REVIEW - Mfactory oil catch can

Black04SpecV · 2008-07-09 12:00:12

I have researched almost all oil catch cans available. I wanted something nice, not pricey like Greddy oil catch can ($95 shipped). I also didn't want any of that cheap crap ebay is flooded with.

I ended up with Mfactory oil catch can. I got it through one of the Mfactory vendors on some Honda site for $50 shipped, which is NOT bad, considering OBX catch cans cost more than that on ebay .

I was little skeptical when I saw that the can shipped from Hong Kong. I thought, well another chinese crap...oh well. The shipping took little longer 7-10 business days I believe. I guess thats expected when your item is coming from Hong Kong. When I opened the box I was pleasantly surprised. Everything was nicely packed and the quality of the catch can surprised me. Even the hose was a nice good quality hose. Here is a picture of the contents of the box;

The catch can is made from aluminum, which is nice and thick. The can is painted black which blends nicely in my black car. The can also has a nice shape and size to it. Its not as big as Greddy oil catch can nor is it as small as the Home Depot catch can some of the turbo guys are running. It has a drain plug as well, which most oil catch cans don't have. Greddy oil catch can doesn't have a drain plug... You can also unscrew the top of the can for even quicker emptying. Here is a picture of the catch can assembled;

The only and the only downside of the can is that it doesn't come with any mounting bracket. I had to improvise and make a bracket from mounting bracket for a Home Depot Blind. Here is a picture of the bracket;

Right now I used black zip-ties to secure the catch can to the bracket. It should work fine, I will probably pick up a right size screw clamp and secure it with a screw clamp. Here is a picture of the catch can installed with all the hoses hooked up;

Overall I believe this is one of the best oil catch cans out there.

What do you mean by "the hoses will collapse"?

silverspec · 2008-07-16 18:36:14

That type of hose acctually will suck in on itself (collapse), and not let air through. I seen it happen on a spec. Get good vacuum hose thats reinforced like heater hose for saftey. Or just keep a eye on it. Just wanted to give you a heads up.

SpecV118 · 2008-07-16 18:37:10

have a part number or link?

does look like decent quality, it would be nice if it had a window or something though

It has a see through hose on the side, which acts as a measuring device so you know how much oil is in the can.

I've seen those hose collapse and start fires before on turbo cars.
Anyways why do you plum the line back in before the turbo and not say right before the TB?

The hose won't "collapse" in on itself as we use reinforced hosing. If you hold the hose in your hand and try squeezing it together, you will realize just how tough it really is.

The cheap "clear" hose that you see a lot of on eBay is the hose that will collapse in on itself, not ours

Oh well...

I clicked the link from Honda site and paid $49.

I bet MFactory can do a GB for these, they did on Honda-Tech.com.

Yup my PCV valve has been gutted out.

xxchuncexx · 2008-07-19 16:41:57

Do you have pics of that? Big J's don't work..

Red_Spec · 2008-07-20 00:10:35

isnt the oil catch can supposed to be between the rear pvc line and the intake manifold? That looks like its connected to your air intake...

illestfob · 2008-07-20 01:35:25

it's a modded set up for better idle for f/i specs

Anyone have those pics of how to gut the PCV?

xxchuncexx · 2008-08-20 17:05:48

How did you mount this bad boy? Mine came with an "L" bracket but I can't figure out a good way to mount the thing.

2k4Spec · 2008-08-20 17:17:24
