ernst82 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Do you guys think an oil catch can is need for a ea82t. Only asking because my came with a prosport oil catch can installed but it was installed poorly. Should I fix the mounting and the hose routing or just remove it?

Turbone Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 If everything is there, I would connect it properly. I know my old EA82T could have used one and the current EJ probably could also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernst82 Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Everything is there, the last owner used zip ties to mount the can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presslab Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 If you have a lot of oil blow-by then keeping it could help with oil consumption. Otherwise you don't really need it. Oddly my EA82T w/ 160k mi uses less oil than my '92 EJ22 in the other car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanurys Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Same, here. My EJ25D looses more oil via PCV system than my N/A EA82. I have a catch can on the EA82 and mostly just get water. It prevents some oil from reaching the intake when I'm on steep hills or off camber slopes. I'd say definily get it working right for the EA82T, which would definily have more oil in the PCV system. I'm thinking about installing the same kind of can on the EJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
