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

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

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...

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.
