Well, im broke so i decided to make my own catchcan while keeping the OEM look. I used the emission filter can on the firewall since i cant pass emissions anyways. First thing i did was cut it open to remove all the charcoal inside and cleaned it up, i found out that it was already baffled so it was a good thing. Drilled 2 holes for the fittings, added a filter on the baffled part, plugged up one vacuum port and glued the bottom back on. I got rid of my PCV system and made it into open loop, just had the black box behind the block, valve cover breather and gas tank ventilation all routed back into the catchcan. well i hope my pics work, enjoy!


EDIT: SCROLL DOWN FOR PICS

Nice! I like. Are there any downsides to doing this mod such as gas mileage or whatnot? Im in MI, no emission testing or anything

Gas mileage should be better since the oil vapors arent being burned anymore. I dont see any performance downside to this mod at all, unless someone can point it out for me?

Jordo fixed it 0
What part is that? the actual can

 

Thanx for hosting

The can is the emission filter on the firewall... all honda's have em, just look under ur battery and its that black can.

 

that's just gangsta

 

where can I get that breather filter at?

 

kool idea dandee

 

Im about to do this on my car. Im going to be using the A/C dryer--i looked inside one of the bolt holes the other day and its baffled at the bottom.
TO properly do this you should make it closed loop. Simply done, just attach a line from where your breather filter is going over to the intake side of the turbo---the only place where constant vaccum will be one a turbo car.

This is a great mod, I cant wait to start on it.

Also another idea. Goto Home Depot and get a petcock and tap it into the bottom so that you can drain that sucker!

 

be careful using an a/c dryer,they have a pouch in them that is filled with a substance that resembles sand. not good for a cooling system.

 

nice DIY . im going to have to try that after i ref my ITR motor

i cut open the bottom, removed all the charcoal particles inside, cleaned it up and sealed it back up.

Oh ya, i forgot to mention that i tapped the bottom and put a 1/8th plug on it.

thanx man, i tend to do creative stuff when im broke and cant afford nice things

 

Very creative.

 

lol.. Looks good dandee.. good thinking!

 

most of the ones i've seen were made of ABS piping with end caps. personally, i dont wanna chop up any emission equip.

 

Neeto! But just one question do you have a drain plug on the bottom to drain it if it gets full?

 

dang I like that! I'd just buy a 2nd canister and mount it next to it. thats clean.. me likes. me likes.

 

I made one using the a/c dryer. I cut it open and removed the sand bag, inserted a bunch steel wool for the oil to cling to. Tapped a bolt into the bottom for periodic draing and welded the sucker back together. Looks pretty cool since it is made of aluminum.

Yes sir, i tapped a plug on a bottom so i can unscrew it when its full.
