Black Market Race Catch Can

[DarkZupra]

Im slowly gathering parts for my Pure900 install, and I know that for the kind of PSI I may be putting out, its suggested to delete the PCV ports in the head and run a VTA catch can. I did some research and decided on the catch can from Black Market Race. Im slightly concerned with installing before I do the PCV delete as it runs a CCV VTA line as well, and I've read that if theres no check valve that could cause the can to fill quickly with oil, and that can cause at minimum a mess, and at worse a fire.

Anyone have any experience with VTA catch cans that can provide me a little guidance?

Running that additional line without a check valve resulted in enough smoke to make me look like James bond. Recommend keeping the check valve line in place and ideally keeping vacuum on it. Myself along with a few others have had positive results with this set up - the only way we found to not be smoke machines.

So basically - Ignore the CCV line and dont install it, and just do the PCV line and oil cap?

Correct, we all have seen positive results that way.

I have this can installed according to their instructions, pushing 42 peak PSI, and it works fine. CCV, PCV, and oil cap are VTA.

This is the issue im finding. One guy says its great, another has issues.

No issues with yours other then the relevant CEL?

Running Pure 800, BMR PCV,CCV, oil cap, and Vader Solutions PCV block off pins with no issues.

That's correct. Car is totally happy.

Are you running the road or drag housing?

Have run the road housing up to 32 PSI, and the drag to current 42. These are not the limits, just where I settled each time.

I recently installed the BMR PCV block-off pins with the BMR catch-can. I’m only running the PCV line and oil cap, and won’t be using the CCV line. I did purchase the CCV plug from BMR separately. Everything has been working great so far.

Interesting. BMR specifically told me to block off the CCV line once I installed the PCV Pins, otherwise the CCV line would fill the can with oil (and its not needed once the PCV holes are blocked).

That's correct. Car is totally happy.

Thank you sir.

Yeah that seems to be the way to go once the pins are installed. thanks.

Question for people reporting smoke and CCV problems:

When you installed head pins for the PCV ports, did you forget to give the valve cover a constant source of vacuum on the low side? There must be some sort of active pressure relief from the valve cover back to the intake manifold. You will have problems if you don't.

You can't just install a can, hammer in some pins, and be done.

@mustafazumit has tons of issues with his, and filling up fast with DAW ultraflow X at 30 psi

Does the Oil Cap vent handle this, or is something else needed?
