Hey Saikou-kun, you should make a catch can with 2 separate chambers, each with their own baffling, entry/exit ports, and glass window! Kind of like a 2 in 1 deal

I've thought about fabbing one up myself but universal placement was the biggest problem. Plus, you'd have to run long lines from those places to a central location making it less than optimal.

great idea, I would buy one. Easiest mid-point is either by the battery or by the motor mount on the other side. Its sort of mid-point, but not really. But, I would buy one if someone made it.

Saikou-kun - I sent you a PM!

Dual chamber concept

I am toying with a 2 in 1 concept catch can design. I got a PM regarding a rectangular shaped one with separate compartments. I also tried to figure out a simpler universal version working with this idea. Here is the simplest design.
Still has a vapor snorkel, and stainless baffling material inside. No sight glass, and of course has a drain in the bottom of each section.
Both top fittings are the incoming line, and the side fittings are the exit.
Take a look

The size is compact, roughly 2" deep, 4" wide, and 5" tall, not including the fittings sticking out.

Wow, that sucker is pretty compact. Looks great though You know, you could offset the sizes, make the PCV can larger in diameter while the intake can smaller and still keep it roughly the same dimensions. Just a thought...

I can imagine making the PCV side longer for more volume. Good suggestion

ya, need something small and compact. Wish that didn't happen to the perrin, its a perfect fit right there for the pcv side. What could u stick in there to keep in from colapsing. Or maybe Saikou_kun could make one like teh perrin but out of aluminum and have it fasten in the same way.

ya, the ebay one was just a thought I thought it was funny with a magnetic oil drain aswell.

Well, the easiest suggestion would be to go to home depot and get you some PVC pipe that fits right into the catch can. However, I don't know if the plastic PVC pipe will hold up and not degrade given the conditions. A buddy of mine had done this some time ago and it seems to be fine, but a word of caution none the less. The best thing would be to find some thin-walled metal pipe equivalent to the ID of the can. No degrading issues there.

I cant believe all these companys have catch cans out, and noneof them are designed correctly.
