Description
The Mishimoto MMBCC-ACRD15-18PBEBK is a direct-fit baffled oil catch can kit engineered specifically for the Honda Accord’s 1.5L L15B7 turbocharged engine. Unlike a universal setup, this kit ships with pre-molded hoses shaped to match the Accord’s engine bay and a dedicated mounting bracket, so it installs without cutting or splicing factory lines. At the heart of the kit is a patented (US D884,760 S), 3 oz. billet 6061 aluminum can with a twist-off lid and Viton O-ring seal, built to intercept blow-by before it reaches the intake tract.
Blow-by is a natural byproduct of automobile combustion that affects nearly every car engine, and the L15B7 powering this Accord is no exception. As crankcase pressure escapes, oil and fuel vapor travel back through the intake system, coating valves and other car engine parts with carbon deposits over time. Mishimoto’s catch can mounts in line with the PCV system and routes that vapor through a 50-micron bronze filter and internal baffle, separating oil from air before it can foul essential components of an automobile engine. An integrated check valve keeps boost pressure from reaching the can or crankcase, while CNC-machined aluminum barbed fittings keep the connection between hoses and can secure. For anyone comparing engine parts and car parts built to protect long-term performance, this catch can addresses one of the most overlooked systems among the parts of a car engine: the PCV circuit.
