Default Custom Oil Catch tank Completed

I've just finished installing a Oil catch tank/seperator in the PCV valve line. (I don't track the car yet, so I've not installed a baffle or chamber in the front breather as hecash has) The can is made from Aluminium, and is internally baffled. I have mounted the tank next to the battery, It fits quite well and doesn't hit anything. I've got pics in progress and the completed install. Most of the JDM tanks are large and difficult to mount without loosing your cruise control. I still want my Cruise! This is a prototype, with a bracket made to index the fittings. I am considering making more of these, with a one piece welded on mount, depending on interest.

Nice! Curious why you decided to install it in the location you chose?

The biggest reason is I have a Vortech, Which eats most of the underhood space up.

Makes sense now. If I didn't already have the Greddy catch can, I would take one. I might take one anyway. PM me when you are ready to sell one.

I just wanted to clarify, There are 2 baffles welded inside the tank, One is below the inlet fitting, the other is below the outlet fitting. I'll also be ading protective foam tape to the contact areas on the bracket, I just didn't have any tonight.

Big thumbs up! I can't find a place where I'd like to mount my Cusco with the Vortech stealing all my space, so probably am just going to sell it and being your first customer
