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.

    • Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
    • First off you mentioned "Toyo Says" and then gave the pressures 45/50, was this some person at the tire shop that pulled those numbers out of his head ?   Now of course I can't know your exact axle weights front and rear, however I have much the same pickup as yourself other than not knowing your starting weight as per the pounds the truck rolled out of the factory at due to the options yours did or didn't come with or what you have added beyond the extra tire weight. The correct way to know 100% where a person is at is by weighing each axle with the typical weight the vehicle is driven with and that means taking into account passengers and making sure you figure in a full tank of fuel and a little grace for whatever you may put in the bed "groceries" !    I am looking at and not that it really matters as all the tire companies use the same charts anyway, but I am looking at the comprehensive Toyo tire chart in the section that your tire falls under and I know it sounds confusing but your tire is not an LT metric tire like your factory tire but instead because its a standard inch measured tire its under a different category called an LT floatation series tire. That makes a difference as LT metric tires they don't want to see run below 35 psi at highway speed where as with the LT floatation series it can be run down to 25 psi on the highway as long as the weight on the said size of tire is agreeable with or less than that minimum 25 psi. It blows many people away that how is this physically possible, an empty truck for one thing and larger tires with the same size wheel diameter have a lot more air volume so they can carry the same weight as the smaller tire with less air pressure.    So my truck, I have the stock 275/65R20 wheels and tires and I have a bit of weight in the box with a bak flip cover and a rubber bed mat and some tools and spare gas. The front of my gas truck weighs a bit more than some trucks of the similar spec due to double batteries and alternators. However with full fuel and just me in the truck I am weighted such that I can run 40 front and 35 rear and so that is what I have done since day one.    If I base your truck at or slightly below the weight of my truck, in theory with your tires going by the tire chart you might be right around a minimum of 30 pounds front and 25 pounds rear. Of course that would hit pretty much minimum cold inflation pressure one could run with that tire size and a near empty truck. If you have access to an accurate weigh scale to do individual front and rear axle weights I would suggest you do that and make sure your topped up with fuel and whatever else in the truck before you weigh it and then you will have a great starting point to work off of and figure out what your bare minimum pressures are you can safely run. If you do much in the way of hot weather high speed driving, bumping up a bit for a safety margin is never a bad idea but just depends on what type of driving you do. I will include the Toyo chart and the floatation series sizes start on page 31. Without a doubt at these pressures I am speculating at minimum wise for your truck, it would most certainly ride very different then it did when you were using 55 lb front and rear.     https://www.toyotires.com/media/pxcjubjs/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20200723.pdf
    • Take an automotive stethoscope to the vacuum pump. Iirc those tick as well. 
    • This landing is worse than most. Patchy blacktop with washouts, soft gravel/sand at bottom that washes out with every heavy rain. I tell everyone to put it in 4WD. A lot of them think they can pull out their trailer in 2WD. They end up digging a hole and then putting it in 4WD.  The lake is a pristine lake and has a lot of money on it. There are several wake boats and lot of large tritoons. The people with the money don't want it improved because they don't want more traffic.    Boat Landing 1.jfif Boat Landing 2.jfif Boat Landing 3.jfif
    • How wide are your rims?   Toyo specs 8.5-10.0-11.0 inches. My thought would be rim might be pulling the tire inwards creating a center that is more pronounced.    I also noticed that the spec sheet says max 65psi. So you could be right lowering the pressure to ~40 psi.
