How's the carbon/pollution issue on the Pootrols Dylan?

Any goss from their site?

The 4.2 has EGR aswell and is on the list to be blanked , just have to get some intake manifold gaskets so can clean it then block off EGR , no electrcal dramas because 4.2 is a oldschool motor without a computer

The 3L has dramas because of the computer , check lights and stuff , but is still highly recomended because that is one of the things that helps them melt pistons .... boost spikes from faulty map (or maff
) sensor and egr can get stuck open flooding in hot air so egt's go up and that is passed staight back to the intake through egr so it just gets hotter and hotter until the inevidable happens

Thanks mate. I was hoping to hear that. It's Good to see that it's not just a Triton issue, so at least the guys on here know have company...

Those ChipIt catch cans are in at last, exactly the same as the one on mine.
It's been on for over 7 weeks now and the line to the air intake hose is still bone dry but I haven't looked inside to see how much oil is in there instead of in the intercooler and compressor etc.

They also have another version with a spin on type filter and aluminium top which sounds good but I haven't seen it.
Some pics of the other version and prices would be good?

[sierra]

Got some pics.
First 3 are the original catch can that's on mine and the last 2 are the new one with alloy top and spin on filter.
I think the difference between cans with a filter and those with something like wire wool is the filtered cans remove all the oil.
Robert will post the prices later.

Sierra:-
I was just wondering if there was any significant differences or benefits between the 2 above pictured catch cans? I assume that they basically do the exact same job just one is a different version made of different materials and possibly more pricey, but I definately am no expert in 4x4's so I could be miles off.

Chip It:-
I'm definately keen on getting one of these Catch cans onto my ute ASAP (pending price of course)

Raz,
I like the look of the new can but would like a look at the inside of the filter to see if it's similar to an engine oil filter.
If it is, will it stop all the oil and does it get chucked in the bin and replaced because it can't be cleaned like the other one?

[sim_r32]

is the filter inside a pretty common size sierra? like something you could find at autobarn is it going to be a pain to get each time u need a new one?

The filter in the first catch can you could clean for sure and Justin or Robert could supply spare filters pretty cheap i would imagine, if you wanted spares?
The other might be a common filter that can be matched in the local store, depending on what it is?
I've asked Justin for a pic up the guts of the new version filter to see what it is.

Hi Raz

Filters are replacable of course ... we will carry spares.

The function is exactly the same.

Prices:
$99 for the metal type
$79 for the plastic type

Filter
Metal $22
Paper $15

**EDIT**

[Raz89]

I'm assuming here that the quoted prices include the catch can only with one filter but doesn't include the hoses and clamps etc to fit it, is this correct? Or are the hoses and fitting equipment included in this price?
Either way sign me up for a metal one please and also a spare metal filter, I would definately prefer it as a full package, just cus i'm lazy as and it will probably take me two weeks to get up the gumption to get off my arse and go buy the bits to fit it .

If you could do up an invoice and email it to me at the email address which is in your PMB that would be lovely .

On an unrelated note I'm hopefully putting in my Chip IT chip, EGR blank and Scott's Rods 3" exhaust this weekend, can't freaking wait! I'll definately let you know what I think of it and also might be in contact if I run into any problems (hopefully not ).

Good pics new44

The filters do not come with hose or clamps. Sorry guys

[CHIP IT]

Hi Guys

We have found a manufacturer that was will to make these for a better price than was quoted to us by his competitor

I means will get them for a better price and can pass it on:

Prices:
Metal type including filter element, clamps and hose: TOTAL $115
Plastic type including filter element, lamps and hose: TOTAL $95.00

Replacement Filters:
Metal $22
Paper $15

These filter housings are very compact and light weight so can be mounted anywhere.

Cheers

EDIT. Sorry guys the price of $99.00 includes filter but NOT hose and clamps

See corrected price above.

Does anyone notice much condensation being caught in the catch cans? cold weather especially. Seem to get a few drops every few hundred k`s.

Can't say I have. The few times that I've opened mine up, it has been oily only, but haven't checked in the recent cold weather. I'll take a look on the weekend and report back.

Hey Robert

I sent you an email today from work but I was hoping to place an order for one of these tonight and I didn't get a reply before I left work this arvo so i thought I'd just try get in contact with you here and you can just disregard the other email. Firstly I was just wondering if the previous NewTriton discount of free shipping was offered for these catch cans (I understand if it isn't as they aren't quite as expensive as a Chip). I also noticed that when I attempted to place an order for one of these on your website the price is $115 not the $99 that you have quoted here and also the Postage is shown as $25 on the products page but when you go to the checkout the postage is $50, which is ridiculous really as I got a full 3" exhaust setup for my ute freighted from Scott's Rods to Home HIll for $80 and it is massive.

If you'd be able to clear up these questions for me it would be muchly appreciated.
Cheers
Raz

Edit:- Read above to find why catch can is $115 now instead of $99.... sorry guys.

[Raz89]

HAHA shit looks like you beat me too it... Disregard the above jabber except for the part about the NewTriton discount and also the difference between freight on the product page and check out
