How To: Custom Catch Cans Install (Diary) - Page 8

91TB78 · 02-20-2006, 04:20 PM

Karl,
I'm going to do the DIY install based on the link you sent using the Husky blow-by can probably around the first of March. I'll make sure to take lots of pics.

Funny thing is the owner of the link is a guy I used to AutoX with in Tucson, so small world.

I'm curious if you could emulate crawford's return with your setup.
The way I see it, and i really do like your setup, you will most likely be under boost should you hit redline, and you will most likely be under boost should you have excessive crankcase pressures, and that's when you lose oil, the breathers would be doing all the work, and it's through the breather can that you will get most of your oil.
So looking at how Crawford has his catch can setup, he has a return hooked up back to one side of the breather, going into the valve cover, I'm assuming putting the TEE as low as possible for drainage, which would drain when the car is off.

What are your thoughts of plumbing it this way?

I purchased a Perrin unit, with what I guess is the new one with only 1 input. You guys mentioned before that the perrin allowed for a breather and pcv input (maybe only with a "t" that is not supplied in the kit). Anyways, after reading Wolfs great write up I am not sure which should be of priority with my one can.

I am tuned to ~19lbs, and I am now seriously considering installing this. I have had it for a few months not thinking I would need it til now.

91octane is bad enough, I don't need oil making it worse.

In your experience with your cars which should I plumb? What pukes the most oil? Perrin instructions say PCV.

PCV?
Breather?

Thanks.

The PCV on mine but not by much. Condensation is the key so try to keep it cool or at least cooler. I am considering moving forward to get more condensation. The vapor is so hot and fine that I suspect it is going thru although the outlets hoses are clean.

You inspired me, so I thought you'd like to see another take on the AMW catch can installation:

I triangulated teh aluminum for strength and used the two factory holes in the same location as you did.

You can see here where I had to bore a larger hole in the front of the bracket to get the SS hardware through to secure the piece via the samller hole on the backside.

My only problem is I don't like this part much. The bracket overlaps the mounting access hole. Oh well. I'll be polishing out the bracket to a mirror shine to match my power steering pump and header tank.

Thanks for a great write up Wolfplayer.
