Any pictures of this filler with the clean side separator?

What is capacity of UPR can and how does it compare to the Elite e2x? Does UPR work as efficiently as e2x, i.e. does it remove as much oil/contaminants? How much room to work with below drain - can you get a water bottle under there? I very much like the plug/play aspect but it needs to perform as well as Elite.

The only way to be sure is to get one of each and do a comparison on your own vehicle.

When you're satisfied, sell the one you aren't as happy with, preferably on another forum.

I’m trying to avoid that. The whole point of my search here is to make the right decision on the first try. It’s not like Consumer Reports covers these things.

Also --- does the location of the can and/or css cap and/or lines get in the way of being able to easily remove the cap on the valve cover and pour in oil?

I guess the rest of us kinda decide as we go.

Left over stuff is just a way of life.

 

I'd pick the Elite and go ahead.

And save some bucks.

Here are the differences that set our kits apart from the rest.



The complexity and build quality of other catch cans are where the main difference in price with UPR Catch Cans, and you get what you pay for. I know the UPR is more and the build quality along with many factors such as Inst-Grip Braided Hose, UPR Plug and Play™ Fittings, Multi-Stage Internal Diffuser System with Diffuser Shield and Multiple Coalescing Screen throughout. We don't stuff our cans with generic stainless steel media or steel wool. All our Coalescing Screens are designed specifically to each UPR Catch Can application.



If you're OK with an aftermarket non-factory look with rubber hoses and clamps, then any brand system will work to save a few bucks. If you want an Incredible Performer that has an OEM look that will even confuse a dealer if it's factory or not, then UPR is the choice. Something to think about that never gets addressed is the flow of the Catch Can, Check valves, and Hose Quality will determine how strong the vacuum is that scavenges your crankcase and helps seal the rings. Many hoses when they get hot will collapse or shrink without any visual signs and restrict the vacuum from the intake and reduce the scavenging effect to the crankcase. These variables affect MPG and Overall Performance as well as the oil that is eliminated from entering the intake tract through the PCV system.



Important Note: we eliminated rubber hoses a long time ago for the same reason everyone keeps mentioning with collapsing and failures etc. No customers should ever have to encounter those issues. Our braided hoses do not collapse or fail and you'll never be frustrated because of the performance or quality our hoses deliver. Braided Hose is standard with our kit not an upgrade or option as we want to deliver the best from the start. It's nice to have a system that does not require a screwdriver to tighten clamps or worry about them coming loose or having hoses pop off.



UPR put all the very best parts together for a package price for the GM-Trucks members for vehicles without CAI and with CAI and a UPR Catch Can. I prefer to deliver a system that fits and exceeds the build quality of OEM standards and does not look aftermarket or out of place.






PM me if you have any questions.



Thank you, Joe

What is capacity of UPR can and how does it compare to the Elite e2x? The UPR is a 14oz. can and the UPR is the first catch can designed specifically to be used in the heat to be able to eliminate all the condensation and moisture that builds up in the catch can reducing the problem with having to drain water from the catch can all the time.

 

Does UPR work as efficiently as e2x, i.e. does it remove as much oil/contaminants? Yes, it does and work as efficiently and capture all the oil and contaminants that come through the PCV.

 

How much room to work with below drain - can you get a water bottle under there? The drain can have a bottle put under it or you can get a fitting and hose and drain it to a pan under the truck which is easier.

 

Does the location of the can and/or css cap and/or lines get in the way of being able to easily remove the cap on the valve cover and pour in oil? No the CSS can easily be unscrewed and you can pour oil in without any problem.

Thanks joe!

Yes, thanks.

 

I was close to being sold (still am) on the e2x until I ran into yours. Now debating. The Elite has a larger capacity and can be installed where it's easier to get at. UPR has those nice hoses and connections.

 

Decisions, decisions.

Don't over think this. They both do exactly the same thing. I installed my E2 at the brake booster and it sits close enough to the exhaust manifold to get it hot enough to evaporate the condensation that it collects so it won't fill up too quickly.

Mounting location is critical to having an efficient system that is not a condensation machine and the oil comes out black with some fuel in it. It's the proper function of the catch can system and it does not require a large capacity to capture oil and unburnt fuel. We offer 4" MEGA catch can and I do not recommend them on any normally aspirated engine as they are just overkill. Thank you for chiming in " 17 Sierra " it's nice to be on a positive forum where everyone shares info.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
