Title: Rx Monster Catch Can on XSport 2.0 - No Drill (Almost)
Post by: MiWiAu on September 14, 2016, 09:40:02 PM
Here's my spin on the Rx Monster Can install for my 2013 Explorer Sport. This isn't intended to be a step-by-step "how to" but should outline how I completed my install.

A HUGE thanks to JimiJak and glock-coma and all their tips in this thread: http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php/topic,2536.0.html (http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php/topic,2536.0.html).

Instructions for Explorer fascia removal are located here: http://blueox.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/BX2632-2.pdf (http://blueox.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/BX2632-2.pdf)

I purchased a used 2013 Explorer Sport on 8/20/16 with 28,500 miles. Shortly after purchase, I noticed some pooling oil on the front valve cover under the throttle body. I pulled the hose and found it oil soaked. I also pulled the hose at the CAC outlet and found some evidence of the greenish intercooler snot, so I decided I'd try a catch can.

I ordered a 2011-2014 Explorer Sport kit from TeamRXP.

The kit contents did not meet my install needs, so I purchased some extras.

This is a schematic of the system provided by TeamRXP. I annotated the diagram with red arrows indicating the direction of flow for each of the three OCC circuits as well as the CSS.

Here's where I mounted the can (behind the drivers side front fender) using an existing hole.

Here's the mounted can. I had to drill 2 holes in the short 90-degree bracket provided by TeamRXP. I used provided hardware to mount the billet clamp to the bracket.

Here's a view of the routings under the airbox.

This is the elbow I built to provide vacuum to one of the OCC circuits. I had to vent the rear BOV to ATM and I used the 1" connection on the charge pipe to avoid drilling any new holes.

(https://i.imgur.com/HT0e9I7h.jpg)

Rather than drill the airbox lid, I decided to vent the CCS to ATM (WI is a non-inspection emissions state). This required drilling a single hole to mount an auxiliary breather filter.

Here's the CSS and filter installed.

This is the remote drain setup - same routing discovered by JimiJak.

And here's the finished product!

Great write up! I can see this getting added to the "how to" section

I would keep an eye on that breather setup on the css.
I tried to do that at first but it kept getting soaked with oil.
Eventually I lengthened the tubing going to and it helped but didn't stop bleeding into it.

I now have a check valve in between the css and my stock air box and no more oil.

10-4, thanks, glock! If I start getting oil here, I figured the next step would be to add a check valve to see if that stops it. When I mentioned my plans to RXP to vent the css to atm, they advised that the css would intermittently "burp" without a check valve. I suspected this would be the case considering I have the barb oriented at 6 o'clock and created a low spot for any oil in the separation media to drain. The mods are never done. ;)

Thanks for helping pave the way with this installation! :)

Great writeup indeed but personally have a 25'foot steel braided hose which acts better against heat suppression and  heat soak and will not collapse overtime.  Z :)

I did my first 500mi drain and recovered approximately 1/2 tsp from the can.

On the front charge pipe, I'm trying to pull vacuum from where the OE clean side connection was. I wonder if this port geometry was designed to minimize vacuum to prevent pulling oil from the clean side?

As an alternative, I could connect to the front BOV port, and perhaps this would pull greater vacuum under boost. Has anyone with a vacuum gauge measured the difference between these two ports under boost?

I have not,  but they are right next to each other.
The BOV outlet is obviously larger.
Thought I'd add a pic for reference.

Cool, thanks, Glock. It's been a while since I was under there looking. I'm in SE Wisconsin, so it will be interesting to see how much the accumulations change as we move into winter.

There is not to much clarity on the install procedure only for the F-150 but IMO would NOT Connect it to the front bov port and would leave it as is.  Z   https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8JUL90DXgdiWjVrcVBIQzdkeE0/view?usp=sharing

Here's the CSS and filter installed.
(http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w449/mauskings/OCC%20Install/6_zpsxuepzwrd.jpg)


FYI, the plastic mounting tab on the CSS filter element broke during my baseline dyno runs the other day. Evidently the rubber hose did not flex enough with motor movement and tab failed.

I will need to find a sturdier mount, a more flexible hose, and/or a different mounting location.

Once I have a solution, I will post up again, but wanted to note the defect in my initial install in the meantime. For now, the filter is zip-tied in place.

I saved it in a clear plastic bottle, but didn't have a chance to take a picture this morning before heading out for work. I will grab a snap of it when I get home tonight and post it up. It was partially separated this morning in the measuring cup before I transferred containers, and it looked like a thin layer of oil at the top and (presumably) mostly dirty water below it.

I have another bottle that has all the combined contents of everything I've drained since installation on 9/11/16 (4,118 mi), not including what I drained out last night. It has been sitting stationary and undisturbed for 17 days, so I'm sure it's fairly well separated (haven't looked in a while).

These are 18.5 oz Lipton Pure Leaf tea bottles. The one on the left has been undisturbed since 12/04.

Here's a closer look:

I also wanted to mention that I gave both of these a "sniff test", and the left bottle smelled much more strongly of fuel, while the right sample smelled more like oil with a hint of fuel.

I think it's worth noting that the left bottle contains multiple drains, one of which was after having a stuck fuel injector.

Since oil and fuel have a lower specific gravity than water, they will separate out to the top, while the water will be at the bottom. Notice the huge amount of water on the right sample.

