Oil catch can - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

chriskinzel · 03-20-2014

I am going to install an oil catch can on my car. I can't seem to find a goof mounting spot on the inside of the fender. Will it work in the open space in front of the wheel? I am questing this because it is quite a run for the hoses.
TIA
Chris

Thanks Dynomite, but the can I have is too wide to fit in that location. Just wondering if it will work a little farther away from the engine.

The length of the tube isn't an issue; volume isn't a factor that pipe length, say to the headlight well and back is going to be impede flow significantly. I believe Bob G mounted a substantial can there that he had fabbed up to serve his 427. Al too might have one there as well.

FWIW,

I think BobG. mounts his "substantial can" in the drivers seat most of the time.

Look.at this picture and you will see where I mounted mine in front of the asr cover. Ignore the 17C on the plenum :-)
