ESE Tuning, Alta Performance Oil Catch Can Kit for MINI Cabrio S, Cooper S, R52, R53, Red

PROTECT YOUR ENGINE! ALERT, ALERT!!!!

Ok while your motor won’t explode tomorrow, it is an excellent idea to get a catch can in ASAP! The MINI Cooper S Supercharged engines are prone to accumulation of an oil sludge mixture forming inside the intake tract, intercooler, boost tubes etc.. This is a result of crankcase pressure and inefficient combustion. While this is normal operating procedure, it is a hindrance to making higher horsepower and increasing engine longevity. Oil vapor is forced out of the cylinder head and redirected through vacuum hoses into the intake stream. The oil vapor then condenses onto the inside surfaces in the intake system. This is especially prominent in the intercooler core. A thin film of oil coating the inside of the intercooler will insulate the air to air exchange and lower the ability of the intercooler to cool the intake air charge. Plus this oily vapor also carries dirt from the combustion process and places it in areas of the engine that were previously clean.

Why not take that crud and place it in an easy to mount, easy to clean and service can? Well now you can!

The ALTA Performance™ catch can will hold this oily byproduct while removing it from the intake air stream. Eliminating the engines of being forced to reburn this relatively noncombustible oil increases horsepower. Engine longevity is lengthened due to this oil not having the ability to gum up the valve train, supercharger, and various other moving parts and sensors. Intercooler efficiency is also increased. (For example remove the intercooler boots on your factory intercooler and look at the pooled yucky oil that has collected there. Imagine where it has collected that you CAN’T see! The ALTA Catch Can prevents that from happening!)

Valuable for daily driven street cars but truly a must have for track cars and those cars with our high boost supercharger pulley. Easy to clean, empty and maintain. A built in fluid site gauge will visually show when to empty the catch can.

Catch can body is constructed from 3 ply high temperature silicone. Included vacuum hoses are made from extruded silicone composite and color matched to the body of the catch can. All hose connectors are constructed of fiberglass reinforced ABS plastic and are rated to over 400 degrees.
