UPR Catch Can

[FTMaverick80]

This is my first direct injection car. I've been playing around with doing a catch can on my maverick 2.0. From the forum search here I found a company that makes it. Very expensive, but as I get older and more impatient, I'd rather just get all the hoses, brackets, and connections ready to go than trying to figure out which connection I need, make a bracket, etc. Not to be cheap, but I'll probably skip out on a clean side catch can to save money since I don't think it provide that much of a benefit.

My question is, will this effect any emissions or warranty stuff? I just don't want to give Ford or the dealership any excuses. Anything to worry about that I may not be taking into account?

I've been running a catch can in my Focus ST for many years. As far as warranty or emissions, a catch can is probably helping more that it could ever hurt. Honestly, it's probably something that should come as standard equipment on DI engines; it seems much cheaper than going to port/DI like many companies (including Ford) are going to.
The UPR stuff is very nice. I like Damond's setup on the ST, since it has the option of a drain hose. I've been in discussion with Matt at Damond regarding one for the Maverick. He's getting one in for testing and fitment soon, so I'll probably wait for theirs. The nice thing about buying a plug-and-play kit is that it will have the proper quick connect fittings, so, if necessary, you can revert back to stock very easily.

All 2022-2024 2.0l Mavericks come standard with a crankcase vent oil separator or more commonly known as a catch can.

Here is some information from the service manual about its location.

Thx for sharing,I also thought it came from the factory with one,but do you ever empty it? Or is the oil purged somewhere.

All Ford 4-cylinders sold in more than 20 years have an oil separator, even the Zetec from the 90's. The oil separator does not catch 100% of crankcase oil vapors. Pull your PCV hose (at the exit of the oil separator) out and look for oil in it if you don't believe me. A catch can also does not catch 100% of crankcase vapors. However, together they will catch more than either one by itself, as evidenced by those that own PCV or "dirty side" catch cans having to empty them. A "clean side", or breather side catch can will also catch breather vapors that the oil separator has no effect on whatsoever.

The liquid oil separated from the crankcase gasses drains back into the oil sump, and thus is why it's called a separator and not a catch can. Vaporized oil and blow-by gasses still exit the separator through the PCV valve, and are routed through the PCV hose into the intake manifold. If added to the PCV hose, a catch can will help reduce the amount of vaporized oil exiting the oil separator and entering the intake manifold.

I have the 2 can UPR kit and they work very well. I check them every 1-2 k miles and they are usually 2/3 full in this colder weather. All that crap did not end up on the back of the valves as deposits which is a good thing

Thanks for all the input. I guess it comes down to whether ford or the dealer will give me crap about installing an aftermarket accessory by myself. I already have a catch can on my other car.

Has anyone had to deal with warranty work after installing this? Did they give you grief?

Had my BCM update done and I have Dual UPR catch cans, S&B Intake, JB4, paddle shifters, Thermal exhaust and wheel spacers. They didn't say anything to me.
