FAQ Section
Why do I need an oil catch can for my Civic or Integra?
Modern Honda and Acura 1.5T and 2.0T platforms utilize direct injection. Because fuel doesn't wash over the intake valves, oil vapors and blow-by from the PCV system can build up as carbon deposits over time. We recommend catch-can setups to keep your direct-injection engine clean and prevent this power-robbing buildup.
Should I upgrade my rear motor mount?
Yes, especially if you have increased your horsepower. Factory components are designed for cost efficiency and comfort, which allows excessive engine movement during hard acceleration. Upgrading to a stiffer mount from brands such as PRL Motorsports or 27WON significantly reduces wheel hop and improves power transfer to the ground.
Are there instructions available for installing these engine components?
Yes! Our library of performance parts installation guides walks you through every bolt, clip, and connector. From catch-can overviews to advanced ARP Head Stud methods (like the 1B1 method), our guides ensure critical engine components are torqued correctly.
