Product Details
Today's direct fuel injection systems have taken engine performance to a whole new level, but there is a drawback. With no fuel vapors to clean the intake valves, the oil particles that are drawn into the intake from the PCV system will deposit themselves onto the intake valves and ports. Over time this will result in an excessive carbon buildup, resulting in lost power and poor drivability.
ECS Tuning now has the solution with our ECS Baffled Oil Catch Can System for the 8Y RS3. In house engineered, our system is designed to collect toxic blow-by gasses, reduce carbon build up and reduce concentrations of acids, oxidants and water within the engine oil.
Through multiple design iterations and tested prototypes, extensive long term testing and with the proper understanding of the DAZA engine's PCV system, we can confidently give you the finest oil catch can system available on the market!
Key benefits of the ECS Baffled Oil Catch Can System:
- Highly Efficient Oil Separator (Catch Can):
- Strategically positioned 4 chamber baffle system maximizes oil / air separation
- Engineered to create multiple changes in the direction of airflow within the separator to cause oil droplets to fall out of suspension before exiting the catch can
- Knurled and black anodized integrated oil dipstick makes inspecting oil volume of the reservoir clean and simple
- Fully serviceable for routine cleaning and maintenance; Includes 2.5mm allen key to remove baffle plates for cleaning
- -10AN ORB (O-Ring Boss) fittings for leak-free fitting connections
- 6061-T6 billet machined body, anodized black for lasting protection and appearance
- Easy to drain reservoir, simply un-threads from the oil separator for quick draining or cleaning
- The OEM RS3 fine oil (cyclonic) separator is retained. Due to the retention of this component, the catch can will not have to be emptied as often, as its focus will be on capturing the ultra-fine oil vapor*
- Engine cover fitment is maintained with no modifications needed and hoses are routed throughout the engine bay with OE-like push in clips that thread in to pre-existing studs on the firewall.
- Fit to to most restrictive engine compartment configuration, with viability to fit our ECS 6 oz catch can behind the stock airbox with no modifications needed, and no contact between our strategically routed catch can hoses and our aftermarket carbon intake tube
- Catch can mounting with dual-purpose thumb screws allow you to easily access the catch can for servicing while giving you the option to use a ratchet to tighten or loosen the thumb screws
- OE style appearance once installed
Design Features:
3-piece powder coated, bent sheet metal Catch can bracket that utilizes stock mounting locations, with black zinc coated stainless steel thumb screws to easily attach and detach the catch can for access and servicing
Heat resistant OEM+ style Nylon brackets thread directly into existing spots on the firewall, designed to securely fit our ECS catch can silicone hoses
Silicone hoses with strategically sculpted ends fit into the tight areas of the engine, fitting in what little room there is underneath the engine cover and on the turbo inlet, routing cleanly throughout the engine bay
Black Anodized billet aluminum oil separator outlet designed to fit identically to the OE plastic pieces fitment, bolting directly to the OE flange and sealing against the captive gasket, with provisions to easily install the OE pressure sensor. Sensor placement allows for harness rail to retain the sensor when reinstalled
Includes 18-8 and 304 stainless steel hardware
Engineered and manufactured in the USA, you can expect the very best performance, quality and longevity with our superior Oil Catch Can System from ECS Tuning!
*The ECS Baffled Oil Catch Can system was engineered to supplement the already stout OEM PCV system and collect the ultra-fine blow by gases and reduce the ingestion of oil vapors in the turbo inlet pipe. As such, you should not expect to collect mass amounts of fluid in the catch can reservoir as with the previous generation engines.
Note: The OE oil separator outlet hose will need to be cut in order to connect the Venturi to the catch can system that feeds into the turbo inlet, clip this hose where the hose ends and clean up the end to your liking, and attach it to the silicone catch can outlet hose
Not for sale or use in the state of California on any pollution-controlled vehicle as per the California Air Resources Board.
