Oil Catch Can

Ok, I've searched a bunch and I'm tired of looking now.

Looking for a decent oil catch can. I was looking at TTP but I'm not biased against other brands. I don't know much about what goes into engineering these or if they're basically all the same. If you have some or know about them, post up some comments, also pics of WHERE you installed it would be nice. Thanks guys


Nick

I was looking for the same thing a few months ago. I went with the Saikou Michi DC3 dual chamber catch can. I'm very happy with it. I had it installed under the intake, but I just put in a new UICP, so I'm putting it next to the mini-battery. The website has some pictures of various mounting locations--http://www.saikoumichi.com/install_pics.htm

Just installed my DC3 Dual Chamber. It is a quality piece of work. I mounted it under the BCS. Plenty of room and easy to drain in that location. Nothing but positive reviews from fellow Evo owners as well.

Drain at least every time you do an oil change. If you drive hard, or track your car, do it more often.
Draining is as easy as possible. Turn that little brass T-handle to open the valve.

weaponR I use for the breather side, it fits nicely ontop of the strut bar. I use a small walmart type for the PCV valve. works great.

You can get a great disposable one for 3 buck at your local auto store.

When installing a catch can on the PCV to ITM side, does the PCV valve need to be relocated so it is between the ITM and the catch can? If so how do you install it there? If the PCV valve is left between the valve cover and the catch can is there any chance the can would be over pressurized when under boost since the valve closes?
