what catch can did you buy and why?

just purchased a new 2021 f150 3.5 and currently in the market for a catch can. i didn't realize there were so many options out there, anywhere from $129 to over $700. just curious if there is one that is most used here

the UPR looks nice but i cant believe the price once you add a few options.

below is my new pride and joy, the pro xp is right up there also

 

Just search the phrase and you'll fine some common brands.
JLT I think is a name?
You have 1 post -you haven't been able to see how many times similar questions are asked.
thank though for not asking if it is recommended or needed!

 

searched for hrs and found alot of threads most are asking if need or not. just want a simple recommendation. I know its not needed but im sure it helps.

I know i have 1 or 2 post. like i said i just bought my ford, been a GMC Sierra owner for years.

jlt is a brand i came across, but it looks like it only does the pcv side and not the turbo side. id like to do both sides

 

This may help....

 

I added a JLT catch can to my 2021 2 week old truck this week. It's the JLT one on the PCV side (which now is all I think is needed as it catches most every impurity that would make it into the intake. The rest is going to get handled by the port injection Ford went to a few years ago.

Like you it seems prudent but no longer mandatory as on the earlier one to prevent intake valve coking. About $150.00 so not too pricey.

Simple to install, remove the PVC to intake hose, mount the bracket to the battery box then click the two lines into the proper ports and you're done. Takes and hour to do if you are slow like I was.

I'd post a photo but BarryR above posted a video that is superior.

Maybe I'm wrong but here goes. Catch cans became very popular in street driven vehicles when manufactures went to Direct Injection, no gas in the intake manifold to wash the oil residue away. Now the 3.5 ECO and maybe all the F150 powertrains have Port Injection and Direct Injection.

Wouldn't the Port Injection wash the residue away? It wouldn't need to wash away an accumulation of residue like a Catch Can would contain over time, just wash as you go.

 

Even though the new system helps to keep residue off the valves, it does not prevent oil fumes from building up junk in the intake track. I also believe that burning oil will damage your down stream emissions components over time. An oil separator is cheap insurance especially if you end up with an engine that does fill up the catch can. Personally I like the JLT Performance products as they use factory connections on their best parts. Easy to install, and easy to remove later if you want to take it with you to your next vehicle. Still waiting for them to finish development on the catch can for the Powerboost. Not significantly different but they said they are working out the placement and hose length.

 

JLT is a quality catch can!!

 

Unless you're tracking it, you really don't need anything on the turbo side as you call it.

 

The 2nd gen port injection appears to be very superior in keeping the oil fumes out. I have yet to accumulate anything in my new f-150 eco boost (had it on for about a month), but my 2017 expedition (1st gen eco boost) collects a substantial amount between oil changes.
