UPR catch can for ecoboost

[ECO4_RDG]

Has any yet uses the UPR catch can for the eco boost mustang? Can't find any reviews for it so I thought I would ask here. Seems a bit pricy.

I'm waiting to see what Mishimoto comes out with simply because UPR's does seem pricey. For all I know, I could be completely wrong, though.

UPR cc supposedly has a 'better' SS filter and has quick releases on both ends of the hoses. "You don't have to unclip the hoses from the engine when dumping the caught oil"...But if the can is positioned correctly you can still unscrew the can from the filter top without having to disconnect hoses. I went with JLT.

I had a JLT can on my 11GT. They don't have one for the ecoboost yet though last I checked.

Until now the UPR Can is the only one on the market specifically designed for the Ecoboost Engine. The Ecoboost engine from factory does not evacuate Crankcase Pressure under boost. The UPR Catch Can fixes this issue and evacuates at all times keeping hamful contaminants out of you intake and from circulating around the engine. Their can also is not simply a Can with wire mesh in it. Its a proprietary design with 4 chambers to ensure that what comes in does not go back out.

Picture of the internal of the can:

I also have a thread going where for the sake of clutter I will try to keep all the information in that thread, the F150 Ecoboost forums only have about 2.2million threads about catch cans, and its difficult for us to keep track of and for customers to get the correct information.

Thanks for all the info everyone. I used a JLT one for my '12 V6, so I was surprised the UPR one was $250. I am interested in the mishimoto and if jlt is is producing one for our ecoboost

UPR 2015 Mustang Ecoboost Catch Can

This is what was Tested and Proven on the UPR 2015 Ecoboost Mustang system and it has performed flawlessly to say the least. But this is a much more complex system than anything available on the market. We have had years of experience with Traditional cans like Moroso and JLT which are a side by side inlet and outlet that let's 50% of the oil get sucked right through at a minimum.

That is why cans that small can be emptied so infrequently and never fill up. The system we have developed catches more oil and un-burnt fuel in a few hundred miles than the capacity of either the Moroso or JLT. These tests have been run so many times with the same results where the side by side designs give you the placebo effect.

That is the biggest reason we had to develop a special split level diffuser for our original catch can setup. Then eventually we went to our latest 4 Chamber setup to make it perform better than any other system ever developed. It is very important to understand how the system performs and the function of the 4 chambers vs a side by side pull through design can.

If anyone has any questions on catch cans and the system here is a pretty good explanation of how the ecoboost PCV works.

2015 Ecoboost PCV System Function and Flow Direction.

The system has a one directional flow that scavenges the clean air from the passenger side pickup on the intake tube right before the turbo and then get drawn through the crankcase and out the driver side swivel connection right above the starter coming out of the engine block. Then gets hooked to the throttle body to draw through the intake and get burned clean in the combustion chamber as per EPA regulations.

Testing was over 3000 extremely hard miles and testing it in every situation from cruising to flat out every day of testing. The passenger side yielded great results and the driver side stayed bone dry.

Ford has come leaps and bounds on designing the PCV system. But the driver side connection to the throttle body must be protected as it can really move some oil without a system in place.

The guys at MAK will be posting a complete set of pictures I just sent them.

Alright guys here are some pics of the new UPR kit installed since we have had some inquiries. They have changed it up a bit from the design of the F150, due to small differences in the motors, but the overall design still remains one of a kind as this is the only can that corrects the PCV system. There will also be a tandem upgrade available for this setup in the future.

I would like to know the difference between the single valve and dual valve catch can. I assume you are talking about the drain valve, but I rather ask and be sure than assume and be wrong. What is the benefits of the dual valve catch can over the single valve can?

The dual valve can allows you to utilize two sources of vacuum. In this case, vacuum from the intake manifold and from the turbo inlet. We include a one way check valve for the hose going to the intake manifold, so when the car is under boost, it only uses vacuum from the turbo inlet. It is the most effective and efficient setup!

(obviously, the single valve can only uses one vacuum source which is more ideal for a milder, or naturally aspirated engine)

Just a quick Update for everyone MAK will have UPR Dual and the Single Valve Catch Cans available Monday. We want to
make sure we have a setup for every application from MILD/Stock to WILD/Modified Ecoboost Mustangs. So we offer both
a UPR Single Valve Catch Can option and the UPR Dual Valve Catch Can option.

We will be posting pictures of the internals and explanation of the functions. MAK is a Premier Dealer offering great parts,
service and knowledge across every platform. But when it comes to the Ecoboost Platform they are one of the leaders.

See the Albums in my profile that we will be updating with all the new stuff we do to our Ecoboost Mustang.

Any comments from non-retailer/manufacturer members?
The JLT two can setup uses separate cans and short simple hoses. The UPR dual valve single can runs hoses all around the engine. Is the 'trade-off' using the UPR system the single/dual vacuum but the requirement to have a more complicated hose run?
UPR also says that the JLT cans only capture half of the oil that the UPR system does.

I had a single JLT can on my 11GT and it seemed to work fine. The 5.0 is NA so I'm guessing that changes the equation. I can tell you for sure that the internal pics of the UPR can are much more complex than the JLT one I had. Whether that means it works better I couldn't tell you for sure. I think I'll wait a bit till I see more info on all the systems and then decide which to buy.

Off topic, but where did you see a two can setup from JLT though? I haven't seen anything except what they have for the 5.0.

Just a bit more information on the complexity of the system. Hose length is beneficial as it give the oil vapors more time to cool before they reach the catch can and the increased volume handling capacity. It's never good to have cans mounted right above your engine as the HEAT acts like a furnace and heats the catch can, not allowing it to properly be able to separate the oil and air as it enters.

Our best performing systems are remote mounted or mounted off to the side to allow them to run cooler. The cooler they run the better the coalescing process is. Oil Coalescing is when the oil mist / vapor is able to cool and collect and become more of a solid and drain to the bottom via gravity.

I will supply drawings of the process and why it's critical not to use a side by side design like JLT / Moroso to get the best protection. UPR won't use sales pitch or name recognition to sell our systems. Real World Performance and Physics is the foundation for a True Oil Separator / Catch Can.
