Here is my simple setup. 2 3/8 bungs in the back of vc with 3/8npt-1/2 hose barb fittings that run over to my baffled catch can. Simple and cost effective. Like $150 total.

Great thread to subscribe to!
I'll now need to find a decent catch can to install that actually works unlike most of the cans out there.
Any suggestions on cost effective ones? I've seen the Endyn version, Z10, and even the B R fittings one.
Plus I am not gonna pay $200+ for it!

Internal baffling is also something that has me wondering too, I have yet to see any cans with built in baffling. Unless you fill it with steel wool which I plan on doing anyway.
Enlighten me with the correct knowledge...

Re: Official Catch Can / Breather Setup V2.0
What is a decent catch can though? I'm not running very high boost so I don't think I will need the valve cover method but the rear bungs setup like the Endyn can.

Re: Official Catch Can / Breather Setup V2.0
Really? Why don't you enlighten me then? I've seen these catch cans in person, the Endyn, Greddy, NRG, Cusco and a bunch of other no name brand "catch cans" and all that I have seen (except the Endyn), have no internal baffling.

From what I have read, the steel wool would act like a media for the oil vapors to pass through. The heavier molecules with the oil would catch on the steel wool but the air would vent out or return back into the intake manifold minus the oil.
Make sense to me and I think I even read about it back in the day on the BBS boards of Endyn.

i gunna have to politly disagree with you .. if you were to see the crapp oil and milk my old baffle can help hold i think you oppinion would change. theres just nothing to stop the crap from staying in the can.
not saying all fi cars need baffles in there cans..

Re: Official Catch Can / Breather Setup V2.0
My can is baffled, And it has a drainback to the front of the oil pan. I think its more important to baffle the vc than it is the can. But both wont hurt ether.
