I've been reading for years about evac systems and a lot of them work very nicely. I've made one of my own rather than pony up the big bucks.

1. Aluminum or stainless water bottle w/Cap
2. Two brass nipples
3. Small valve cover style air filter
4. Silicon sealant

Tools
1. Electric Drill and bits
2. Die Grinder

Heres the materials


Drilled the whole for the small air filter..


Air filter installed...


Drilled holes and installed brass nipples. This is the nipple going to the PCV and valve covers.


I cut a thin strip of sheet aluminum (one continuous 6' long stip) that I coiled into the interior of the bottle to act as a baffle.

The top nipple connects to a hose that is 'T'eed into the pipe between my Air Filter and the turbo inlet. This will always have a vacuum on it.

 

pics no worky

 

pictures please

 

Seriously? You can't see them? I see them fine. I even pressed refresh to make sure they weren't cached.

 

they work now?

 

Don't think that's going to work right. Have you ever looked inside a true catch can or breather tank? They're baffled, for a reason. Good idea, and nice thinking outside the box, but that's asking for messy trouble without baffles.

 

I forgot to mention it but mine does have a baffle in it.
Coils of thin sheet aluminum fill the interior. The incoming oil mist will arrive at the bottom, then battle the baffling to get to the top fitting. Hopefully, most oil will cling to the baffling and drain back to the bottom

 

All good then!

 

pics of said baffles

 

So... you want me to pull the cannster off the car, take it all apart so you can see a picture?
Lol.. I don't see that happening. I think I'll just cut another 6' ribbon of the aluminum sheet metal, put it in a clear plastic bottle and take a picture of that so you can envision what it looks like.

 

lol my bad man. I didn't know you had it in the car....lol

 

Some people use those stainless steel or Ni-Chrome scrubbing puff-***** in knock-out tanks as demisters.

 

I suppose anything that won't rust, oxidize or otherwise corrode will be great
Mine pulls out a lot of the condensation. My oil is looking pristine
I'd like to figure out some kind of solenoid/valve(or just a 'flapper valve'?) where it would open the cannisters drain anytime the engine isn't running but that's a future project.
