One of the most important additions to a high-performance turbo diesel engine is a diesel catch can. While it might not directly add power or engine noise, what this vital upgrade does is alleviate engine issues caused by ever-increasingly strict emission regulations. Fitting an HPD catch can prevents soot that’s recirculated into the engine from causing premature deposit build-up. Another example of a valuable upgrade is an HPD front mount intercooler, which adds crucial power output to your ride.

FAQs

What products does HPD manufacture?

HPD has developed a wide range of parts that are all designed to increase turbo diesel engine performance. This includes HPD catch cans to fit every make and model of vehicle, from Prado to Landcruiser, Navara to Ranger, Hilux and more. Other examples include front mount intercoolers, transmission coolers, turbo upgrade kits and more.

What is the advantage of fitting an HPD catch can?

A catch can fits between the breather and the intake and is designed to capture sticky, sooty deposits and prevent them from clogging up the intake. This has become an ever-growing problem as strict emission policies require the re-entry of sooty exhaust gases back into the engine to be reburned. The soot in this gas mixes with the oil contained in the air from the crankcase, causing stubborn deposits that will, if not prevented from entering the intake, cause premature engine degradation. Adding an HPD diesel catch effectively filters this air through stainless steel mesh filters, thus removing the risk of expensive intake cleaning and ensuring the smooth passage of air.
