Oil catch can install diagram/design?

YzGyz · 09-02-2015, 12:30 AM

I have access to a welder, ss, and some tool such as a break, plasma cutter, drill press, hand tools. Anyone have a design on a catch can for a FI setup they would like to share. I seen one in the dig but I'm looking for more ideas.

I'm also looking for a diagram or detailed picture on how to hook it up. I would like to be able to build it with spacin, mounting, ease of cleaning and effectiveness in mind.

I don't have any info but subbed for results. Sounds like an interesting project.

Oh! IIRC, someone posted some pics of the inside of a catch can with closeups of the perforated tube. If you can't find it using the site's search, try using one of the major search engines and add "site:the370z.com" to your search string.

I'm gathering data and ideas right now. So far, the best design I seen is based on the wayer/air separater for air compressor. I might base the design off of that.

Anyhoo, any other bites?

I used this diagram for my catch cans. I went on jegs and got two universal air oil separator kits. This is my dyi. It was super simple even for a noob like me.

Did you call them for that? I looked on their website and they only have a product for the 350z listed.

Ive been on the website and when i click on the email option it just times out. It seems that the website is broken and based on the lack of fix they arent in business. If Im wrong great, Id love to order their cans. (hehe)
