Ar design oil catch can passenger side mount

Jake@MOTIV · 08-02-2010, 06:46 PM

I've had 3 direct injection cars. All three have had 1-2 catch cans on them. This can really is a sick setup. Thanks for this!

Bump for answer on the inlet / outlet question please.

woplax... the arrow in the inside.. i believe that is where the connector farther to the front is routed, and the out (second connector with no writing on the OCC) is connected to the one closer to the firewall... hope someone can confirm this...!!!

Yes that's what I'm seeking clarification on. If your looking at the engine from the front towards the firewall is the connector on the left the 'blowby out' and the connector on the right the 'blowby in'?

Or does it make no difference??

It makes a difference - and you're correct. Left one is crankcase, goes to in on occ. Right one is intake, goes to out coupler.

Anyone with the new style catch can checked their oil level? I just checked mine after 1500 miles and it's bone dry? I did check to see if anything was leaking but i didn't find any. Thoughts?

Is there any new info about this? Has anyone collected oil with this can?
I'm going to buy an OCC soon, but I don't want to waste my money on one that will leak (RR) or one that doesn't catch anything.

Hey Bud... if you give me a few more weeks I'm planning on posting a nice little HowTo with parts list to piece together a very nice sub-$150 OCC (made by 42DraftDesigns) and install instructions to go with it.

Wait before dropping almost $300 on the BSH or any other overpriced OCC, I think you won't regret it.

I thought there already were sub $150 CC out there?

Very nice! I love 42draft stuff (used to have a TT)
I'll wait a bit then. Their catch can looks nice. I guess you're trying to piece the additional hardware together to hook it up to out PCV system?
