Default Will this be high enough for my catchcan?

I am installing my Endyn Catchcan kit and I cant seem to find room in my EG that is up high. In a past honda-tech thread I found this. Could I mount my catchcan like this or is it to low?

(That is not a Endyn but you get the point)


Any other suggestions?

I was able to mount my Z10 to the strut tower in my EH-3. I don't have a good pic of it though. It was mounted under where the wiring harness is mounted to the strut tower.

Is the oil return the only reason it needs to be so high?

I would think that would be the reason. I didn't run a return line on mine. It had a plug at the bottom for draining.

its too low, it needs to be mounted above the port level on the back of the block

I know it needs to be mounted higher for return reasons but if im not using the return does it have to be higher?

Yep that is just about where mine was mounted. It worked great on my NA car and I didn't get any major oil or sludge in it.

i run it back without any issues, unless you have really bad leakdown and alot of fuel is making it past your rings, it should for the most part be oil.

think about this..if you are going to run the drain back with the pcv on top of the catch can..why would you waist the cash on something that would do the same thing the tank on the back is doing..i have a new type r build and i do not drain back..and after drianing the ish out of my can..on why i would ever drain back....

Just remove the wireing harnesses and let them hang in the engine bay.
