Default **LMR C7 Catch can/Breather setup for Forced Indcution**

We have our first unit on our TT system and will be offering these as kits for anyone to purchase. Anyone looking to install a forced induction application will need a great breather system. Should have pricing for complete systems with everything needed including lines/fittings in a couple days. Having crazy weather for Houston, roads iced over. Here are some pics of our custom breather system we will be selling as kits mounted on the drivers side with two filters. Will get better pics of a unit not installed on vehicle.






If anyone has any questions or wish to order the LMR breather system please do not hesitate to call shop or email sales@latemodelracecraft.com or rob@latemodelracecraft.com and one of our sales staff will be able to assist you.

Very cool! I was admiring this when the first pictures came out.

Definitely need a catch can, but FI can make it a pain. The only thing I'd be worried about is if the hoses will end up being in the way of a large centri.

Also, I assume these will come with an optional black finish?

These will available for purchase for $699 plus shipping and that includes all the assembled hoses, Catch can, mounting hardware, Filters, Weld on fittings for valve covers, and everything else needed for installation.

These setups are PERFECT for forced induction cars and high horsepower NA applications as well.

We will also sell them to shops for a discounted rate. PM me for more information.

Very frustrating there are no instructions included with the kit. I too have one on order for my A&A supercharger and no clue how to hook it up.

An image of the can with the individual ports marked to reflect their intended connection points would be very helpful LMR.

Please feel free to pm/email/ or call the shop anytime. We will be glad to walk you through the process until our Instruction manual is complete.

Just noticed how the hoses are connected differently after installing the supercharger.
So the top hose connects to the lmr catch can.
The blow off hose connects to the lower hose to the engine & thats all?

2 hoses to the valves & 1 hose to the oil tank

Our catch Can system does not tie into the intake at all. We use a fitting on both valve covers to the -10an fittings on the tank. Then the 2 -6an lines, one runs to the valley cover port, the other runs around and ties in to the factory breather lines coming off the dry sump tank. (if wet sump, you just put a -6an cap on the un used port on the tank.)

Any updates from people using this catch can with the ECS, A&A, pro charger kits. Does it work properly.I was told not to install a catch can with FI but this looks interesting. I am worried about oil ingestion and really don't like the idea of sucking in foul air through my CAI. will this eliminate the burnt oil smell I get in the cab when I turn the blower on or is that coming from the Tial blow-off? seems like the smell is coming from there but it gets air from CAI..which has my PCV tubes in it now.

I have been using the LMR catch can now for some time and think its a great unit. It does have some downsides as you mentioned. The smell in the cabin is bad and needed to be addressed. I crafted a solution and would be happy to post pics if anyone is interested.
