Get a catch can before any mods.

And just use the one that is already on it too?

Got the catch can today. Will most likely install this weekend. Im assuming I should put locktite on the bottom where the drain is too? I was hoping it was some sort of plug there but looks like you unscrew it but want the nut portion to stay in.

 

[CHOO CHOO]

I didnt put locktite on there, thats where you drain it. Its gonna be a pain to drain it if you do. Post pics when you are finished

Well I prepped the can today with the threadlocker. I did add some to the bottom threads where it enters the can I just didnt add it to the valve threads. Install this weekend should be a snap.

Just got mine today and installed it. I didn't have a suitable bolt so I used a tap and die to add a spot on the side of the alternator bracket. Pretty easy mod, lass than 1/2 hour total for mine.

 

[byrds6]

I thought they mounted where that bolt is already there? What size bolt I need to mount it? I didn't get one.

That ground bolt that's already there wouldn't work on mine- the catch can would have hit the power steering pump. No hardware is included with the can- I had a M8 x 1.5 mm tap and a bolt that fit those threads laying around. You might be able to get a nut on the back if your fingers are small enough so you wouldn't need to tap threads. You'll just have to look at yours and improvise.

Did you get your can from catchcans. Com?

Yes I did.

 

[byrds6]

Catch can installed. I wish I would have made the hoses a bit longer though. I think one may be slightly pinched but doesnt seem to affect anything. I didnt think to cut them long enough to come out of the cut out in the plastic cover. So one is tight coming around it and going back to where the master cylinder is. Anyone think this will ever be an issue?

 

[Rocket Man]

I would replace it if it looks pinched at all. Hose is cheap and your PCV system is important.

 

[byrds6]

Not collapsed pinched just bent slightly

 

[CHOO CHOO]

That's up to you, but if you even gotta question it, replace it. Red rocket is right.

 

[byrds6]

This is what it looks like. Maybe Im wrong on it being pinched and this is fine. What does it look like to you guys. I mean to me the bottom looks worse than the top but there is actually a bit of room around it.

Replace it. It's restricted. It will take you less time to replace it than to keep asking questions and posting pictures. Again, replace it. Or keep worrying about it. Either way. I'd replace it but....up to you of course.

 

[byrds6]

Just the bottom one?

They're a nice well-engineered, quality catch can. It looks to be easy to drain too. I don't know if it's the best and there are certainly more expensive ones, as well as cheap ones that are just hollow cans that do nothing. I'm happy with my decision to buy theirs. I highly recommend it.
