certain ones that actually work like the DC3 require you to connect it a certain way, one nipple to cover, one to intake.

you said attach one end to cover, other end to intake. certain cans require you to run them to certain nipples and they AREN'T interchangeable or the can won't work right newb. this is only with cans that actually work, not the little bling greddy one that you probrably have on your car doing nothing but looking shiny.

Dude, your an idiot. a catch can catches blow back, wich is basically excess oil in your intake track. theres one logical way to hook it up. and not only does my oil catch can look shiny but it also serves as a flux capacator enableing me to travel back in time nd warn your mother not to drink while pregnant.

search "DC3" to see a can that actually works and you'll see what i mean, until then, you haven't a clue. you can only hook them up one way or you'll suck the oil out of the can and into the intake. but maybe i'm just an idiot. i love know-it-all newbs! not all catch cans are created equal.

You guys are mean


On a serious note......

For the OP it's not that difficult at all; the hardest part maybe finding a spot to install it based on the type of catch can you have.


Yes the DC3 is slightly different to install; as it taps into another line (PCV line) to catch oil residual.

(I'll probably install my DC3 during the upcoming Nor'Easter this Sunday).


Search the forums or PM me.

Always willing to help a fellow Evo owner .

Search or just click on the link I provided last night which has the requested diagrams. Saikon Michi also makes a DC3 single can if you do not want to do the PCV and intake set up. I personally am only doing the DC3 single can inline with the hose from intake tube to valve cover. The PCV is good but really not necessary. Now who wants to comment on that?

PS: There is a good installation thread written by kmcconn9 for the single can. I suggest taking a look at it after looking at the link I provided up top there last night.

that's what i run, the single. but you have to connect the top nipple to the valve cover and the lower nipple to the intake or you'll suck the oil through the can and into the intake track since the top nipple has an internal tube that goes to the bottom of the can under the packing that condenses the vapor.

Yeah I know what you are saying, if you follow the DC3 website. Although baffling is just baffling so it shouldnt matter which way the vapors flow. I'll have to look at the site again though to see how they really claim how it works because it has been months. Either way your flow in is going to equal your flow out minus what the baffling catches and I dont see how the direction would matter.
