Weapon R Oil Catch Can
I know I shouldn't be posting this in here, but I'm going to take a chance with it.
I have a brand NEW Weapon R Oil Catch Can that I never got to install on my SRT-4 before I sold it. I bought it for $100... if anyone is interested in it, please let me know... Letholsb21@aol.com. Asking $50.
I posted under "parts for sale" but I just want this to get more exposure.

RE: Weapon R Oil Catch Can
I had one as my first catchcan.
Its only good for the non PCV side cause there is a breather in the side of it that creates a vacume leak.
I plugged the breather but that didn't work so well. Then it couldn't handle boost. I made it 300 miles before I noticed It had cracked down the side.I got it welled upand made it 1400before cracking again. The problem is the metal isthin for 1 and 2 they grind down the welds and polish them making them thin aslo. Guess its not meant to be used thatway lol.
This is my experience with it just as a heads up.Ijust don't want potential buyer to be totally pissed at seller. I know I was pissed at my waisted money!

RE: Weapon R Oil Catch Can
its basically a check valve. as i understand it, it takes the unusedgasses from the engine and recycles them back into the intake manifold to be burned there. as this article mentions it also helps with circulation

What does the PCV valve do?
By Jakob Jelling

The PCV valve is a control device which sends partially burned gases that come from the engine's crankcase to the combustion chamber. Its name, PCV means Positive Crankcase Ventilation and is one of the oldest and most used emission control devices. Although its name might sound very complicated, it is a very simple device and its function can be easily understood.
Due to its tasks, the PCV valve is not only very useful but also implies important benefits. It completely eliminates crankcase emissions efficiently, avoiding that it becomes an air pollution factor. Besides, it also keeps the system free of moisture due to the constant air circulation that it implies.
Besides, the PCV valve also helps keeping the oil and the engine in proper shape extending their life as well. Also, its mechanism is very important for preventing the appearance of engine corrosion as well as it helps improving fuel economy. This way, the PCV valve is very important for different aspects and helps car owners maintaining their car’s engines in shape as well as providing them with a good administration of the fuel economy
The PCV valve routes crankcase partially burned gases back to the engine. Once these gases go back to the engine, they are re-burned, allowing this way a better use and administration of fuel. The cylinders are an important part in the process since they are who re-burn the gases rerouted from the PVC valve and have a central role in it.
Crankcase emissions can be a great source of air pollution, and therefore the PCV valve is very useful and important not only for the car functioning but also for the environment and health as well. Besides, this valve requires little maintenance and must be replaced at about 40.000 miles. This way, the PCV valve is an easy to maintain piece which implies an important amount of benefits that affect not only the car and its owner but also those who surround him and the environment in general due to the way in which it prevents gases from becoming air pollution factors.

RE: Weapon R Oil Catch Can
Motorboy1: You said the Weapon R has a breather in the side that creates a vaccume leak? It seems as if the less hoses in the cc, the least chance of creating a vaccume leak. What type of cc did you end up getting?
40,000 miles huh? I wonder if they really say 40k just because it's better for the environment. Where is the PCV valve located?

I went with the Campbell-Hausfeld water air separator for air lines. It works well just have to empty it pretty frequently. After waisting my money I went cheapwith something i knew would hold boost.
