Jeep Wrangler JL 2.0L Catch Can Kit 2018+

What's exploration without a challenge? If you drive the same easy trails or climb the same easy routes over and over again, life becomes boring. The thrill of exploration often hinges on the prospect of the unknown and taking a path without knowing where it will lead you. Without the challenge of the unknown, exploration is just following a map.

When we last saw our 2018+ Jeep Wrangler 2.0L catch can kit, we were still firmly in familiar territory. We installed two catch cans on the Jeep, one for the PCV side of the system and one for the CCV side. These two kits would serve as our proof of concept for each side of the system. At the end of our 1,000-mile test, we'd check the catch cans and see if we needed to build a kit for the CCV side, PCV side, or both. Before we could rack up 1,000 miles, however, an old familiar friend greeted us: the check-engine light (CEL).

The unknown at the start of this project was not whether our catch cans would collect enough blow-by, but rather if we could

As summer begins
here in Delaware, the air is getting warmer, the days are growing longer, and
adventure is in the air. It seems like more and more off-road-ready vehicles
are hitting the streets and trails to capture their piece of the great outdoors,
and the Jeep Wrangler is no exception. While Wrangler owners across the country
are getting ready for their next adventure, our engineers at Mishimoto have
been working to keep the newest addition to the Wrangler lineup, the JL 2.0L
turbo, ready too.

With our catch can for the 3.6L Pentastar wrapped up, we've been working on a version for the 2.0T. Our last post focused on the effects of blow-by in modern engines and why catch cans are important for protecting your 2.0T JL. Now it's time to get into the nitty-gritty and begin R&D.

By definition,
the first step of R&D is research. For us, research consists of examining
the stock system and learning how it works. The CCV system on most naturally
aspirated engines is typically quite simple,

The renowned landscape photographer Ansel Adams once said, ""I have found that every experience is a form of exploration." Nearly a century after Adams began exploring the American West, Americans still love to explore, and no vehicle exemplifies the spirit of everyday exploration better than the Jeep Wrangler. Any Wrangler driver knows that embarking on an exploration is a simple matter of turning a key. Take the top off, or pull off the doors, and a drive through your neighborhood becomes something more.

As any explorer knows, a journey requires preparation. We might have moved on from feeding the horses and packing the hardtack but being prepared is still key. Even in a brand new 2.0L turbo Wrangler, the first step in your everyday exploration should be staying prepared. Maintenance is important, of course. You change your oil, use high-quality fuel, check your tire pressure, and a plethora of other essentials most vehicle owners are familiar with.

However, being truly prepared often
