Description
The Mishimoto Honda Civic 1.5L T Baffled Oil Catch Can, PCV Side (MMBCC-CIV-16PBE) is a two-port baffled catch can engineered specifically for the first turbocharged Honda engine sold in the US domestic market. Despite its small 1.5L displacement, this turbocharged engine still produces blow-by that needs to be managed, and Mishimoto’s unheated, twist-off billet 6061-T6 aluminum can is built to trap it before it can foul the intake tract.
Unlike many air-oil-separator systems that drain condensed blow-by back into the oil pan, this Mishimoto catch can keeps contaminants out of the engine for good. Because the can isn’t heated, oil vapors and contaminated fuel vapors are allowed to fully condense inside rather than passing through, which helps protect car engine parts and other components of an automobile engine from oil buildup. A 50 micron bronze filter and interior baffle work together to separate oil from air on the PCV side of the system, defending the intercooler, intake system, and other essential engine parts for car reliability. For anyone comparing parts of a car engine that keep a turbocharged Civic running clean, this catch can is a direct-fit solution that mounts in the back of the engine bay using an included application-specific bracket, complete with direct-fit hoses for an install Mishimoto estimates at under 30 minutes.
