Oil catch can - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

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

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.

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

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,

Mine is mounted down under the headlight:

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

What you get away with

Looks like I'm good to go under the headlight. Thanks all!

I'm still highly in favor of a 'catch can', but I've seen no one's setup that has any manner of cycling the oil BACK to the CC (or the dirt, or SOMEwhere), with some sort of check valve integrated 'thereinto'......

After a few trips to the grocery store, a full catch can don't catch - CAN it?
