RE: Oil Catch Tanks installed??

Has ANYONE actually installed one of these on the RA yet? If so, can you post a pic of it installed. Thanks.

Haven't gotten one yet. I thought they all mounted vertically except for the Weapon R one for the evo.

Nobody should need one yet, unless they've gone turbo or SC. Your piston rings shouldn't be worn out enough to blow oil out of your valve cover breather tube or PCV valve.

Unless you're just going for the look..?

you know the tube that connects the crankcase vent to the intake? it's a straight connection, no valve there.. there's where all the crap is blowing into the manifold

they do make them both ways..

I am thinking of getting the horizontal one because it's easier to mount

I think he was referring to the pcv valve. look at the this section "option" is this what you are talking about?

I'm still waiting to see one installed on a Ralliart. I'm just curious as to mounting location.
