The Damond Motorsports Oil Catch Can kits come with everything needed
for an optimized Oil Catch Can system. An oil catch can is, in a sense,
a filter for the positive crankcase ventilation system. The oil catch
can(OCC for short) is used to tap and contain blow-by oils and condensed
crankcase gases, that would otherwise flow throughout the PCV system
back into the intake tract, and allows for draining of these fluids
remotely. With the addition of an OCC kit, blow-by oils and gasses are
routed to the OCC, allowing them to be captured. This prevents the
blow-by from entering the intake system, where it would otherwise
contaminate the clean air entering the engine. Cleaner air leads to
better combustion, more power, better fuel economy, less detonation, and
less oily build-up on the valves.
What sets the Damond
Motorsports OCC kits apart from the rest, is that we fully test our OCC
components, to insure the best OCC set-up for your vehicle. Only high
quality components are used in the Damond Motorsports OCC kits. Our OCC
kits come tailored to fit your Focus ST perfectly, for a no-hassle,
quick and simple instillation.
The DM Stage 2 OCC kit connects
into the valve cover PCV/above engine induction tube hose connection.
Oily blow-by contaminates travel this path during boost, as the intake
is intended to pull a slight vacuum as air travels past the PCV port.
This causes a fine oily mist that would otherwise flow into the intake,
turbo, and eventually intercooler and piping. With the Stage 2 DM OCC
kit in place, the hoses route the blow-by to the OCC, where they can be
filtered and cleaner air is sent back into the intake. In turn the
primary benefits are: cleaner air mixture, and less oily build-up on the
valves and in the intake manifold. We also offer our Vent To Atmosphere
valve and filter to be added to the OCC. The VTA valve is a 1-way valve
which only allows excess crankcase pressure exceeding the intake’s
vacuum to be vented. The VTA valve is closed under engine vacuum or when
crankcase pressure is non-existent, to not allow un-metered air into
the system. The DM Stage 2 OCC kit is recommended along with and after
the DM Stage 1 OCC kit is installed.
Included in each Damond Motorsports Stage 2 OCC kit:
-A Damond Motorsports OCC
-Hose
splicer connectors to connect to the OEM hose to the OCC hoses, and
additional sized hose to fit various aftermarket induction tubes
-Oil and vacuum resistant Black hoses
-Location
specific bracket, and mounting hardware to mount the OCC off the HPFP
housing cover on the valve cover(sound symposer delete is needed as the
OCC takes up space of the SSD valve, we offer one here)
-Slim stainless steel hose clamps
-Zip ties to keep the hoses at bay
-Drain barb and hose included
-VTA kit optional, to vent excess crankcase pressure
The DM OCC features:
-Fully welded external aluminum structure. Welded on ports for a nice clean look, and to keep weight at a minimum.
-Layers
and layers and layers of perforated baffle plates, allowing a large
surface area for blow-by vapors to latch onto and keep the intake tract
clean. The bottom layer features an oil scraper. Blow-by is forced
directly onto the scraper, while the air is pushed around the sides of
the can to the back of the lower chamber. The air is then drawn up
diagonally through 3 more perforated plates, before it exits the top
chamber.
-A super easy to use high flowing drain valve.
-Powder coated for enhanced durability.
