Oil Catch Can DIY [OBX-RCT003]

[Jeff Likes Bagels]

Are you able to stuff anything inside the cans, or are they pretty much closed off? I'm really tempted to get one of these catch cans after seeing the shit in my injector base. The runners were like black. After I get a catch can installed, I think I'm going to do a cleanup of my car. Clean the blow-by in the TB and IM, clean the MAF, etc.

You can't "stuff" anything in them.  If you can justify spending the money, go ahead and get one.

Alright, thanks Tim. I was thinking of using the stainless steel scrub things to put in the can, but it's no big deal. Better than nothing. I can't wait to do this.

so both of these setups are correct(the first one and http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/9636/dscn2087n.jpg)? which one should i do cause i just got this same catch can and was going to install it for the intake side?

[Jeff Likes Bagels]

I believe the one that goes into the intake manifold is "more correct" because the majority of the blow-by goes through there. In other words, you're going to catch more oil on that setup rather than the other one on the intake side.

Had a nice long weekend with the K24

Installed Hondata Heatshield Gasket , P2R intake manifold gasket, painted my intake manifold, and installed my OBX oil catch can.....  (intake manifold position)

Installation is a breeze, mounting the catch can is a little tricky, i protected my one hose and attached it to that.... the can sorta sits perfect in that little area near the radiator.... doesnt move at all
tubing was a breeze, just a few hose clamps (which i plan to clean up) and it worked out great

10-15 miles on it so far and my bottom tube is already brown (showing signs of oil vapors being caught)
as you can see behind my injector plate area was pretty oily and dirty, runners were oily, injector runners were oily.... so hopefully the catch can will cut down on this issue

Before:


Intake Mani - Off


Paint intake Mani -


Take off injector plate and gasket - OILY !!!




Bought 3' of Tubing from home depot and hooked up my OBX Oil catch can - i used steel wool as the filter




And TODAAAAAA !!! my hard work pays off... i like the black IM look
