Catch Can

[PWR4HIM]

I just trade my ‘21 Rebel for a ‘25 and it of course has the Hurricane engine. I was a BMW tech for 15 years in a prior career and saw first hand how nasty the Intakes got on the direct injected turbo engines, so this one does worry me a bit.

I have searched and searched and can’t find anyone that has done a catch can for the 3.0 hurricanes yet. I found a kit for the 2.0l turbo that is in the jeeps, but the intake systems appear to be quite different.

Has anyone on here seen or found one yet? I have found a small crank case vent line on the engine I can likely make a kit for, which may be what I try if no kits are readily available.

I haven't seen any threads about catch cans on the Hurricane engines so far. Seems like it's something that people would have at least looked into by now.

Can ask on the Jeep Wagoneer groups to see if anyone there has done one

I will be starting the journey to make a kit myself this week. Looks like it might need two cans, one with a check valve as it will be under boost at times and would this pressurize the can and crankcase. I will document it and make some notes.

I put a catch can on mine first week I had it (got it in February 25') on Tungsten HO. Have 2,500 miles and it is definitely collecting the sludge. I put them on every vehicle I have with Direct Fuel Injection that has a PCV (positive crankcase ventilation). Have them on a new Lincoln Navigator and 23' BMW Z4M. I prefer OSC when possible (they come in black or silver/titanium), but the BMW required a different brand. Ridiculously easy to install and easy to clean (empty every 5-8K miles as needed). Have had them on multiple other vehicles before these three I currently own and they 100% do their job without robbing any power or even changing the overall function of the PCV system (just cleaning it up, drop by drop) and are actually improving it by keeping it's lines and ports clean over the years. I still kept the original/factory vent hose though just in case of warranty issues and a dealership getting a bug up their **** about the engine having a supposed "mod". I've never ran into that by any dealer, but still (BMW dealerships though are a real treat to deal with). The reason you will never see this installed by any auto manufacturer is that they do not care about the longevity of the engine past their own manufacturer's powertrain warranties, which always excludes "normal wear and tear" that includes build-up and caking from fuels and lubricants. So, they save time, money, and weight on something that ultimately does not affect them as the manufacturer.

I did a video a couple of weeks ago.

How did that K&N work for you? Seeing it in your video, I found it on Amazon …. and the reviews are mixed. The complaints about the clamps I can get passed — but the reviews stating it tripped codes make me take pause.

It's been good for me, no complaints.

Can you give an update on the number of miles you've driven since it was added, and how much oil it captured?

Ordered one yesterday......certainly can't hurt anything not having all that crap going back into the engine.
