Catch Can Installed!

[bdaniel230]

There is some controversy about whether these things are needed or not. They must be drained periodically. I am still on the fence if I want to do it.

I will be installing mine on the dirty side, crankcase vent side, of my engine. If that gets a lot then I will also add one to the clean side, the one that is between the valve cover and the air intake.
A turbo increases the cylinder pressure and will force oil vapor back into the crankcase at a much higher rate than a normally aspirated engine. The direct injection is a cause of the valves getting carboned and valve stems getting sludgy, but the turbo in this motor is pretty small and won't be able to handle the crud that will build up on the fins of the compressor. I really don't want the expense of replacing the turbo every 50k as I plan on keeping this truck for at least 10 years, probably be my last vehicle, and since I am not sure how much longer I will be able to work on my vehicle, planning on making every modification to prevent future problems.

Wow two of them. If you had to do only one which side would it be on? To bad Ford didn't add the port injection too as other manufactures have.

This video shows the install on the clean side.
If you just do one I would suggest the dirty side. (pcv). That one is on the front of the engine under the intake by the radiator.
Harder to see but if you take the tube off that one's to the air filter you can reach it no problem. There is another post with a video of this. Kind of a long video unlike this one. But it shows both.

Thanks I appreciate it. Expect to get my truck sometime in Nov. Will get my son to help. He has experience with turbos. He turboed his entry level Neon now has an SRT 4 and a Subie STI.

Good thing the hybrid is port injection, no need for this

Didn’t thing of that. Good thing the hybrid doesn’t have a turbo either

Well this aged well... looks like it doesn't need either of those things to grenade itself

/s (don't take it personal, we are all Maverick owners in it together)

I'm a new Maverick 2.0EB owner and am curious as to your experience with the catch can over the last year. I'm torn on this issue, since Ford already incorporates an oil/air separator at the PVC location. Has your experience shown that you're still accumulating a lot of junk between oil changes?

Just installed a Mishimoto oil catch can on my 2.0 ecoboost Maverick! Instalation was super easy and straight forward (10-20min). Just an FYI the location I installed it at barely clears the hood so beware. I did make an installation video if your interested.

Just watched your video.a year in are you pleased with the product? And does it catch much oil? And are you emptying it every 5000 miles?

Yes I love it! I do empty it every 5,000 and it catches a decent amount of fluid (3-5 table spoons). I've put 22,000 miles on my truck and have noticed that road trips cause more fluid in the catch can. If you are gonna install a catch can, it might be easier and cheaper to buy a kit made for the Maverick. I know Boomba Racing makes a catch can for both the clean and dirty side. Good luck!

If it has a turbo you will want to get a catch can so the oil vapor from the crank case doesn't go into the turbo. It isn't just the valve stems that get gunked up, but the fins in the turbo will get clogged slowly then the turbo goes out right after the warranty goes out.

Doesn't the PVC hook up to the intake after the turbo?

 

[Timothyd]

Thank you so much. My truck will be here soon I want to install a catch can.your video made the process simple.

I just read from another poster that the Maverick already has a catch can installed from the factory.

Hi OP, I am planning to install the same can but I am bit confused.
The Mishimoto catch can has a "in" side and "out" side, can you help me understand which side is connected to which? Thanks!

See my illustration below.
Or it should be the other way around with the arrows and in/out?

My Maverick is on a train now, and I have a UPR Catch Can kit waiting on it. Here is the link

You configure these as kit when you make the purchase. I have a dirty side and a clean side can in my kit. They use Ford spec quick connects and the install looks very clean.

I really don’t want to gunk up the valves or turbo, so this will go on before I put the first 100 miles on the motor.

Here's a Maverick catch can installation video for both catch cans. The turbo/clean side is an easy install. The YouTube video is from a business that sells catch can kits (they are pricey). The dirty/PCV side is a much more challenging install because it's done by "feel", not visually....bring your patience and extra time for doing the dirty/PCV side install. Also removing the stock hoses will likely break their hose connectors. You might want to buy both OEM replacement connection hoses BEFORE installing the catch cans in case you want to restore to stock condition.

It will be the reverse of your drawing.
