Crankcase Billet Catch Can

[spoons]

This system keeps the oil & sludge from building up in your intake and filter, but still maintains the vacuum in the crankcase.

Installed on my 1997 Prowler:

Here is one set in the engine bay of a 1999-2002 Prowler. There is more room then on a 1997. The 1997 has dual throttle bodies.

Catch Can Prices:
$105 for the silver
+$20 for colors (blk, red, blue, purple)
+$20 for custom engraving.

Make sure you tell them what year, becuase the 1997 needs longer hoses. 1999-2002 require short hoses. These are the same catch cans used on all SRT8 models.
I will post more photos later. They also make billet cover for the oil cap, dip stick, power steering res, brake fluid res and soon they will fab one for washer fluid (it will cover the white plastic you can see)
Here is what one of the covers look like:

Some more pics:

I checked with Dean and he said that our Prowler's intake gets very dirt and he thought it was a good idea.

Here are some more photos of the billet catch can, power steering cap, brake fluid res cap and oil cap (they look even better in day light):

Very cool am gonna order a set. Thanks for the work Spoons! :tu:

[binster]

Same here. maybe we can get a group buy going? Also - how hard to unscrew the can based on where it landed in the engine compartment?

[spoons]

Unscrewing it easy. You should order one especially for your Charger. All the SRT8's I have seen around here have these catch cans.

Here is the catch can details for 1999-2002 Prowler.

I've had one on my Charger for about 1 year.. experience on that is can is full of sludge every 3k miles.. (To the top of can).. That is one important thing with these, can needs to be kept empty. Billet had talked about putting an eye glass on the catch can for fast visual..

hey now brian, i just put a catch can on my mr2 turbo, I paid like $20 with shipping so i think you got soaked. Its a ebay cheapo but does the trick and even has a sight glass. These cans are usually used on turbo and superchargered engines, stock motors shouldn't need them.................unless you have alot of blowby, and if thats the case, its time to rebuild.

Read this thread to see results on Mopar LX platform.. My charger had 3K miles when I installed, so the blowby is "as designed".. not wear and tear..

hey now, do what you want, its your money..............i'm sure the vendors are gonna love you guys.......

Well ,either the pictures are fake or the catch can is helpfull. If sludge is getting in there on relatively fresh engines, then what is there to debate?

[FatManInTheBathTub]

wow, you guys are right again............ pcv's systems are stupid.........everyone get in on this group buy cause your gonna sludge your motors if you dont........right???

[POOLKAT]

Don't get me wrong, I have no idea. I just saw the pics of sludge looking crap coming out of fresh motors, I thought. The canisters look kinda cool but I wouldn't do one unless it was helping somehow. So I say again, or those pics of that crap a real representation of crap that should be collected or are they not showing what it says they are showing?? The guys on the Charger forum seem like it is a no brainer cuz they SEE the crap. And Spoons says his catches the crap too. Are they kidding or overreacting or is it a good thing to have???

[FatManInTheBathTub]

hey now, pcv system remove blowby and burns it. Catch cans are for racing or motors that produce much more blowby, ie supercharged or turbo. If your catch can is aluminum or any metal for that matter, you will not only get oil vaper, which is sucked out of your motor but you will add water from condensation, oil+water=sludge................and the can brian uses don't even have a sight glass and its way to expensive. heck you can make one for $5 worth of parts. But you should ask some of the car experts on this site. I'm just a tater from crackerswamp rd.................head tater but a tater none the less................

[POOLKAT]

Now that is some good ole info. Shines another light on the story.

[spoons]

I talked with Dan at BT and they are just finishing up the washer fluid cap prototype and an oil cap with the Prowler logo. I will being going to see them next week for a fit check. They do have some of the products up on the website

http://www.custombilletstore.com/category_s/100.htm (http://www.custombilletstore.com/category_s/100.htm)
They will be offering a under the hood package one everything is completed and they are willing to offer a group discount.

[spoons]

Fatman,

I spoke with Dean at ProwlerPRO and he thought the catch can was useful since our motors intake does get pretty dirty. Catch cans are not just for Turbo or SG motors; most of the Vipers & SRT8's (NA) found them usefull and fill them up every 3k miles.

I agree with you; you can fab one up yourself using rubber hose and an air compressor filter (shown below) for $20-50. I like the idea of being able to see the oil level, but the capacity is very limited which might mean you would have to empty every 500-1000 miles?

I guess it comes down to preference. The air compressor filter will work, but the billet one looks cooler 8-)

[spoons]

Proof that is works:

After 300 miles of street use, I opened the catch can and found about 2 table spoons of oil in it:

hey now, look at that sludge............good thing you got all that dirty sludge out before it got burned,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,looks like you installed your high dollar catch can just in time!!! I mean dang, my mr2 filled the can half full in just 100 miles, I just poured it back in the motor,,,,,,,,you say you got that spoonfull(is this where you got your screen name?) after just 300 miles................wow

[AC-INXS]

hey now, did you guys get the alleycat stamp of approvial???

Jerry,,,no approval stamp here,,,,,I agree with your previously stated opinion. Surprised?

I do suggest everyone get one of those smokin' skeleton heads coming out of the grill though,,,,,,,,,to belong to the Little Havanna Low Riders Club like you.

[FatManInTheBathTub]

hey now ac, i thought i smelled your old ass around here. Tell the truth now, you know no one else can make the mods I do.........or make their prowlers go as fast as mine....................you still got that brown ring around your nose???

Here is the amount I collected after about 1000 miles.. Car was due for oil change, so you see the crap vs. spoon's car that looks like it just had an oil change.

Only Group Buy I can find is under "Dakota/Durango Hood Badge"...nothing under the Prowler section either for the Group Buy. Am I looking in the right place?

I ordered a set of chrome with kat logo from Chris yesterday and he said all he needed to complete the minimum 10 order for group buy is three (3). It is a good deal. Thanks Spoons...:tu:

[Dfotopro]

whats the cost for the kit

dj :beer:

[GeoProwler]

The group cost is $300 which includes the catch can. The savings is over $100 because if you decide to buy the covers separately, it would be over $400. :tu:
