Airtec Motorsport PCV oil catch can upgrade for the Ford Fiesta ST180, developed as an essential preventive upgrade for direct-injection EcoBoost engines for track use and sporty street use.
The Fiesta ST180 features both a CCV system as a PCV system, which can return both blow-by gases and oil vapors to the intake tract. To offer maximum protection against contamination and carbon buildup, Airtec has developed separate catch can kits for both systems.
This version has been specifically developed for the PCV side of the engine. The PCV valve is a one-way valve that directs blow-by gases from the crankcase back to the intake manifold. As a result, an oily deposit forms on the intake channels and valves over time, which reduces airflow, performance, and efficiency.
The Airtec catch can captures these contaminants before they reach the intake system. As a result, the engine remains cleaner and expensive cleaning treatments are prevented in the long run.
The kit utilizes the available space at the front of the engine bay for a neat OEM+ integration. Thanks to the laser-cut mounting bracket With a satin black powder coating, the catch can is mounted securely and tightly.
The catch can features a internal baffle and a oil dipstick and can be easily removed for maintenance. The set comes complete with Pro Hoses silicone hoses, all mounting materials and clear assembly instructions.
Tip: For maximum protection, Airtec recommends installing both the PCV and CCV catch can kits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a PCV and a CCV catch can?
The PCV catch can captures blow-by gases that return to the intake manifold via the PCV valve. The CCV catch can operates on a different part of the crankcase ventilation system.
Do I need to install both the PCV and CCV catch can?
For maximum protection against carbon build-up, Airtec recommends equipping both systems with a catch can.
Why is a catch can important on an EcoBoost engine?
Direct-injection EcoBoost engines are susceptible to carbon buildup due to oil vapors in the intake system. A catch can helps prevent this.
Is everything included for assembly?
Yes, the kit comes complete with mounting bracket, silicone hoses, fasteners, and an installation manual.
