Oil Catch Can - 63mtrspts pr VRP

Hello,

I have decided to get an Oil Catch Can. Just wondering who here has one and what brand? I'm debating between the 63motorsports one or VRP's. Leaning towards 63motorsports.

Any input is appreciated, thanks!

I have a Weistec CC and, while pricey, it's been great over the last several years.

Between the options you listed, I would go with the 63 Motorsports one.

An alternative would be to get the fittings from PLM and use any quality combination of hose and CC you'd like.

I have the Weistec CC as well and it has been working well since June 2014. All catch cans are oil/air separators. That is how they get the oil out of the fumes from the crank breather system (PCV) before it gets back to the intake manifold and condense inside of it.

I think the 63 Motorsports system looks better to me as well.

just empty it out at every oil change and see what's in there.

Based on fb forums the 63 cc seems to catch oil vapours in as early as about 1000 miles. Both weistec and 63cc looks like tanks. The weistec has pushlock hoses the 63 looks like ptfe which is more secure depending on what you need. 63 is already assembled with a made to suit secured screw in bracket with no drilling and weistec needs to be assembled with hoses and cut to size etc. but also has a bracket that is slide on?

quick google on ptfe vs pushlok is that ptfe is more expensive but yet still sold cheaper in their kit somehow compared to weistec
