UPR Catch Can Plug N Play with CSS Installed

The simple explanation of the PCV system is that it's a dedicated vacuum pump to scavenge the crankcase and evacuate any positive crankcase pressure. The issue occurs during normal PCV function while the dedicated vacuum source is eliminating crankcase pressure and improving ring seal. PROBLEM: The factory vacuum source is strong enough that it can and will pull out any fluids that are still vapor.

 

The newer the vehicle the stronger the vacuum source will be, resulting in much higher amounts of oil and unburnt fuels being scavenged from the crankcase through the PCV system and ultimately into the combustion chamber where they cause disruption in the efficiency of the cylinder firing and often results in detonation or pre-ignition. Then slowly the engine will start to build up a slow and inevitable collection of oil that starts to coat the intake, runners and combustion chambers.

 

When you install a properly functioning catch can and not some empty container with steel wool or home made dividers in it, you collect almost everything instead of collecting a little bit of oil and thinking you solved the problem. These empty cans are only catching the solids and the vapors are still getting through. That is where UPR has taken the time to develop a multi-stage, multi-chamber catch can system that will deliver the best performance in both coalescing and condensing in hot or cold applications.

 

SNAKE OIL:

There have been a lot of unethical businesses that market catch cans with scare tactics; stories of blown engines, a bunch of Direct Injection nightmares, and so on. That makes it easy to be swayed, or for someone to make light of the benefits of catch cans without ever understanding the true function and benefits.

 

UPR stands behind their Catch Can Systems with a full warranty and guarantee to deliver performance and mpg benefits across the board.

Thanks for this explanation, a UPR catch can is on my wish list as soon as funds become available!

So what if I don't want the CSS? What changes in the install process. Are the two vavle covers still bridged by one hose? What connects to the large WOT valve on the catch can? Then what connects to the air box on the drivers side? Anyone have pics of an install without the CSS? Thanks

Here is my UPR Catch Can w/o CSS on my 2016 5.3L Sierra with GM Cold Air Intake.

Thank you, how would it differ if I kept the stock intake? Would the WOT nozzle on the catch can not be used?

With the stock intake you would have 1 open outlet on the airbox. You have 2, one for each cylinder bank. The hose on the top of the can goes onto one of those. That is why I went with the GM CAI instead of say, Cold Air Inductions - they also have 2 outlets on the tube. GM has one, so it works out for my case.

14-17 GM CHEVROLET GMC TRUCKS 5.3L DUAL VALVE CATCH CAN PLUG N PLAY ™

The new UPR Dual Valve Catch Can System without the CSS includes the connections needed for both sides. The WOT line will go from the catch can to the passenger side of the intake tube and the driver side valve cover where the oil cap used will be replaced with our quick connect insert and runs a line from the oil cap outlet to the driver side of the air intake. Feel free to PM me any questions you may have. This is was to be able to offer Full UPR Dual Valve Catch Can Systems with and without the CSS for the best of both worlds. We wanted to be sure to offer the best kit for each application.

 

We offer kits with and without for the 5.3 and 6.2 with and without cold air intakes.

 

Thank you, Joe

i just receve my upr catch can today... i was wondering if i want to keep my oil filer cap and dont put the css and that i plug off the second air fitting at the intake would it be ok or would i mess the setup....

 

sorry for my bad english

[Joe@UPRproducts]

The system is designed to pull the fresh air through the CSS mounted at the oil cap. The CSS can be removed very easily in a minute or two to be able to add or change the oil whenever you like. I always recommend the CSS for the best protection and to keep the filter and airbox fresh and clean.

but i dont have the css just the screw on thing that goes where the oil filer cap goes and then goes directly to the intake... can this make oil vapor go in the intake vs not putting this on and blocking one of the 2 intake vent and keeping my oil filer cap???

[Joe@UPRproducts]

You can Block one of them off if you prefer to keep the oil cap. I really recommend the full system as I never like to take any chances with allowing oil into the combustion chambers and it's not about the cost or profits etc. My main concern is having a bulletproof system that protects the engine anywhere oil can sneak in.

...My UPR 6.2 with CSS setup works great! I regularly dump the espresso gunk that would have been digested by the intake. I routed a clear hose off the bottom barb making it easy and clean to dump into a pan.

Also, has anyone experienced a vibration in the brake and gas pedals after installing a can?

 

I have no idea why it would have caused anything like that. I ran crc valve cleaner through it prior to putting the can on.

I'm experiencing the same vibration and found the issue to be the mounting of catch can to brake booster. Now looking for a better place to put the can. Where did you end up mounting it? 

 

Overall, UPR can kit is great just fixing this bothersome detail.

 

Funny, I also ran CRC cleaner prior to installing can and thought I had somehow messed up the engine...

[knkguillot]

I have the same vibration issue with the brake pedal after installing it as well. Looking for a resolution.
