Default Update #3 on my setup... charge piping/intake tube/catch can...

figured I'd post up some pics...







my $60 catch can, with a drain back to the block



Charge piping...still gotta get it welded...







And check out my wannabe tony1 battery mount! Thanks for the idea tony!



Now, I just need to save up a couple bucks to get a radiator.

thos battery locations work killer in EFs but i cant do that **** on my EG, sucks ***!

also if you take some thin vacuum line or door molding and run it around that hole for your charge piping, it wont vibrate and beat it to **** when the engine rocks around, ran into that one too


looks good

Thanks! edit: I was thinking the wrong part of the piping. However, I will definetly do that! I don't want the chassis to wrub a hole in the aluminum charge piping either! That **** is expensive!

Thanks guys!

Blackcrx, it is a CRX chassis (just to clarify). it's fairly thick, but it only took a minute or 2 with a hole saw on my drill.

are you "boxing" that hole bryson? (stick a tube through it and weld it in..)

just curious...... looks plenty strong already...

i've thought about running mine that way, but i've never done a setup that way yet. now that i know others do it, i'll probably do it

Hehe yup. Hole saws work great. You just have to make sure you wear hearing protection because they are Fing LOUD!

Probubly not. I will most likely just paint the bare metal, and then stick on some rubber to cover up the edges.

I got it locally at a place called ontrack performance. I can't remember the company who makes it though, but I'll find out. It's baffled and everything too!

Looks killer!

I like the turbo intake tube, I bet that will lower your intake temps pretty well.

Why's your throttle cable like that though?

I like the battery mounting position, I might have to do that some day.

Yeah, I'm surprised that more EF guys don't run it like this.

I'm still using the rediculously long DX throtal cable. It works, so why change it...hehe.

The can has 2 side fittings, and one bottom fitting. I have 2 block fittings (non-check valve), both of which are connected too the side fittings. Then the drain tube from the bottom fitting on the can is T'd into the closest block fitting. It's all down hill from the can...
