RADIUMAUTO Catch Tank Kit for Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 10

-

A catch tank is essential on a high-performance vehicle to protect the engine from increased crankcase blow-by that accumulates during aggressive driving. Excess oil-saturated air flowing back into the intake stream can result in poor performance. Radium Engineering's surge tanks feature large 10AN ORB ports, a 4AN ORB drain port, 2-stage oil separators, and an o-ring sealed dipstick.

EVO X CATCH TANK KIT DETAILS :
Radium Engineering offers several completely independent catch tank kits for the Evo X, sold individually or together via the menu above. The first type does NOT vent to the atmosphere (VTA) and is therefore suitable for exhaust gases and trains. Closed systems direct clean, filtered air back into the engine to be combusted and create a negative pressure in the crankcase for optimal performance. In addition, closed systems prevent unwanted oil vapors from entering the interior. The Crankcase VTA Kit does not recirculate crankcase gases back into the engine and is intended for race cars that struggle with large amounts of blow-by gases.

The 20-0105 PCV Catch Tank Kit (shown below) is compatible with all 2008 thru 2016 EVO X models. It installs immediately behind the right headlight and plumbs in-line with the PCV hose. When the PCV valve is open, unwanted crankcase fumes, unused fuel, and oil sludge are drawn into the intake manifold. The catch can acts like an in-line filter, capturing and retaining the contaminants before they can enter the intake manifold. Note: Since the radium catch cans are pressure-tight, they are also suitable for applications with boost pressure. Connection to the intake manifold is permissible and withstands any boost pressure, a check valve is not required.

The PCV kit shown above is a closed system that requires a vacuum signal from the intake manifold to open the PCV valve.

NOTE : Some European models have headlight washer reservoirs that conflict with the PCV catch tank.

What's included in the PCV-Catch Tank Kit 20-0105 :
-Billet catch tank with integrated condenser and dipstick
-Laser cut powder coated RH mounting bracket
-Anodized aluminum hose ends and adapter fittings
-Enough 3/8" black PVC tubing for custom applications
-Stainless steel fasteners

The 20-0106-XX-FL Crankcase Catch Tank Kits (shown below) install just behind the left hand headlight and route in line with the crankcase ventilation hose. This is the hose that goes from the valve cover fitting to the turbo air intake pipe. On 2008 thru 2009 EVO X models that use the "metal" valve cover, the hose is 3/8" (10mm) in diameter and requires P/N 20-0106-08. On EVO X models 2010-2016 models that use the "plastic" valve cover, the hose is 1/2" (13mm) and requires P/N 20-0106-10. The above kits are designed for the OEM intake system. If an aftermarket intake system is installed, consider purchasing the 20-0300 Alternate Location Mount separately.

When the engine is running at high load (WOT), this hose flows out of the engine into the intake manifold. This draws unwanted crankcase fumes, unused fuel and oil sludge into the intake manifold of the air cleaner, turbocharger compressor, etc. This can lead to an accumulation of oil in the intercooler. Oil covering the interior of the charge air cooler reduces the charge air cooler thermal efficiency and performance. The catch can kit helps catch the contaminants before they can get into the intake manifold.

DUAL CATCH TANK KITS
The dual catch tank kits consist of the PCV and CCV kits.

20-0108-08 shown above. 20-0108-10 shown below.

Alternative assembly P/N: 20-0300

The Alternate Fastening Kit is required when a Radium Engineering crankcase catch tank kit interferes with other components such as an aftermarket induction system. The kit will work in conjunction with any of the EVO X crankcase catch tank kits listed above. The 20-0300 does NOT include a catch tank. Purchase in conjunction with Crankcase Separator Kit 20-0106-XX.

Alternative mounting kit :
-Black anodized laser cut bracket
-Screw M8x1.25mm made of stainless steel
- Hexagon head screw made of sheet metal