Based on the info above, I can infer that:
1) the increased fuel content in the left bottle was likely due to the injector failure, because

2) the right sample appears to have significantly less fuel content (indicating the issue did not persist after injector replacement)

So, based on this, I'm thinking this should be one of my early investments before using tune and getting higher boosts?  I tend to be a long time car owner.  Is there a "cream of the crop" I should be looking at for cans?

It certainly couldn't hurt. This was the first thing I did to mine (after floor mats, LOL). IMO, once you start cranking up the boost with tunes, there is potential to further exacerbate the issue of oil in the intake/charge pipes.

I'm sure you'll find LOTS of opinions on particular cans. I've only got personal experience with the Rx, and can't speak to the others. The Rx comes at a more "premium" price point for sure, but I can't with certainty say that it's better than any others. I can say that if I were to do it over again, I would make the same decision and buy the Rx Monster can again, simply because it seems to be working well for me, in my application.

If you decide to go the route of Rx, note that teamrxp.com still sells the "original" TIG welded Rx can (which is what I bought). McNally also offers a can, of similar design at a slightly lower price point, but I can't comment on build quality or efficacy, as I've never seen/used one. I have the impression that the functional concept between the two are very similar, if not identical.

I thought I read elsewhere on the forum that the UPR setup is also a good one, and there are people running the JLT kit as well, hope they chime in.

+1. And as long as the can has a good coalescing material inside of it (and some sort of baffle to keep the liquid in the can from re-entering the intake), with a few extra parts, you should be able to make some minor modifications to the plumbing for a single inlet/single outlet can to allow it to pull vacuum either while under boost or at cruise speed, that way you are constantly evacuating vapors from the dirty side.

Sorry to revive an old thread but, seeing that Photobucket is holding everyone's pictures for ransom obviously the photos of the install do not appear any longer.  And I've had no luck searching the web.

I have the can installed on my 2016 Explorer Sport and all of the lines run to approximate attachment points. I installed the can in the D/S fender well without removing the front fascia. I did it from underneath by removing 3 bolts on the plastic splash panel and used a bungee cord to hold it out of the way to gain access.

Anyway, I have the following questions..

1. At what points is everyone "tapping into" to obtain the vacuum from the turbos on the XSport?

2. The aluminum adapter required for the late model Explorers.. Where exactly does it go?? I've searched the web for hours and could find no useful image / information.

3. On the tube that runs from the front valve cover near the oil fill (and gets capped off) to the turbo tube near the air cleaner has an electrical sensor tapped into it. What happens with that sensor, is it deleted?

If the pictures were still in this thread I probably wouldn't be asking this.
Thanks in advance

I'll see if I can get my images hosed elsewhere and update the pictures this weekend.

I have a bunch of other threads that need updated, too.

In lieu of pictures, here are a couple of answers:

1) I used the rear BOV port on the charge pipe (VTA on rear BOV required) and the quick connection on the front charge pipe (same connection where tube you reference in question 3 terminates). If you VTA the front BOV, you could also use that larger 1" port instead of capping.

2) I'm not sure to which adapter you are referring. Are you talking about the mounting brackets? Do you have a picture you could attach?

3) Hopefully one of ZSHO's links addresses this. My '13 did not have the sensor; it was added later. I recall reading about it on this forum but don't remember the solution off hand.

Hmm. I have no idea what that adapter is for. It's a straight through piece, and not a check valve?

VTA is "vent to atmosphere." The BOVs blow out under the hood instead of back into the intake. Sounds more ricer. :)

Just an update on the 2016 Explorer Sport....

I got the OCC setup completely installed. Only had to drill one hole / "tap into" the pipe that leads to the rear turbo. (never figured out what that aluminum connector adapter was for)

I installed the OCC on the DS frame horn behind the headlight. Ran the hoses from there under the air filter box along the turbo tubes and to their appropriate locations.
Once all back together all you can see is the one hose at the rear turbo tube / tap and the one hose to the CSS / oil cap looks a little different from stock.

To drain it all I have to do is lay on the ground, reach up into the DS front portion of the fenderwell, pull out the hose, insert into the appropriate container and open the drain petcock.

Now to see what it captures.
I've been running an OCC on my 5.4 S/C truck for ten plus years now and I know these OCC's work. 

*edit* One thing not seen are the 2 check valves... I installed the hoses first and then selected and "cut in" where I wanted them. The one for the turbos is mounted down by the transmission dipstick / front turbo tube and the one to the manifold vacuum is up on top of the engine near the PCV valve.

Thanks for the update and photos! Looks like a nice install. I meant to get in and update my Photobucket links updated, but my laptop hard drive crashed rendering it inoperable. Sorry I couldn't be more help in time for your project. :(

No problem... It gave me more time to stare at what I had to do and to think about what installation route to take. LOL.
A couple of more pictures and showing the check valve locations.

1. What the setup looks like with the engine cover on.
2. With the engine cover removed.
3. Check valve to the intake location. (yellow spring clamps)
4. Check valve for the turbo side, somewhat under the air filter box. (yellow spring clamps)
5. Hose route to the turbos.. from the check valve / OCC, around the larger hose, the "T" connection which is made under that hose and continues up to the rear turbo tube "tap in" point.
That was the best route to take which didn't kink the hose.

Thanks, Manu! I think I had most of the important stuff backed up, but thanks for the reference, just in case!

I assume Z is still the off topic police chief, so we should probably get back to it. ;) LOL
