.. the more the merrier

Local hardware store. The replace cost 50 cents, so I bought a couple.

Like the location. Did you fab your own bracket? Also, are you running their clean side separator too?

Just to clarify, that is an Elite Engineering E2X catch can. And yes it looks like a clean side separator is installed.

Correct, Sorry I keep on referring to it as RX but its the E2X. Clean side came with it in the kit.

Bracket came with it, It actually needs to move a little closer to the engine, I can't fit anything bigger than that cup underneath it because the battery tray is in the way.

Wow ,not even two weeks this catch can is well worth the money.

Curious why you put the check valve on the supply side. I have the dual exit can so I put one on each exit hose and thought about putting one one the supply line next to the exit on the engine to keep anything that was in the hose from going back into the engine. People told me not to worry about. I'm not saying your wrong I was just curious when I saw you picture.

Correct me if i am wrong guys but isn't the check valve for boosted applications when there is a possibility of positive pressure in the intake? NA engines don't create positive pressure in the intake unless an intake valve is stuck.
