Re: Oil CAtch Can
If people would open up their plenum they would show an interest, the Exxon Valdez dropped less oil than my plenum does!
It is debated if this does any good but I will give it a try. Haibeck says it does no good, I have heard various opinions. Also curious, will the line collapse under the vacuum load? I am running 3/8 fuel hose. LGAFF 92 ZR1 #234 |

Re: Oil CAtch Can
Line should not collapse. 3/8 is pretty thick tubing.

Re: Oil CAtch Can
Lee,i told you not to tell.
Mine serves 2 purposes I use something similar to what XFire51 (Dominic) posted. I put mine where my battery used to be (battery moved to the back) I drain it every so often. The reason some say it doesn't work,they are installing it wrong. My plenum is dry. Pete

Re: Oil CAtch Can
interesting, how much typically are you recovering in say a 1000 mile period?

As said, the amount of oil that pours out of the plenum is kind of frightening!

Re: Oil CAtch Can
[quote=Aurora40]I'd be more interested in one that installed cleanly with minimal cutting up of factory stuff[quote=Aurora40].
Is that a shot at my work......Actually once the lines are trimmed the canister will be invisible you can't see the logo, etc on the filter and the lines are hidden as you can see in the engine shots......and there is no cutting of factory set up. LGAFF 92 ZR1 #234 |

Would like to see larger pics, and I'll see about trying to piece together a kit for the 90-91 and then the 92-95 cars. |
