Installing an oil catch can for the TB PCV

[Rexxenexx]

I bough this Mishimoto catch can for my EcoBoost but instead I’m gonna use it for the Typhoon. Fabbed up a bracket out of leftover aluminum and 3D printing a spacer to orient the EcoBoost bracket to the aluminum angle. So it should be easy to remove if need be. The space is tight back there, but just enough for all this to fit. Only thing that I’m not a fan of is the out to the TB is on the left (looking at it in the engine bay) so the hoses need to cross over to work properly. No biggie. I’ll take more pics when it’s done

Mishimoto makes some nice stuff.

Yeah, their brass elements inside are pretty cool. I bought this one for the Typhoon.
Its gonna be where the stock battery used to be. Just need to move some wires out of the way and figure out the plumbing for the driver side 3/4” hose and passenger side front pcv.


For the little pcv to TB catch can I just ordered two 3/8” barb x 1/2” npt elbows to replace the Mishimoto elbows. They’re too big. Better to keep the hoses the same size here since I want it to pull as much as possible. I might buy their drain valve kit because you can unscrew the cup, but there’s no room to get it out easy.

Wow! I love that! The position and bracket really make it look like as if it was an OEM Catch can. Great fabrication work!

Should be fun to drain. But it looks good.

I have another bracket design that brings the arm of the ring over the AC plug deal on the left. The place I took the designs to yesterday said they needed a DXF file. I was too exhausted (80F no AC drive) to tell them there are websites that convert drawings to DXFs. I literally had a 1:1 outline print. If they don’t know that by now they’re not the right people to work with IMO. Plus they‘re not that close to drive back and forth to. The guy I used to use disappeared and he used drawings exclusively. The plasma cutter he had scanned drawings and made the template on the touch screen. This was like 20 years ago . Anyways, the cool thing about this bracket is 1 the hoses go behind everything so you can easily unscrew and remove the can, 2 the barbs are on the proper side so the hoses don’t have to crossover each other, 3 the hoses will have a good curve to them to not put any pressure when the engine torques over, and 4 one of the hoses doesn’t have to lay between the upper intercooler hoses (Prob particular to my setup). I’ll get to this when I can. For now I need to find the right elbow barbs for the smaller hose so I don’t have to use a reducer with those donger 1/2” hoses. I might have to just make them with my SLA printer if they’re not available.
