yeah not sure to buy one.... I try to put the least money possible on that engine, for the time it has before it is changed, it will stay like this. it never has been cleaned before, I think (and hope) it won't build up as much in the next 6 months

Catch can could be used on the new motor.

[Pascal]

Yeah it could, so what would be a "proper" catch can ? any brands/models that could easily fit in my engine bay ? Don't want to pay 300$ for one ether .

A proper catch can usually has a baffle in it so the oil vapors don't get sucked back into the intake.  I had a Greddy one at one point, but that also needed a baffle.  I don't have any of my vent lines going to the intake any more.  I vented to atmosphere, but a custom catch can is something that I'm going to be having fabricated next.  You mentioned that you don't want to spend $300, which is high for an off the shelf catch can.  Realistically, what are you willing to spend?  I like the Radium Engineering (www.radiumauto.com) catch cans, but it may be more than you're willing to spend.

this is what I am talking about a 300$ catch can, seems to be really good quality but it maybe is too fancy for me.

This one from Radium Engineering as you suggested seems more affordable and still good quality, but still a bit much.

What I am looking for is more a cheapest possibly that still does the job  (not an empty container with 2 fittings on top)

[timot_one]

A lot of people put stainless steel mesh inside.

[Jeff Likes Bagels]

Sounds wacky but I wonder if you could put fittings onto an all stainless steel travel mug of some kind. Would be pretty neat to test out as long as there aren't any plastic pieces.

[Pascal]

I know that on our Formula Student racecar, we use a king can beer as a container but I don't know what's inside. We use that due to it's light weight and low price ( We also get to drink the beer  )

[Mike]

Stainless steel mesh as a low budget baffle?

[Pascal]

In two weeks, those will be mine !  3 years old, 31K miles, never seen winter, 660$ for suspension and rear camber kit.
Seems like I will be lowered next summer ! 

[Pascal]

These bad boys are now mine 

now let the winter finish already so I can put them on

K24a2 is going in Monday, The Manual Conversion will be later on since I found out that i'll have to do some custom brackets to make the clutch pedal and master hold safely in place.

[timot_one]

Why custom brackets?

Are you using k tuner for tuning?

[Pascal]

Check out this video.

Auto and manual firewall aren't the same, the harness needs to be relocated and the spot to place the pedal isn't there either.

It might not be as hard as it seems but it definitely isn't a bolt on conversion.

Yes I am using the Ktuner ecu.

New engine is in and running !
Going on the dyno soon.
