Chris141084 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I'm looking to fit an oil catch can, question is, which one? Not looking to spend a fortune, but don't want an eBay special either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissanman312 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I use 2 mishimoto compact cans Not the cheapest but do seem to work well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHEZZA Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) Yes as nick has said I’ve got one too and as It would happen I’ve also got one for sale as well. I’m open to sensible offers. Edited November 21, 2017 by SHEZZA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob350 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) Iv been looking into catch cans recently... I stumbled on this thread made in 2012 by @GT4 Zed... I'm thinking of having a go at somthing like this for both sides.. instead of spending £250 for 2 cans Edited November 22, 2017 by Rob350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 ^mine is still working and leaking oil down the side of my engine bay (the nipple at the bottom keeps bouncing on a hose under it and letting the oil out). Probably should relocate it somewhere but space is a premium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to hear, I wasn't to sure on what the little bottle thing was he was using, I ebayed the he'll out of it to find that I think its an inline air compressor filter, so iv just bought 1 of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272173192241 and I'll see how it goes. Just need to buy hose and 2 1/4 inch threaded to 10mm hose pipe connector bits and I'll see how it goes..

Chris141084 Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 No worries mate, did you have to buy your pipe work separately, or did it come as a kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHEZZA Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I bought it separately mate, got some mishimoto 10mm vacum hose. However being silicone it's porous so I'm looking to change it, any recommendations would be good 3 minutes ago, Chris141084 said: No worries mate, did you have to buy your pipe work separately, or did it come as a kit?

Chris141084 Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 I would see where you nearest hydraulic supplier is, I'll be going to carlton hydraulics near me and asking for some pipe rated to carry oil so it doesn't degrade. Clear plastic hose should do the trick tho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris141084 Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) My biggest questions are, do I need to use a 2 or 3 port catch can? Would there be any advantages/disadvantages in only running a catch can from one bank instead of both Edited November 22, 2017 by Chris141084 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilscorp Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Personally I would just stick a filter on the rear pvc breather as it has never had oil in mine but its not got a vac pulling the air through it, which explains why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice mate, I'll either just leave the passenger side, as you say there's no vac and you've not seen any oil yet, or I'll get a mini filter on it and cap the connection to the intake, but looking forward to seeing how much oil actually comes through from drivers side Edited November 22, 2017 by Rob350 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 The boost isn't helping my stem seals I fear = lots of oil collected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
