Re: My DIY oil catch can (Boost Addict)
how did you connect it? I mean there's a lot of ways to connect the can, just curious on how you hooked yours up. Good job it looks OE

Re: My DIY oil catch can (BrokeAssPinoy)
How did you make it?
What did you make it out of?
I have been thinking about making one myself... but with two inlets and a breather on the top, like the moroso one...
I just don't feel like spending $100+ on the moroso one when I can make one more easily...

I just used some black tubing from Home Deopt with a cap on the top and bottom, then just attched some fittings, put a k&n filter in one fitting, and the hose in the other. Used zip ties to attach it
Cost me about $40, $20 of that was on the filter

Re: (JoKeRX)
Is it important to have an internal baffle to seperate the oil and air????
Thats the only thing stoping me from just making something.

Re: (2000civicsi)
What kind of pipe did you use? Diameter?
And what are the caps made out of?
I am going to make one this week, but I am going to put the filter on the top, and have two fittings on the side with a baffle on the inside...

Re: (EJ1 wilcox)
i started my breather can project today. when finished it will basically be a knock off of the endyn or z10 kit. i still havn't decided which can i'll be using, but i picked up all the extra little things today.
the block fittings that endyn uses are availible at the honda dealership for 11.05 a piece, you'll need two............they had to order mine. pn 11107-pk2-003
my motor used to have the breather chamber underneath the intake, but i had to get rid of it to make room for some things. to fill the hole, i went to autozone and bought the appropriate size freeze plug. it was listed as a 34.3mm, and it was a buck. it tapped into the block snug. i think the plug that z10 sells is like 20 bucks, but it IS shiny, so i dont know
also at autozone, i got all the misc hoses, clamps, etc along with the 14mm 1/2in drive allen key in order to get the old plugs out of the block. it came in a package of 12,14,17mm, and was 8 bucks i think
this is a very easy little project for anyone that's thinking about doing it

It looks like a pcv valve on top of the valve cover. Arent we supposed to remove the pcv valve for boosted engines?

just stuff a bunch of steel wool in there that's what I did with mine.
I did a similar setup, but using an ebay $40 catch can, tapped 1/4" NPT into the top of the can (it was not vented) and put in a fitting and a filter.
