Default My Catchcan setup - is this ok?

All I would like to know if the catchcan setup in the pic below, would work or not and basically do its job correctly. Note that the PCV Valve is gutted and the catchcan is baffled on the inside. I am doing this setup for my low boost (less than 10 PSI) setup...



Thanks!!

i dont see why it wouldnt work, probably not going to be effective enough to tell if it helped or not but it looks like it works

Looks as though you may have made the can. To add some appeal, I'd weld one more fitting on the can rather than use the "T" for the hoses. If you have clearance, weld a little tube on the top for the filter. Clean things up and look cooler.

oh drill and tap the oil cap and run a fitting from there, perhaps the largest one you can. the largered the hose/fitting the more effective the catch can set-up

that 1 filter would be restrictive enough with 1 line going to it, yet alone 2.

you are only using 1 of the ports.
take out the pcv valve and put a barb in there.

use the holes in the back of the block. go to honda, spend 5 bux on two fittings and go at it. in my opinion, the valve cover alone isnt enough.

I am not quite sure I get what you're saying - I gutted out the pcv valve so its a straight thru piece now - is that what you are talking about?
