The automotive world never stands still, both literally and figuratively. Technology is always improving and evolving to produce mountains of power with maximum efficiency. Back during the Mustang's inception, all it took was a massive V8 and just enough traction to make it to the finish line in order to blow your socks off. These days, however, drivers want a muscle car that can do more than flex. They want it to be flexible. With over 50 years of engineering, Ford has been able to outrun most issues that keep their Mustang confined, except one"blow-by.

In 2015, Ford brought us the most modern Mustang yet. It was a familiar 5.0L powerplant, but we finally saw some much needed 21^st century touches, like independent rear suspension for example. Ford went even further with the 2018 refresh, giving the old name an even more futuristic look.

The combination of the revised fascia, updated headlights, and longer hood give Ford's classic silhouette its most modern outfit yet. The challenge for

In our last two posts we took a look at the prototype catch can brackets and hoses for both the driver and passenger-side. As a recap and to better explain our results, the next paragraph describes the crank case ventilation systems on the Mustang GT. If you're not in a reading mood feel free to continue to the results below.

Crank Case Ventilation on the Mustang GT

While we can continue to refer to the two catch can systems as the driver and the passenger-side, we can also differentiate them another way. This will allow us to better understand the results of our testing. The passenger-side catch can is tapped into the ventilation line that allows crankcase air (and blow-by) to exit the engine. We often call this the positive crankcase ventilation, or PCV line. This line is equipped with a valve, referred to as the PCV valve, which works to regulate the air flowing through the crank case ventilation (CCV) system. The driver-side catch can is tapped into a simpler breather line referred

Last time we took a look at the passenger-side catch can setup for our brand-new Mustang GT. We will still be making more improvements to our original design going forward, but the main location will stay the same. Now onto our driver-side catch can development!

The driver-side catch can was a bit more difficult to place than the passenger-side catch can. We wanted to position the catch can such that it would fit with the rather intricate stock intake, while still leaving room for aftermarket intakes. Our engineers utilized the radiator stay, similar to the passenger-side, to tuck the catch can off to the side and out of the way, thus saving room for some additional Mustang parts.

Although we do not expect to see much accumulation in the driver-side catch can, we will still test it for comparison purposes.

The 2016 Mustang GT has arrived at Mishimoto, and we are wasting no time in developing products for Ford's newest version of the Pony car. We decided to begin with a version of our baffled oil catch can specifically designed to be direct-fit with the Mustang GT.

You would be doing your Coyote a favor by installing some type of catch can for preventative maintenance. Some feel that a catch can is not a necessity until you introduce forced induction, which may be the case. On the other hand every ounce of blow-by collected in a catch can is an ounce that is not heading back into your intake to kill fuel mileage, buildup on valves, and increase the risk of detonation. To read more about the benefits of a catch can in depth, check out our complete write up on Blow-By 101.

Mishimoto's Baffled Oil Catch Can was designed to trap virtually all blow-by from sneaking its way back into your intake. Our can is equipped with internal air diverters to direct airflow, a large baffle
