MightyMouse Gen 5+ Catch Can Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- I examine and review the Mightymouse Gen 5+ catch can / oil separator. The new Gen 5+ has a new super centre piece that changes the direction of airflow. It is also self regulating in that it takes the place of the PCV valve and regulates air flow. I found the Mightymouse tool to be of great benefit for removing the top part of the catch can.

Thank you for actually taking one of these apart. I’ve been curious on the internal design.
Glad to be of assistance
You always make it look super easy in your tutorials, very informative!
Thanks so much for the comment, I do appreciate it :)
I see the beard has gone.... for now! Your videos are always very informative and easy to follow. That green tool looks cool! Your intros are always fun ! Thanks too for always being a great supporter! It is much appreciated!
Thanks so much !!!!! I do appreciate the great comment :) The beard is gone now, and like you say, for now....... It may return :) Thanks and enjoy your weekend :)
I'm learning about the cylinder head and catch cans well explained
You are going to be a mechanic before you know it !!!!
Wow! That intro was super bomb! Love it! 👍🏽😍. Great review! Super interesting! See you in your next! ❤️
Thanks soo much !!!! Appreciate the great comment :)
That green tool looks saweet
You need it with this !!!!
Except they could have designed the top to use a standard wrench !
@@WinnTeam I agree, but the only thing is that breather gets pushed onto the top, so the top has to stay round. I do wish there was a way for that, but not sure how they would incorporate flat spots for a wrench, unless they made the top a little taller. That would probably work. Thanks for the comment brother !!
thats a great review GK, thank you for sharing with us. Looking forward for the video to install it
Thanks for the great comment, much appreciated :)
Thanks for doing this, I like how you showed the can exploded, very cool. Let us know how it does on your car. Thinking of getting this.
For sure, going to do a video on how to instal it, and then we will see how it does on the car !!! Stay tuned :)
U look so much younger!
Yup the beard makes me look older for sure, now no one will take me seriously 😜
Heyy love thanks for the review and tutorial 💓 Great video 🤗
Thank you for the comment :)
Love the close shots! Awesome 👏🏽
Thanks so much, I really enjoyed reviewing this catch can. It is really good quality.
Whoa, GK shaved, but did Money tree?
Ha Ha !!!! He sure did brother, thanks for the comment :)
what a great review looks like a fab product
Its pretty cool indeed !!!! Thanks for the comment :)
I could use that green tool for painting. Thanks for this examination. It's a pretty cool piece and looking forward to the install.
Ha Ha, so that tool is good for more than just tightening the can top !!!!!!! Thanks soo much for the comment :)
thanks great video!
Thanks for the comment brother !!!!!
Great video! I just ordered my MM catch can hopefully it comes with the new gen 5+ set up!
Thanks for the great comment :) Its a very well built catch can. I think you will get the 5+ insert !!
Like the video, very good review and explanation of the product. It does look like a good product. This will be the one I get for my Z06, I liked the use of the maple leaf as well.
This can is a really good design, and like I said in the video, the quality is really good. The machining and finishing are superb. I'm glad you liked my maple leaf transition, had to put a bit of Canada in that and glad you caught it!!!! I will have the instal vid out in a few weeks. Thanks for the comment :)
Fresh intro
Always doing new intros, I try to make everyone different, keeps it fresh and everyone thinks, what will he do next !!!!!
21 like very good information fully watch.
Thanks soo much !!!! I do appreciate it :)
Solid vid, product seems good. Curious to see if that much mesh is really required, as even though it's mesh it still takes up significant volume inside the can.
I was surprised at the amount of mesh as well. The bottom of the can is separate from the mesh, maybe 1/4" so the oil can pool there, but its not a lot of space and would require you to empty the can every time you get gas. I empty mine all the time so its not an issue. I have been in touch with the owner of the company and he is a stand up guy. When going back and forth with him about design, he put a lot of thought (and time) into the design so I assume it's beneficial to it.
Another justme 🤗
Is this the same design you compared on your new car a while back when you got a lot of oil in the supercharger? I think you compared it to the elite engineering ultra
This is the MM can that was used on the Z06. The Ultra was tested on the Tacoma, the Ultra was never on the Z06.
