DIY: Radium Single Catch Can Installation

[mr.suntorytime]

Will there be a dual catch can set up available for those that may track every now and then? Interested to see if anyone’s installed both and has the part list?

Completed 2 track days and 4000miles and barely filled the single catch halfway.

Resurrecting this thread to post pictures of the inside of the supercharger for those who want to see. There is a thin layer of oil in a 2.5 year old car that sees Wide Open Throttle (WOT) only when tracked 2-3 times a year, with other daily driving done in a somewhat responsible-adult-manner. I have been told this level of oil is normal for this car, and would not cause major issues as long as the oil is clean.

3 WOT pulls on a dyno with a "clean" supercharger lid resulted in a thin film of oil, so there is definitely some oil spray.

Obviously, a catch can system should reduce this oil film and buildup in the intercooler core, improving air flow and cooling.

Did we reach a conclusion on the one-can versus two-cans debate?
(both of my local tracks, Fuji Speedway and Suzuka, have prolonged WOT segments)

Don't know if it's been asked. Would adding a catch can affect the manufacturers warranty? I just picked up a eos green Emira

If they determine it caused something, yes.
