CCS Oil Catch Can Kit for Gen 10-11 Honda Civic & Accord, Gen 5 Integra

Direct Fit for Gen 10-11 Civic & Accord, Gen 10 Civic Type R, Gen 5 Integra

This kit is designed specifically for the 2016+ Honda Civic, 2017-2021 Honda Civic Type R, 2018+ Honda Accord, and 2023+ Acura Integra. Fits only models with 1.5L and 2.0L non-hybrid engines, as the hybrid powertrain wiring harness will interfere with the catch can's mounting location. The kit includes custom lines and a custom bracket that conveniently bolts to existing screw holes on the firewall.

A Must Have for the Direct Injection Engines

Honda's latest L-series engines are direct injected, meaning fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber, instead of the intake runners. While great for fuel economy, this means the intake port walls and valves will no longer be cleaned by the fuel. This results in excessive carbon build-up on the intake valves; a well documented problem with direct injected engines.

While carbon build up will not ruin your engine, it will result in reduced performance in the long run. Vaporized oil in the intake manifold severely exacerbates the problem, so it's important to keep the air as clean as possible. Adding a good catch can to the crankcase ventilation system will help reduce this carbon build up and keep your engine cleaner.

An Improved Oil Catch Can

Improved Racing set out to design the best air-oil separating catch can we possibly could. We focused on a three simple design goals:

1. Maximize efficiency: Separate as much vapor from crankcase blow-by fumes as possible with minimal restriction.
2. Easy to use: The catch can should be simple and enjoyable to use in every aspect including mounting, draining, and cleaning.
3. Durable: Virtually indestructible. Made from high-quality, reliable components. As with any Improved Racing product, nothing will vibrate loose or come apart under racing conditions.

The result is the CCS (Catch Can: Sport).

Highly Efficient Air-Oil Separation

The CCS's design maximizes air-oil separation efficiency, resulting in a peak separation efficiency of 85-90%. For comparison, none of the competitor's catch cans we tested showed a peak efficiency of more than 60%. These results were achieved on our bench testing system at air flow rates of 0-4.0 CFM and vaporized oil injection rates of 0.20-0.30 grams of oil per minute.

No Sight Glass Needed

Improved Racing's quick-release reservoir is so easy to remove that it eliminates the need for a sight glass. Just push up and twist an 1/8th turn to remove the reservoir and look inside. No more fumbling or endless unscrewing to remove the reservoir.

No sight glass also means improved durability at higher operating temps. And no more trying to interpret a difficult-to-read sight glass to check your fluid level. Just look inside!

A powerful wave spring keeps the reservoir locked in place. A safety lock clip is also included just in case you want to be absolutely sure the reservoir cannot be removed.

Honda Specific Mounting Bracket

Improved Racing's custom-designed aluminum mounting bracket securely attaches to existing holes on the firewall, behind the fuel line bracket, providing plenty of space for removing and draining the can. Installation is completely reversible, requiring no modifications.

Fast & Versatile Mounting Bracket System

We made the mounting bracket easy to use and remove because some engines bays are tight. Remove the can in seconds by unscrewing the green bracket nut. Installing and positioning is just as quick and easy. If you need a little more leverage, just use a 5/8" or 16mm open end wrench on one of the nut's lobes.

Positive Lock  Safety Clip

The CCS comes with a safety lock clip. It's peace of mind for crash protection or track events where a positive lock mechanism is required. Push to insert, pull to remove.

We also include a lanyard that tethers to any of the mounting bracket screws, so you will never lose your lock clip in your engine bay.

Modular Design & Optional Remote Draining

Improved Racing's latest generation CCS oil catch cans feature a modular design with a removable bottom cap. The modular design allows for thinner walls, reducing overall mass and overall height while maintaining the same fluid capacity.

Don't worry about leaks! The bottom cap is securely fastened with a retaining clip, so there is no risk of it coming unscrewed and leaking.

Tight engine bay? No problem: the bottom cap is easily removed and swapped for a an optional cap with a drain port (sold spearately) for remote draining.

We offer a remote drain kit which includes the replacement bottom cap with drain port, a stainless steel drain valve, hose, and fittings (part number CCS-DKB-06). You can also purchase the bottom cap on its own (part number CCS-26-KIT).

Color Options

The bracket nut and lock clip are available in Improved Racing Green, black, or silver. Mix and match them any way you want!

Extensive Testing

Development of the CCS happened over several years and included ANSYS Fluent CFD simulations, extensive bench tests, and on-vehicle street and track tests. Final prototype testing also included a 9-month beta testing program in collaboration with various road racers, drag racers, and drifters.

Comparative testing included Improved Racing's prototypes and several catch cans from leading competitors. We ensured our catch can will beat the competition in filtration performance while maintaining a similar or lower pressure drop. Bench testing focused on maximizing efficiency at peak blow-by air flow rates of 3.7-4.0 CFM, where most other catch cans lack efficiency.
