Default oil catch tank

Ok i'm interested in installing one of these things. I'm looking at one available on ebay.
I have done a search on here, and really have not come up with a concrete diy, which has pictures showing the exact connections at the pcv valve. Does any one have a link showing these pics in detail?

Haha, I didn't think it was that small, must be running a lot of crap through your engine to use it up quickly. In any case, there are tutorials on that site for diy that're like the size of pickle jars.

I thing 1,000,000 is exagerating a bit. Not one of these diy have any pics showing the acutal connection points. And most are on turbo application. I have NA engine. All I want to know is do I take the pcv hose and run that to one of the tubes at the top of the catch tank?(does it matter which side?) Then do I run the other tube from the catch tank to the location where the pcv tube was going in the first place ?

Yep, think you got it down all right, might matter what direction, but I think it depends on the can.

just for a heads up, i had one on my b16 NA and it did nothing, no matter how
i had it hooked up it didnt catch anything, i found it to be quite useless and a
waste of money. on a turbo car or a race car there might be different results.

my catch can fills up about every 3 weeks.... with this filthy awful **** im glad isnt going into my engine combustion chambers.

For NA I believe you put a breather on the valve cover, then run on line from the pcv valve to the catch can and the other from the can to the intake manifold where the pcv port was hooked up.

Direction does not matter. Throw some steel wool in the can to help it catch stuff...
