Show me what youve got

 

I have a brand new greddy catch can 9mm version. I paid $90 +shp for it.
The damn engine bays on the civic are too tight for it. $90 shipped and it's yours.

 

Not a fan of the red and im looking for something alittle cheaper. Thanks tho

 

DIY w/ air compressor water/oil filter works great. Mine's caught alot in 2-3 week time so far.

 

what exactly is the point of an oil catch can? especially on an NA car?

sorry to clog up the thread but i've always wondered.......feel free to post your response in the PW thread

 

I was thinking about this but Ive heard mixed opnions aobut this..

 

Keeps oil out of the intake

 

it's only a tiny bit of red. It can be painted. I can do it.

also this is like the cheapest one other than the home depot one. GL.

your installing this to go between the line on the intake or where the crankcase breather area is? the one on the intake is relatively useless.

 

The problem with most catch cans out there, including Greddy, is that they're just hollow and essentially don't do the job as well if at all since there's no baffle to capture the oil mist/vapor traveling through the can. I'd trust a baffle to do more catching than merely having the air routed at an angle so the mist/vapor hits the wall of the catch can.

You can pay $90+ on a catch can that doesn't serve a purpose than to look nice under the hood, or you can pay $35 and get a functional DIY can that you can stuff stainless steel coils in as a baffle. I've had mine on for 2-3 weeks now and it's caught a decent amount, and it fits pretty much anywhere in the engine bay cause it's so small. So far I can only say good things about the home depot DIY catch can. Just make sure the bottom valve is sealed with JB weld as it leaks air.

 

any pics of where you mounted yours?

 

if you wanna pay super baller price, i guess ill sell my arc catch can.

 

nvm. i just read you are looking for a cheaper one than 90 bucks. also, i kinda want to keep it. hahaha disregard last post.

 

haha sorry kelso i love that arc can but i cant pay $100+ hahaha. I guess ill check ebay or something.

 

are catch cans universal?

 

yes they come in different sizes, colors, styles, etc
