Calan Catch Cans

genegoesfast · 04-07-2011, 04:18 PM

Check out the new Calan catch can setup. I powder coated the raw aluminum and replaced the pcv system with an in-line 6an check valve. I also fabbed up a bracket for the can out of a piece of aluminum and powder coated it as well. Sorry for the crappy pics.

I like it.

1990AWD · 04-07-2011, 05:19 PM

Looks good!

Calan · 04-07-2011, 05:36 PM

Cool deal.

Please let us know how it works!

I like it!! One question though, why is your boost controller way up by your intake manifold!!!!?

genegoesfast · 04-07-2011, 06:07 PM

Sadly that's where it was when I bought it. I just haven't gotten around to moving it. Thanks for all the kind words!

Mine was there too. It doesn't make a difference if it is there or anywhere else including the cabin to be honest with you.

What exactly is the "Calan" catch can? It looks awesome by the way.

Calan · 04-07-2011, 06:21 PM

BTW - Out of all the cans I've built (and it's been quite a few

), this is the first one I've seen powder-coated.

JMiller · 04-07-2011, 06:29 PM

Very nice.

dsmrollerz90 · 04-07-2011, 06:40 PM

Does the boost controller make any noise? I want to put it in the cabin.

Because Calan builds them.

genegoesfast · 04-07-2011, 06:44 PM

Haha!

KyDSM · 04-07-2011, 11:33 PM

Wow. That has to be my favorite catch can. Where did you get it?

Guessing you didn't read the thread...

I know right meow!

snowborder714 · 04-08-2011, 01:06 AM

Threadjack much?

phunny · 04-08-2011, 02:21 AM

Both designs looks very nice imho.

Looks are deceiving though; the first one is a sealed ventilation setup, and uses specially designed coalescing filters on the can inputs that can remove sub-micron particles and aerosols while actively working to maintain lower crankcase pressures.

The other one is just an empty can with paper filters on top vented to atmosphere... but it is pretty!

greengoblin · 04-08-2011, 10:01 AM

Looks great. I can say that with out a doubt craig(calan)makes one of the best catch cans on the market.

Agree!

Calan · 04-08-2011, 05:53 PM

Thanks guys...I appreciate it.

turbotalon1g · 04-08-2011, 07:53 PM

Calan's catch can is the shit, i had on my old car and now I have it on my current car.

I will not buy any other catch can because its just a waste of money.

Thanks for making an awesome product.

dwdsm · 05-15-2011, 07:02 PM

I finally got the nerve to install my catch cans that I purchased from Calan. I'm all about the DIY but have very little experience welding. It was the first time I ever welded anything but flux core. No more popping dipstick! Notice the custom splash guard under the catch cans.

Should reverse the hoses, line to the intake should be on top, so when they fill (if they fill) the intake isn't sucking mass quantities of sludge.

VETTE_50_TH · 05-15-2011, 08:51 PM

Holy hose.

He's got it right according to Calan's instructions

The inlet is the top, the outlet is the side. This is important to remember for making sure the cans work as designed.

Calan · 05-15-2011, 09:16 PM

Wow... don't think I've ever seen two of them hooked up that way (one can per each VC outlet with it's own line to the intake). But that is correct...inlet on top, outlet to suction on the side.

Please keep us posted on how it works for you Dave.

urmomsaniceguy · 05-15-2011, 09:36 PM

Shouldn't there be fresh air going in?

Craig, I changed my mind after I ordered them from you and decided to go all out. Do you think this will work fine? I'll get some readings later this summer and let you know.

VETTE_50_TH "Holy hose." The brightness or the size? It's earls pushlok and rated up to 250psi. I like a bright ricerish engine bay anyhow, although I did go a bit far with the blue!
