And thats good? Is that oil that goes thru the turbine?

Try to find a way to triangulate your mount strap for the can - or that thing will vibrate like a paint shaker with the motor on (especially with any AWR motor mounts) Looks super dope! Here's my paint shaker -

No its not going through the turbine. My crankcase ventilation and everythign runs directly into the can instead of getting fed back into the system, thus keeping the gunk out of the engine... No one else on this forum is running their ventilation like me to my knowlege, and thus they dont really use their catch cans, but mine is fully functional.

Some pics... notice how i have 3 hoses running to my can, instead of the normal 2. (This was the day my car started running again, so no oil can be seen in the lines yet)

Better not steal too much... It took a lot of time and thought getting everything just right in the bay.

A couple things you might not notice at first glance.

- Re-did crappy grounding points for the battery, which consequently got re-done again last week with the addition of the Microtech.
- Every bracket in the bay was removed, sandblasted, and powdercoated gloss black. EVERY BRACKET.
- Everything that was bolted to the actual block was powdercoated, even the oil pan.
- Valve cover was powerdercoated gloss black, and polished on one side to tie the manifold cover and piping together w/the strut bar.
- Engine bay was waxed.


Sooo... some more pics as requested.

You can see how the oil has discolored the lines...

Good enough?

 

[MSP#735]
