Oil Catch Can
I was wondering if an oil catch can was a justifiable mod to have on a N/A Yaris. I do race and auto-x my car. I really want to know if it is worthless or an ok preventitive mod. Thanks in advance.

couldn't hurt, if you really are thinking about getting one try a cheaper solution first before purchasing a more expensive one - not all engines are the same (ie if I need one, it doesn't mean that you will absolutely need one as well)

hello all , kinda a general question here but didn't want to start a new thread , my question is if you are running an oil catch can with a turbo does it make sense to have a crankcase vent ? or will it even do anything

I doubt you'd ever feel any difference. Have you emptied you catch can yet to see what's in it? I have the hardest time remembering to empty mine. I actually remembered last week. I have a ball valve drain on mine. I emptied what would be probably 1/8 of the full volume of the can. It looked like the typical chocolate milk color and stinky as usual. I probably had driven 1500 kms. Not a lot, but much better than having it sucked back into my manifold, weakening my effective octane rating. I don't think you'll see any benefit to running higher octane (premium) gas. As far as I know, your engine is naturally aspirated with a compression ratio under 10:1.

Oh yeah, for sure. I think they are a great idea. Keeping that crap out of your intake can only be good for the engine. Why not post up a pic of what comes out of the can? It would be cool to compare.

FYI, I put a catch can on my wife's 08 Yaris some years ago, and at the regular oil changes (5000 mile intervals) it collects 10-15 cc's of oil that would otherwise have gone into the intake and behind the valves to form deposits. No, the car does not burn any noticeable oil between oil changes so there is no excess blowby into the crankcase; I've see similar oil collection rates on other cars I have had with catch cans. On these direct injection engines you can't add fuel system cleaner to get at the deposits on the valves, so PREVENTION is the best cure to maintain a clean system.

deff more than I thought it was gonna be so thats good, only installed for about a month of normal driving , I've only drove it hard a few times cuz its a new car. I've heard putting stainless steel wool in the bottom of the can helps to collect oil but this can does have a 2 stage baffle so I dont know if the wool is necessary.
