Catch can installed pics wanted
I have a catch can on the way and would like to see how people have it mounted. Is there just the one place or has anybody got a new twist on the install. Thx in advance.

I originally had the saiku michi (very well made and priced) dual catch cans in my car. I now have made my own catch can in which I welded an internal baffle. Both setups attach to the pass. head with a simple bracket I cut out of 1/4" aluminum sheet. I used threaded inserts on my catch can for attachment. The main difference I do compared to most others is that I route the fresh air line (pass. valve cover) and the pcv/valley vent both to a single can. I vent them to the non-vacuum barb on the throttle body and cap off the barb on the intake manifold. That allows everything to vent well and introduces no vacuum to the system which can draw oil into the motor. Another option is to vent to the atmosphere, but in doing so both barbs on the motor need to be capped off to avoid drawing in un-metered air which can cause the motor to go lean. I chose the first simply to keep the smog ***** happy. The two ways I mentioned are the best ways to properly vent a motor.
