Engineered specifically for the Ford Ranger Raptor 3.0L Ecoboost, this Improved Racing oil catch can kit features a custom mounting bracket designed for a clean, accessible installation.
With a superior filtering efficiency of 85-90%, the CCS catch can captures oil vapor from crankcase fumes while adding minimal restriction to the system. This proactive filtration prevents harmful carbon deposits on intake valves, preserving engine health and performance over the long term.
DETAILS
Highly Efficient Air-Oil Separation
The CCS is designed to maximize air-oil separation, achieving a peak efficiency of 85-90%. For comparison, none of the competitors' catch cans we tested showed a peak efficiency of more than 60%. These results were achieved on our bench testing system at air flow rates of 0-4.0 CFM and vaporized oil injection rates of 0.20-0.30 grams of oil per minute.
Tangential Entry Port
Air enters the catch can manifold tangentially, causing it to spin.
The centrifugal force of the spinning air forces heavier particles to the outside of the manifold, where they combine into larger droplets.
Stainless Steel Filter
Multiple layers of stainless steel mesh of varying porosities are sintered together to form a single filter.
Effective filter rating is 100 microns.
Filter is made from 316 stainless steel and is washable.
Multiple O-Ring Seals
Three internal seals (shown in green) were used to ensure that no dirty air bypasses the filter. This is a major contributor to poor filtering efficiency and a very common problem we found in other catch cans.
One primary O-ring seals the top and bottom half of the catch can (shown in red).
Anti-Splash-Back Funnel
The stamped aluminum funnel prevents fluid in the reservoir from splashing back onto the exit port (another common problem found in some catch cans).
The funnel features spiral grooves which serve two purposes:
They help combine oil droplets so they drain quickly into the reservoir.
CFD simulations have shown they help spiral the air, contributing to cyclonic separation.
Bell Mouth Plenum
Extensive R&D went into designing the exit port plenum.
The bell mouth shape sheds oil droplets collected on its outer perimeter, preventing fluid from exiting the catch can.
The large bell mouth opening slows air velocity before exiting the catch can and reduces the probability of any fluid becoming entrained and exiting the can.
7 fl oz (207 ml) Reservoir
The 7.0 fl oz (207 ml) reservoir is more than sufficient for most engines and typically only needs draining with each oil change or after track days.
