Maxi_z Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 After looking at the throttle body I noticed way too much oily deposits because of the oil vapour vent hose plugged just before and wanted to install some oil catch tank system On the exige v6 cup r there is as standard a Mocal oil catch tank with breather cap Radium makes some double oil catch tank that is not vented and recirculates to the standard connections for the evora but it should fit also on the exige v6 with small modifications Anyone is running some kind of oil catch tank and could post pictures or how did they connected it? Also could be interesting to see if there is oil and dirt differences depending on what air filter kit is used on the throttle body so you could maybe had a look and post pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattmahope Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 SSC do one that drains directly back into their baffled sump, which seems like quite a good solution. Would be interested to here thoughts on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 For a street car that needs to pass Governmental emission testing, a catch can setup that is not vented to the atmosphere would be advisable. Most, but not all, vapors will be captured. For a dedicated track car, a catch can vented to the atmosphere is the way to go. We added that setup with a drain back to the sump in my 2-Eleven. The factory installed Mocal catch can in the CupR does not drain back to the original oil pan. But, now that I have installed the Moroso sump with "bungs" available for a hose attachment, that may be the next project. 2-Eleven catch can .....

Mattmahope Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 This is the kit I mentioned above: https://www.simplysportscars.com/shop/all-products/10537-v6-exige-catch-can-kit Appears to be vented to the atmosphere and drains directly back into the Moroso baffled sump that they also sell: https://www.simplysportscars.com/shop/engine/10538-2gr-v6-baffled-alloy-sump This seems like a good set up to me. Do you think it would work well for a road/trackday car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me personally, I'd fit a Mocal type catch can that collects the oil which you have to empty manually and not feed it back into the intake.

Jack Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Matthew, It looks to be good. The only issue for a street car with this type of setup is that some oil vapor/odor will be present in the engine bay; and as SSC states --- With crankcase gasses breathing to atmosphere, some oil may condense at the top filter and run down the side of the can. 1 Quote Jack2008 2-Eleven2015 Exige V6 CupR Track videos ... http://www.youtube.com/jackcup2010 Lotus Challenge Series ULTRA Class champion2012 Lotus CUP USA OPEN Class champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
