SpeedFactory Racing Oil Catch Cans & Crankcase Ventilation Systems
Oil Catch Cans for Turbocharged Honda & Acura Engines
SpeedFactory Racing offers oil catch cans, crankcase breather components, coolant overflow tanks, and hose kits for high-performance Honda and Acura applications.
Our lineup includes multi-filter catch cans, angled catch can configurations, integrated coolant overflow solutions, and components for custom crankcase ventilation systems.
Why Use an Oil Catch Can?
During engine operation, combustion gases can pass the piston rings and enter the crankcase. This is known as blow-by.
A properly designed crankcase ventilation system helps manage crankcase pressure and routes or separates oil vapor and gases according to the system's design.
Oil catch cans can help collect oil and moisture from crankcase ventilation gases. Their effectiveness depends on internal design, airflow capacity, plumbing, and maintenance.
SpeedFactory Racing 3-Filter Oil Catch Cans
SpeedFactory Racing offers 3-filter oil catch cans for performance and racing applications.
Multi-filter configurations provide venting options for engines requiring aftermarket crankcase ventilation systems, including certain high-boost turbocharged builds.
The appropriate catch can and ventilation configuration depends on engine condition, blow-by volume, intended use, and applicable emissions requirements.
Angled Catch Cans & Integrated Coolant Overflow Tanks
SpeedFactory Racing also offers angled oil catch cans, including configurations with integrated coolant overflow tanks.
These designs can provide useful packaging options in modified engine bays where space is limited.
Combined catch can and overflow configurations allow builders to organize multiple fluid-management components within a compact installation.
-10AN Breather Hose Kits & B-Series Crankcase Fittings
SpeedFactory Racing offers -10AN hose and fitting kits and selected B-Series crankcase ventilation components.
AN-style fittings and compatible hose can be used to construct custom ventilation plumbing between the engine and a catch can or breather system.
When selecting components, consider port sizes, hose routing, airflow requirements, heat exposure, and compatibility with the intended ventilation configuration.
Frequently Asked Questions About Oil Catch Cans
Do turbocharged Honda engines need an oil catch can?
Some modified turbocharged engines benefit from upgraded crankcase ventilation or oil separation systems. The appropriate configuration depends on the engine, boost conditions, intended use, and emissions requirements.
What causes excessive crankcase pressure?
Crankcase pressure can increase due to combustion blow-by, restrictions in the ventilation system, or other mechanical conditions. Excessive pressure should be diagnosed rather than addressed solely by installing a larger catch can.
What is the difference between a vented and closed catch can?
A vented catch can releases crankcase gases through a breather arrangement, while a closed system routes gases back through an appropriate engine intake or ventilation circuit. The correct design depends on the application and applicable regulations.
How often should an oil catch can be emptied?
Service intervals depend on engine condition, operating conditions, catch can capacity, and the amount of collected oil and moisture. Inspect the system regularly and follow the product's maintenance instructions.
Choosing the Right SpeedFactory Racing Catch Can System
When selecting an oil catch can or crankcase ventilation system, consider engine platform, intended horsepower, boost level, blow-by volume, installation space, hose size, and whether the vehicle is street-driven or used exclusively in competition.
