I was talking to my cousin on the weekend and he has installed a catch can on his Hilux to help prevent a bit of carboning up in the air-intake (I think that's what he said it was for?) so I was wondering if they are worthwhile installing on a NT Pajero, or are they just a bit of a waste of money?

Better off blocking your egr than installing a catch can IMO..Previously an NP GLX 3.8 auto RIP

I agree about blocking off the EGR (either by a plate or stopping it opening via the SPV mod), but the intake manifold still will get oil vapours into it. Is that likely to be a problem? I only have the SPV mod, and wonder about the EGR blanking plate as well.Comment

Oil vapours alone will not cause any issues with your manifold. They will simply pass into the combustion chamber and be burnt..Previously an NP GLX 3.8 auto RIP

Agree Goodsy - the vapours should be burnt in the engine. However, in order to get to the intake manifold, the vapours have to pass through the turbo and maybe the airflow meter, and that is my concern.Comment

I did read somewhere that oil droplets hitting a high speed turbo vane isn't an ideal situation either. I don't have enough mechanical know how to get into it in depth (actually, not interested).Originally posted by erad View PostDicko. FNQ
