Hi all,
Who’s running a catch can / oil separator? Any thoughts and recommendations?

I was running the Ford performance CC on the driver's side.
It seemed to be OK, didn't fill very quickly and was easy to empty.

I'm looking at getting the UPR twin can set up now.

I’m guessing the twin set up is for the GT?

Yes, I have a GT. AFAIK The FP CC was for the Gen 2 engine, so the hard mouting features on the CC body didn't locate onto my Gen 3 engine, as my GT is a 2019.
Furthermore, internet lore suggests the engine pushes little to no oil at all, through the passenger side, so I didn't bother fitting a CC for that side of the engine.

However, the car is now modified, the FP CC no longer fits, and I suspect I will need a CC for both sides now, hence lookng at the UPR set-up.
The UPR set-up is ridiculously priced, but in the apparent absence of a competitor product....
Perhaps I should look into desigining a product to be made here in the U.K.

I realise for some the subject of CCs can split opinion, but mine did actually catch a little oil which would have otherwise been piped back into the motor.
My personal preference was for that not to happen and that I'd rather catch that oil dispose of it.

EDIT:
Oops! I've just noticed your profile suggests you've an Ecoboost engine?
I've no 1st hand experience of that engine.
I'd reckon @Manders Mustang is your Man.

i have the ford one on the drivers side at the moment but when i finally fit the charger i'll be putting upr ones on both side and venting to atmosphere rather than in a closed system like the ford one

I've been running the Mishimoto catch can on my ecoboost since new. I empty/clean the can every 1000 miles or so, where it's usually collected 20-30ml. No issues and very happy with it, but can't say whether others are any better.

I've got JLT Performance one on both sides. IMO it was a waste of money getting the passengers side, I have not had a drop of oil caught in it for over 7K miles. Drivers side catches about 1/3 volume of the can after about 3K miles on mine.

Passenger side as per UK standards (RHD)?

I have the Ford Performance catch can, only passenger side in my LHD!

Sorry mate. Yes I mean as per RHD

I bet the JLT is way better to clean and empty than the Ford Performance...

 

[Adz]

Its basically: unscrew, empty, wipe inside with blue roll, then screw on.

It says after 10k to clean the filter with some degreaser

JLT catch cans on both sides.

Only recommend a UK drivers side on NA application.

Both sides on boosted applications.

If boosted, I wouldn't recommend having those filters which just let the oil into the engine bay as it would so become caked in oil.
