I wanted to start a thread that we can get those that have installed the RX system to post there before and after results as to shudder, misfire, water & gunk accumulation in the CAC, oil level rising (fuel and water accumulation in the crankcase, drain results, etc.

Have lots of people wanting to hear from those with the RX system installed and that it did all it advertised to do. There are a few like this example that do all they can to claim it does nothing:Ecoboost shudder/stall- loss of faith - Ford F150 Forum - Community of Ford Truck Fans so we want to get more actual user input so people can sort through the BS and have actual proof (Ford dealers installing them will be adding to this as well over time.

So contact anyone you know that has one as well so we can get a good view over time.

Thanks here are some customer experiences:

BHPETE - My main reason for me is like you say, to keep the air system clean, which it seems to be doing very well! I have had the stumbling issue more than once, but at that time, RX or any catch can for that matter wasn't on the radar? I went the aftermarket IC and tune route. Plus, moving to a dryer climate helps!
That being said, after obtaining a much better understanding of how this system works over the last few months, I have no doubts in what TB is claiming. I can say that my idle has smoothed out and mileage is coming up which would support exactly what is claimed!
Bottom line is this, for long term use the positives that this system provides outstrips any negatives.

BRUCESEARS - I drilled the hole in the CAC a long time ago, never had the condensation issue again after that. I put the can on to resolve the rising oil problem, which it has done in spades. Within 200 miles my oil level returned to normal and has stayed there ever since. Oil looks much better and no longer has that faint gas odor.

ECOFX86 -

300 Miles Plus!
sent from Leading Edge Tuning 93 octane Performance Package!

BLUEFLAMEFX4 - I'm still pulling a couple ounces out every Friday.

BRUCESEARS - I still get a little mixture (10-15 cc) out of the can about once a week even though temps are now pretty warm. In winter I could get as much as 50cc every 3 days. I suspect when full blown summer gets here it will collect very minimal amount. But man does it look nasty.

ECOMAX -


I drained this from mine today after 1000 miles of mostly city driving. Truck is new with only 1600 miles so no major changes in fuel economy that I could notice yet. Looks to be 6 or 7 oz in a 17oz bottle. Glad it is keeping this out of my engine...

MIKEMETX82 -





50 ml in 500 miles.
That's 1.691 oz. extrapolated to 16.91 oz. in 5000 miles(needs verification). It reeks of fuel. This explains my rising oil level and filthy cac. I have an oil sample prior to catch can so after the next change I'll send them both in for analysis.

ECOBOOST STS -


Truck has roughly 16,200 miles on it, about 1,000 of them with the catch can installed.

JOEBZR964 -


This is after ~2k on the Texas gulf coast.




The pic on the right is what was collected on the trip. The pic on the left is what I drained in the initial 2K of daily driving.
These are 20 oz. bottles for reference.

SPYDERWEB -


About 30 days & 2,000 miles worth of RX Catch Can blow-by...on Kansas roads, average temps in the 60-90s, mostly dry out. Still no repeat of the engine falling on it's face under acceleration. 2012 FX4 with 55,000 miles, can installed at about 53,000

MIKEMETZ82 -


500 miles. about 4 or 5 oz. Temps have been 55-75F. Perfect weather!

CNGECOBOOST -


This is after 500 km's. Temps range from 3 Deg C to 19 Deg C. Equal mix of city and highway driving.

AHDZNENZ - I'm getting that every day almost in Alberta, sure glad I got it!

CNGECOBOOST -





1000 km's (600 miles). Approx 225 ml of "soup". Approx 175 ml of liquid and the rest "Latte" foam. Pics taken right after draining. This does settle out. Mostly highway travels to work. Speeds around 110 kph. Temps from 3 - 15 C.

 

MIKE WOOD -







Here is what mine caught after 340 miles of driving this past weekend. The temps were 35-40F during the day, and 20-25F at night/earlier in the morning. I drove a nice mix of terrain that was a better route to make boost rather than my normal commute to and from work that rarely has me in the boost and is flat terrain. Plenty of hills and speeds ranging from 45-70 mph. Also on Sunday it was a 40 degree rain all day and I drove ~110 miles that day. Crazy all of this crap would otherwise be sucked into the engine and attempted to be burned off. That is a 24oz pickle jar for comparison



And here it is after sitting for 3 hours and settling out somewhat. I am thinking from the specific gravities and molecular properties that the bottom is mostly water, but what are we looking at in the middle and top? I'm guessing the middle is a frothy air-entrained water/oil mix, with some fuel possible. The top would likely be mostly oil/fuel mix. Can anyone confirm this?

CNGECOBOOST -


Next 1000 km drain interval. Approx 350 ml of "latte" up 125 ml from last drain. Temps ranged from -10C to +10C. Driving is my commute to work (all highway). Bottle on left is my last drain interval. I had to use a hair dryer to warm the can to get everything out as today's temp was -5C when I was draining after driving home from work. It does freeze up. Nothing drained when I initially opened the drain valve. Shielded the can with a rag so to keep the heat from the dryer on and around the can.

