Installed the RX Catch Can and cleanside this weekend on my '14 3.5L Ecoboost. After watching the video and looking at some pics it was relatively easy. My only tip would be to have a little rubbing alcohol on hand to help each the tubing on a couple fittings that were really tight. The kit was quality and everything was included. The only negative is it included extra parts and don't let them confuse you. I will post some pics tomorrow.


We drove the truck 150 miles over the weekend. I drained it today and we had 3 ounces of liquid. I was impressed! The trucks can really benefit from a catch can.

 

 

Can you install this if you have the AFE Stage 2? do you feel a difference at all? I hear it helps the octane.

 

what is the liquid?

 

Gas mileage has gone up a little but it's hard to say if I feel a difference. It could just be placebo. It can certainly be mounted with the AFE. Only the clean side separator attaches to the airbox and could be mounted in multiple spots.

That is from emptying the catch can. A mixture of gas/oil etc.

 

is there any concern about throwing oil away every 150 miles? or is it so little that it is not an issue?


What is normal OEM procedure for eliminating this volumetric increase in the motor? If one were to drive cross country wouldn't the oil pan explode about a quarter of the way.

 

I installed mine this weekend as well, but I had a little set back...

I drilled into the boss on the inlet pipe and it was cold - when the drill bit caught, it broke off a chunk. I have ordered a replacement from Tasca (~$40), but it looks like a biotch to install. I drilled another hole in the main pipe like you did and sealed the broken boss with some self fusing tape which works as a temporary fix...

 

Snake oil. Like the can itself.

 

Yep...

 

#1 - You are not feeling any increase in power, if you do, it's a placebo

#2 - You are not seeing any increase in fuel economy, if you think you do, it's a placebo or ambient conditions changing

#3 - The Fluid is a mixture of mostly water and some oil vapour emulsified in the water, making the "problem" (that isn't even there) seem much "worse" than it is. Remember where this fluid is headed...your engine has no problems burning this stuff off.

Yes, this is a direct injection motor and we don't have fuel injectors spraying the backsides of our intake valves off to keep them clean, but this isn't a race motor with loose rings and 20+ pounds of boost creating excessive blowby necessitating a catch can.

Yes, that **** looks like ****, but it's not hurting your motor.
