After reading up on how the Mazdaspeed 3 operates I realized that it would be a smart idea to install the Mspeed OCC kit. I did this to help protect my motor from harmful blow-by that can cause internal damage over time.

Seeing the steps to install this kit kind of made me think it's going to be a piece of cake..but some parts weren't..especially when it came to taking the clamps off. If you have skinny hands the install should take no longer than 1.5-2 hrs. My install took 2.5 hrs because i had a stubborn hose to remove but in the end i got it out.

The provided hoses perfectly suit the application as well as the check valve which was updated with the elbow fitting on the end which proved to make the install 10x easier. Overall the install is pretty straight forward I'm sure the NATOR people can lend a hand if you are in need of assistance.

For those who are interested in buying a kit i highly recommend it as i've seen what is blown back into the intake tract.

good write up and good work on the install.

It's always great to have guys like BlueStreak and Celestespeed3 to watch over as well for those special moments when things aren't quite working out!

Yes, drain is right on the bottom.

You can drain it by just removing the air filter. There is no need to even remove the bottom tray.

Glad it's working well and thanks for the review!

2nd order is on it's way and the new valves have been tested as well. Once that's done, we'll start on another order.

That's the way we do things.

Pride, percision, performance.


Hey I like the sound of that. Nobody leaves Nator North with a hacked install.

The irony of spelling precision wrong is priceless.

I'd add quality to that list!

MSpeed Tuning (in the sponsors section) has done two GB's for them. Talk to Fobio (wish we had and @fobio thing here).

So it has been 3 weeks or so since i have installed my catch can and i noticed that my lines started to show signs of oil flowing through them. I gave it some time before i chose to empty the catch can and here is what i seen...

Thank you Mspeed!

Btw..i installed the catch can a few days after i got the oil changed. You won't notice any fluid flowing through until the oil has sheared down enough to come into the valve train.

It was brought to my attention that when you install the outlet hose that dips below the actual outlet, it creates a spot where fluids may collect after the car cools and moisture/oil condensate.

to prevent this, you must angle the outlet hosing slightly going higher than the outlet that it's leaving from. this way, when moisture in the system collects, it'll drain back into the catch can to be collected.

I've notice that too. I'll unplug it and drain those out and then try to angle it.

Just received this kit, shipping was quick and easy, parts all came wrapped up and quality looks flawless.
Will be posting some pics of the install in the weeks to come.
Thx MSPEED
