Description

The 2ZZ lives at 8,000 rpm mid-corner; its crankcase vapor deserves two cans' worth of respect.

The Radium Engineering Dual Catch Can Kit for the Lotus Elise and Exige is designed for the 2ZZ-GE equipped models, supercharged and normally aspirated alike, including a specialized mounting bracket as well as all necessary hoses, fittings, and hardware. Radium catch cans feature large 10AN ORB ports, a 4AN ORB drain port, 2-step oil separation baffling, and an O-ring sealed dipstick, and the Fluid Lock design's patented mechanism prevents the reservoir from overfilling, trapping collected fluids until emptied. Both crankcase circuits covered, one bolt-in kit.

What You'll Feel

  • Effectively higher octane and cleaner inlet air on an engine that lives at cam-lift rpm
  • Oil buildup prevented across the intake system, throttle body, and manifold, supercharged Exiges included
  • Overfill protection from the Fluid Lock mechanism, contaminants trapped until drained
  • An early-warning diagnostic, with excessive collection flagging engine wear
  • Lower hydrocarbon emissions from the sealed routing

The Details

Mid-engine packaging makes the Lotus install its own discipline, and the specialized bracket solves it, mounting both cans in the tight bay with everything serviceable: fluid level checks by unscrewing the billet dipstick, and the lower half of the can bodies unscrewing for draining. The dual architecture covers PCV and breather circuits independently, which matters doubly on supercharged cars where blow-by scales with boost. Collection rate varies by engine, so there is no set emptying interval; the dipstick sets the schedule, checked at 3 to 4 weeks initially. A clean intake also protects the 2ZZ's knock margin, where the cam-switchover engine's compression makes octane integrity worth keeping.
