If you\u2019ve been keeping up with the news on GDI engines\n(Gasoline Direct Injection), you\u2019ve probably seen that these engines have a\nmajor design flaw. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early GDI engines overlooked the importance of preventing\ncarbon buildup on the intake valves and suffered from misfires once the carbon\nbuildup was too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, GDI engines are not the only ones affected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turbocharged engines produce a lot of blow-by once you\nreally get on the gas, therefore a lot of oil vapor from the crankcase is being\nsent to the intake to be burnt. Carbon buildup is something you definitely\ndon\u2019t want in your intake system as it will lead to expensive repairs in the\nlong run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, oil catch cans are the answer to that problem. Once you empty your oil catch can for the first time, you will be shocked at the nastiness that is entering your car’s intake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of Running an Oil Catch Can on Turbo Engines<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An oil catch can is a very simple device that does just that\n\u2013 catch oil. To be more specific, it catches motor oil from the vapor coming\nout of the crankcase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though a catch can is simple in design, it does make a BIG difference for direct injection and turbo diesel engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, modern internal combustion engines (due to\nincreasing emission regulations) are forced to burn oily crankcase vapors\nbecause venting outside is illegal. While this design does help the\nenvironment, it certainly doesn\u2019t help your car\u2019s engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter if the engine is fresh from the factory or has been running for half a million miles it has some amount of blow-by. Because of blow-by, nasty combustion byproducts (contaminants) enter the crankcase. Combined with air pressure created by the moving pistons, contaminants mix with oil mist, exit through a pressure relief hose, and get sent into the intake to be burnt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These oily contaminants stick to the intake manifold, intercooler, turbo, and intake valves. Not only do they coat the intercooler and the intake manifold which results in reduced airflow and air cooling \u2013 they ultimately stick to the intake valves and solidify. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the oil solidifies on the intake valves, the engine shows a loss in power and fuel economy. If it gets really bad, the engine starts knocking or detonating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Direct injection and turbocharged engines produce significantly more contaminants, which could lead to oil residue solidifying and damaging the turbo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
