i have a 94 civic hb . equip witha b18c1 . should i get the universal or the one made for a civic . people prefer a universal. anyone got pic of this. a Cusco oil Catch can.

I would assume you would want to get the one for your car so you can get the correct bracket. Unless of course there's a sizing difference which I doubt. I would think that it would be all the same size and just have a different mounting bracket.

Mario

I'd recommend getting one for the EG or the DC. Not only is the bracket made specific for the chassis, but the inlet/outlet of the can is positioned differently.

Even though you wont be able to mount the catch can in the location shown on the instruction manual (because the battery is there), you'll be able to use it in the future should you choose to relocate the battery or anything of that nature.

the bracket that comes with the catch can is made for a Right hand side drive honda. i'm not sure if there is a universal one, if there is get it.

HondaCivic

What he said. And yes there is a universal one so get that. The brackets will be completely useless if you get the Civic one.

I got the universal and it fits fine. The vehicle specific ones are for RHD so it doesn't do you much good.

BTW, got mine for $100 at Rotary Xecret in LA. IM if you want a phone number...

HTH

Mario

Not true...

this is a pic of my friends car, it's not an EK but nonetheless he's using a catch can that was made specifially for that chassis (DC). The bracket works just fine, provided that you relocate the battery...which is a good thing to do if you're road racing anyways.

just a newbie question

why do we want a catch can??
what is it for??

Mario

It "catches" the blow-by gas from the engine block before re-entering the intake manifold & combustion chamber.

TurBoXBirD16

i also want to know? is this just for turbo car or also a good idea to have on a NA motor......???

Lei Siew Long

where did your friend route the line for the outlet to? i have the hose coming from the valve cover to the inlet and i just put a k&n crankcase breather over the outlet. does anyone know if this is the proper way to do it?

Paul Walker

I have another question on this. What do you do if your car doesn't have a pcv system? I know the T.O.O one has a pcv system built into it for the cars that do swaps that don't have pcv systems. I know some of my friends dont' have pcv systems. Can they still hook this sytem up ok? I was thinking just put the pcv valve inline on the way over to the intake manifold..
