Oil Catch Can Kit

119-A Hwy 183 Piedmont, SC 29673 Tech Support (864) 907-6004 Tech@DDMWorks.com

This Oil Catch can installs onto the engine’s breather system to catch the oil vapor and prevent it from enter-ing into the engine and decreasing performance. This is a great upgrade to protect your engine. Installation time of the oil catch can depends on you and your mechanical skills. It is suggested that you read through the directions a few times to familiarize yourself with the components of the kit, and your car. If you are pretty handy with tools the catch can will in-stall in about 30 minutes, however we suggest that you schedule at least an hour or two for the installation.

If you have any questions during the installation you can call us at (864) 907-6004 or email us at Tech@ddmworks.com

Before you start installing the Oil Catch Can you need to do the fol-lowing: 1. Make sure the car has had time to

cool as you will be working close to the engine.

2. Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery.

1. We have designed the oil catch can to be simple to install, and the first thing we recommend is to re-move the plastic valve cover on the motor if you have not done so already. You can re-install this after installing the catch can and removal makes installing the catch can a little easier. To remove the plastic cover, simply pull up on the corners of it and it will pop off of the tabs holding it down.

2. Next we need to move the stainless braided line that goes from the intake tube to the center of the valve cover out of the way. To do this remove it at the intake tube. There is a small whitish tab on the end of the hose were it connects to the intake tube. By pushing that tab over, it will release and allow you to pull back and remove the tube from the in-take. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN DOING THIS. The plastic nipple on the stock intake tubes are known to get very brittle, make sure you pull straight on the tube when removing it and DO NOT put any side pressure on the intake tube, it is very prone to cracking.

3. With that end off of the intake tract push the line up and towards the back of the engine moving it out of the way while we are working. We will re-attach this to the intake later.

4. You will need to remove the turbo inlet pipe elbow and the silicone coupler that attaches to the charge tube. This will make the next few steps much eas-ier. The two bolts that connect the inlet pipe to the turbo are 13mm and the clamps that hold the sili-cone coupler are 11mm. Remove both of these pieces and set them to the side.

5. Next, on the side of the turbo housing closest to the motor there is a steel line that attaches to the side of the valve cover towards the front. On the plate that attaches to the turbo there is a 10mm bolt holding it in. (Picture on right) You need to re-move this bolt to take that piece out. This is tricky as it takes an extension and universal joint usually to get the bolt off. Be careful not to lose this bolt. (If you do not have a universal joint one can be purchased at a local auto parts store for just a few dollars.)

6. Once the bolt is out you will need to use a small flat head screwdriver to pry the plate off of the turbo. This has a plug attached to the other side with rubber grommets on it so it may be a little tight but it will come out. Be careful not to bend the plate too much.

Installing the Oil Catch Can

Page 3

1. The first step to installing the oil catch can is to install the can in its location. There is an area right next to the fuse box that the catch can will be installed. The catch can was designed to fit over the bundles of wires that run under it and offer protection to them also. When in-stalling the catch can, make sure these large bundles fit underneath the catch can. You may need to move them around slightly to get them to fit.

2. You will need to remove the 10mm nut that holds down the little plastic bracket. Which is attached to the right side of the fuse box. The bracket on the catch can will slide right over that bolt and you will use the same nut to hold it in place. (This is a tight fit so you may need to use a pair of needle nose pliers to get the nut started.)

3. Tighten the nut down to secure the catch can in place. Now you can move on to the next step connecting the lines.

7. Once you pop it out you will need to take the other end off that attaches to the valve cover. To do this you will have to pull and twist the line to get it to break the little metal clips that hold it in. This is not easy and it will take time and strength, continuously turn it while you pull and eventually it should pop off. If the ring of little metal clips is left on the nipple when you pull it off make sure to remove that as well.

8. The next step is to remove the plate and plug from that line. They will go back on the turbo when we have removed them from the line.

9. Using a small screwdriver push in the small clips that hold the line to the nipple. Working your way around until the fuel line disconnects.

10. Once you have the nipple disconnected from the hose we need to reinstall this piece back on the turbo. Push the plug back into the side of the turbo and reuse the same bolt you took off to reattach the plate.

11. We will also need to re-install the turbo inlet pipe and silicone coupler to help with routing the tubes. Once these are all back in place you can move on to installing the Oil Catch Can.

This is the line that needs to come off.

At this point you should have moved both of these parts to make pulling the line off much easier.

4. Next we are going to run the 3/8” hose lines for the catch can. The first line we are going to run is from the front of the valve cover where you pulled/twisted off the hose. Take one end of the hose and slide on one of the hose clamps you were given in the kit and push it onto the nipple. Clamp this down and route the line underneath the turbo inlet pipe.

5. Leaving a little slack measure how much hose you need to get to the first barb on the OCC closest to engine. Once you have enough hose cut the hose with a sharp pair of scissors or a utility knife and slide over the barb on the OCC.

6. For the second hose we will essentially do the same thing. This hose will attach to the nipple we took the off earlier that was attached to the turbo. Once again slide on a hose clamp and push the hose over the nipple. Then tighten the clamp and route underneath the turbo inlet pipe. (There is no picture of this but you can reference the picture of this piece on the bottom of page 2.)

7. Once again measure how much hose you will need to get to the second barb on the OCC (furthest away from the engine). Cut this hose to fit and slide onto the barb.

8. Now there were two 5” pieces of reflective heat tape in your kit that we will be installing next. You will want to find were your 2 hoses are going to be clos-est to the turbo inlet and wrap that part with the re-flective tape. To do this lay the tape lengthwise with the hose and wrap it around. This will give you more coverage than just wrapping it the widthwise.

9. Lastly you need to make sure the drain valve located in the center on the Oil Catch Can near the bottom is spun all the way out. This is the drain for the OCC, if it is not all the way out it will spray oil and other contaminants into your engine bay.

10. You are all done with your OCC install, you can now go enjoy motoring.

Attach first line here.

Route under the turbo inlet.

IMPORTANT: Make sure your drain valve is spun all the way OUT. As pictured above