Very good video explaining this, can you tell me when you are going to run it? What do you think of the quality of the machining? Do you think this will perform well?
I have to install it first LOL :) I should be installing it in the next week or so, so the install vid should be out end of this month/early next month by the time its edited and uploaded. I think the quality is fabulous, really I have no complaints. The machining and finish are superb. I think it should perform well. If you need anything else just let me know :)
The mesh looks like the sponge for cleaning pots. Multipurpose sponge🤣🤣
It does! ha ha !!! I was waiting for that!!!!
Nice fresh look on you :) fully watched but when above my heard lol... 👍💞
Thanks for that, and I do appreciate the watch!!!! Thank you :)
Arent both of those inlets? isnt the breather is the outlet?
Hey there, no only one is the inlet. Take a look at 4:45min mark, I show them really clear there. Inlet and Outlet are very different.
@@GarageKing gotcha, I must be looking at a different system. I was going to run a -10 hose from each of the valve covers into the catch can and no 'return'.
@@BLAC_WORX Thanks for the follow up. Its always good to run a return to the intake from the catch can so you have vacuum on the system. If you look at high horsepower engines they even have vacuum pumps on them. AN-10 is a good size hose (pretty much 1/2") but I would make sure you have vacuum on the system to clear it of blowby. Some people just run breathers and no vacuum, but then the only way your blowby is coming out is when you have pressure in the system. Not sure if I'm understanding you right, and I could be wrong in my interpretation of your comment, and perhaps you have a vacuum source on the crankcase.
This catch can for petrol car just wondering my car is diesel vw what can I use and it will increase hp
This catch cans is for petro cars. On the diesel you need a special one if you get one. They help to keep the engine valves clean so. For more horsepower on a diesel easiest way is probably to tune the computer if it is a newer one but the problem is more horsepower = more gas so it’s a trade off.
This is too funny to be true. Mighty Mouse takes something dead basic and complicates the hell out of it then charges big bucks for it. Your standard vehicle has a hose that redirects the crank case pressure back into the engine to be re-burned so to speak. The idea of a " catch can " is exactly that, the crank case vented fumes and particles pass through above a can which catches the droplets and it falls into the can. A hollow can with a wad of stainless steel wool from Walmart will do the trick. This is like putting lipstick on a pig and calling it something else. JLT Performance make a great one with factory type fittings and a bracket for half the price.
Thanks for the comment, you are right about a lot of things. Not sure if a hollowed out can with stainless steel will do.... You need to redirect the airflow to create a pressure drop. The JLT does this by hollowing out two cavities in the lid to force the air around. The New mightymouse tries to accomplish the same thing. Without getting too technical, you want to create the biggest flow distance from the inlet and outlet. I'm currently doing some back to back testing, ua-cam.com/video/waIz0vfefPY/v-deo.html and will be posting the results. Its actually quite interesting, and the factory for the most part has done a great job, but with the new direct injected engines its even more important to try to keep them clean. Thanks for the comment, and if you have any questions please let me know. I have read a few engineering papers and SAE articles regarding catch cans. Thanks for the comment
How do you drain it?🤷♂️
Hey Thanks for the comment brother. I actually take it out to drain it as I don't want it dripping all over the car. That's why when I installed it I used quick connects. You can see in my install vid that the quick connects allow it to be taken in and out very quickly. See video ua-cam.com/video/ZGP52F-Qf80/v-deo.html If you have any other questions just let me know.
Would you be willing to conduct a test between the latest MM and another design? Place the other design in series AFTER the MM can so it only gets the vapors AFTER they pass the MM and run 1000-2000 miles and then drain both and document, then clean both of all oil and reverse the order placing the other design first and the MM second and drive the same miles and same driving style and document what each caught? This is the only fair and accurate way to test effectiveness. Let me know and email me at: APDEG@aol.com and will provide the other design at no cost if your willing to devote the time and document all accurately. Thx!
Thanks for reaching out to me, I have sent an email to you.
That’s certainly NOT “the only fair and accurate way to test effectiveness.” Off the top of my head I can point out that the can’s ability to vent crank case pressure during a WOT situation would need to be measured. The can is more than an air/oil separator. Proper vent and proper pressure differential would need to be weighed.