JASGRIMPC -


After about 150 miles

BENJAMIN -


First post figured I'd start here
installed my monster can after 43000 Kms
on the install I didn't notice too much oil/contaminants on stock hoses
however after just over a tank of fuel and 700kms in temperatures ranging 0 c to -25 this is what I've caught
had to warm up with blowdrier and was very surprised by results

SKIDMARK -





Installed RX monster in a 2012 F-150 ecoboost drained for the first time after 300 miles around town. Drilled a 1/64 hole in CAC lower r/h side and changed the plugs to SP-534's and added Archoil to the oil and fuel.MPG is 19.2 combined truck has max tow package 3.73 gears

EGBERTNR - I did a trip over the holiday weekend from Southern ohio to Minnesota and back. 1800ish miles total. I emptied easily 8 Oz of gunk at each fuel fill. Temps range from 0° to 60° F. With rain..snow. .fog...truly amazing how much gunk is collected.

ROUSHRACING1 -


Bottle on the left is what my duel valve w/clean side separator has captured in Florida (temps above 65) in about 2300 miles.
Bottle on right was captured in northern Georgia(temps mostly below 45) in 900 miles.

Yes, my oil level slowly rose before I installed my can but has since stopped.

JASGRIMPC -


After about 3/4 of a tank

CNGECOBOOST -


Another 1000 kms (600 miles). About 300 ml. More oily foam , less water. Temps have been colder but still mixed above and below freezing. Pic is after 7 hours sitting in warm garage. Temp when can drained was -3 C. Can NOT frozen but still I heated with a hair to help drain faster.

GUNNER65 -


Last two days probably 60 miles all in town temps ranged from 27 - 50F




Combined with past two weeks 1 tank of gas. The good news is that the WOT shudder is almost non-existent now!

TEAMFOUR - Today was install day for my Wagner CAC. When I had installed my RX Catch Can at about 24k miles, I had emptied it of any liquid and residue. Today at 34k miles, I had absolutely no moisture in the old CAC. I empty the can every two weeks and get about 4 ounces of crap during the summer, and about 10 ounces during the winter.

VOZADAY - Well, think I need a CSS. Found my first signs of oil in the intake that I tapped into. Made it almost 5,000km without a drop but now I am having quite a bit.

KENSFX4 -


Today's collection.

WOOBOOST - I have been collecting the crap into a 32oz bottle. I probably have 20 - 25 oz of crap caught in 1000 miles. I drive short distances. Water content did not show up until winter.

 

Wanted to update all that RXSpeedworks is NT selling the genuine RX cans in the pictures and videos. They are having a cheap knock off made in china now that is glued and pressed together.

Here is one that came apart when it froze to show the difference. The genuine ones are all tig welded and only have the RX logo on them, the cheap knock-offs have "extremeautoproducts" under the logo:





The real RX can verify any questions anyone has on these.

 

Wanted to share that all the pictures before the ones I posted of the cheap knockoffs ARE the genuine original cans fully tig welded and made in the USA, it is the ones speedworks sells now that are the cheap Chinese made glued together knock-offs.

 

Are the RX cans that Extremeautoproducts.com sell legit tig welded cans? Don't want some glue together can, will freeze during our winters. They do look different than the RX speedworks cans, the ones with the small text under the RX logo you can see how the tops and bottoms are glued.

 

NO, none of them are now. All speedworks/gofastmuscle/mcnally are the cheap china made copies. The recently switched the logo again to have mcnally on them.

Not sure where the genuine ones can be had from except a ebay seller has the genuine ones apparently. I like the Elite Engineering E2-X line they recently released.

 

Ok was looking at the Elite E2-X ones and they look like a good unit. But the weird thing is when I watch one of their install videos its the same guy as in the RXspeedworks videos and you can tell its the same shop in Florida but supposedly Elite is out of Colorado. And the can he's installing E2-X looks the same as the newer RX ones, one piece and you can't open it up and clean it. Seems rather odd to me?

All Elite cans are made with billet threaded and O-ringed construction here in the USA and can take apart any of the models. The cheap Chinese copies are pressed and glued together and cannot come apart unless they fall apart.

speedworks copied all those videos from the original engineer. Just search RX install video and see the same video posted a year earlier that the scammer's at speedworks who just copied them.

All of those videos apply to any dual outlet/duel checkvalve system install.

All RX cans are fully tig welded and are also made 100% in the USA as all Elite are.

The confusion from the unscrupulous people like speedworks/gofastmuscle that are showing pictures of the genuine RX cans yet ship the cheap knock-offs is unethical as all get out.

So I think that is where your confusion comes form.

Also, noted you are brand new, and only posted concerning this so your goals/intent may be suspect. Hope that clarified all.

Elite is all 100% made in the USA and what they picture on their site is what they ship. speedworks is 100% made cheap in China and they sell/ship different than what they show on ebay or their site. Very dishonest IMHO to see such scamming.

 

Nice results pics

 

It is rumored speedworks is going to stop showing the RX cans and shipping the China ones in place of them. Let's see if they do.

They sell/ship the McNally made in China cans.

 

Late reply but wanted to say thank you for pointing out that. Apparently the catch can I bought several years ago and have lazily still not installed is one of these Chinese knock offs. I bought from a friend of mine and wasn't aware at the time of these knockoffs (I don't think he was aware either). Have they only come apart in freezing temperatures? I'm here in middle of Texas so we rarely see freezing temps.
