Radium Engineering Fluid Lock Catch Can Kit - Mitsubishi Evo 8-9 (PCV RH)

Protect your Evo's intake system with the ultimate catch can technology - Radium Engineering's patented Fluid Lock system. Engineered specifically for the 2003-2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII and IX (CT9A), this premium catch can kit features revolutionary anti-slosh technology that prevents collected oil from re-entering your intake system during hard cornering, acceleration, or track use.

Key Features:

• Patented Fluid Lock technology prevents oil from escaping during aggressive driving
• Complete bolt-on kit designed specifically for Evo 8-9 CT9A chassis
• Right-hand (RH) side PCV system - intercepts crankcase vapors
• High-capacity catch can with advanced internal baffling
• Dipstick for easy fluid level monitoring
• Drain valve for simple maintenance
• Laser-cut aluminum mounting bracket for secure installation
• All necessary hoses, fittings, and hardware included
• Premium upgrade over standard catch can designs

Fluid Lock Technology - Patent Pending:

Traditional catch cans can allow collected oil to slosh back into the intake system during hard cornering, braking, or acceleration - exactly when you need clean air most. Radium's patented Fluid Lock system uses a one-way valve mechanism that allows oil vapor to enter the catch can but prevents any liquid from escaping back into the intake, even under extreme g-forces. This makes it the ideal solution for track-driven Evos, autocross competitors, or aggressive street driving.

Performance Benefits:

• Track-Proven Protection: Fluid Lock prevents oil from re-entering intake during hard cornering and braking
• Cleaner Intake Air: Prevents oil vapor from contaminating intake manifold and intercooler
• Improved Performance: Cleaner combustion from oil-free intake air increases power and efficiency
• Reduced Carbon Buildup: Keeps intake valves and combustion chambers clean
• Lower Emissions: Reduces hydrocarbon emissions by preventing oil from entering combustion
• Extended Engine Life: Less contamination means reduced wear on engine components
• Essential for Track Use: Critical for high-boost or track-driven Evos

Why You Need a Catch Can:

Modern turbocharged engines like the 4G63 in the Evo 8-9 generate significant crankcase pressure and oil vapor. The factory PCV system routes these vapors back into the intake manifold to be burned during combustion. However, this introduces oil mist into your intake system, which coats the intake manifold, intercooler, and intake valves with oil residue.

Over time, this oil buildup reduces airflow efficiency, promotes carbon deposits on intake valves, and can even cause detonation in high-boost applications. A catch can intercepts these oil vapors before they enter the intake, collecting the oil in a reservoir that you can drain periodically.

Why Fluid Lock Technology?

Standard catch cans work well under normal driving conditions, but during aggressive driving - hard cornering, heavy braking, or rapid acceleration - the collected oil can slosh around and potentially escape back into the intake system through the outlet port. This defeats the purpose of having a catch can in the first place.

Radium's patented Fluid Lock system solves this problem with a one-way valve mechanism that allows oil vapor to enter but prevents any liquid from escaping, regardless of vehicle orientation or g-forces. This makes it the superior choice for track days, autocross, canyon driving, or any performance-oriented use.

Why Radium Engineering?

Radium Engineering specializes in fuel system and engine management components for performance vehicles. Their catch can kits are engineered vehicle-specific for perfect fitment and maximum effectiveness. The Fluid Lock technology represents years of R&D and testing on actual race cars, ensuring it performs when you need it most.

Maintenance:

• Check fluid level using dipstick every 1,000 miles
• Drain catch can when 50-75% full (frequency varies by driving style and modifications)
• Track-driven or modified Evos may require more frequent draining
• Dispose of collected oil properly - do not pour down drains
• Inspect hoses and fittings periodically for leaks or damage

Complete Coverage:

For maximum protection, consider installing both the right-hand (RH) and left-hand (LH) Fluid Lock catch can kits. The RH kit (this product) handles the PCV side, while the LH kit handles the CCV (Crankcase Ventilation) side, providing complete coverage of your Evo's crankcase ventilation system with Fluid Lock protection on both sides.

Perfect For: Track day enthusiasts, autocross competitors, time attack builds, canyon carvers, or any Evo owner who drives aggressively and demands the best protection available.

Upgrade from Standard: If you're considering a catch can for track use or aggressive driving, the Fluid Lock version is worth the investment. The patented anti-slosh technology ensures your intake stays clean even under extreme conditions.
