I am looking into buying a catch can very soon. But with plans for FI in the near future as well, how will the placement work with say a centri charger or the Hinson single turbo setup? It seems as tho there is hardly any room for the catch can to remain where u have it pictured with some sort of blower/turbo installed. Thanks.
Just wondering why this was avoided or ignored...? For those of us interested in per say an A&A kit in the future would this can work?

Sorry guys. I wasn’t happy with the finish on them so we went to anodizing instead. The brackets are set for production but they want an anodized can for sizing to make sure the fit is correct. The can should be to them on Monday and the bracket run should be next week. The fittings were another issue.. trying to get the correct ones for the best price to keep the cost reasonable ... The can has evolved from the first mention of it to what it is now and I hope to have them out in two weeks. Black is the first run.. I am open to color suggestions for the second run of them, I will cover all the colors the anodizing will allow for.
Right now the can has one in port. A t or Y would make it available for multiple feeds, Its possible to set it up for two in ports but it would be less money by using a fitting instead.
Sorry for the delay but I wanted to work out all the bugs before releasing them. Developing the can to work to its maximum potential was one part of the battle.
Making it so its affordable was the second battle, making it decent looking was the third... We won the first battle in good time but the second two have been giving it to us...LOL But I think we have it licked now an am excited for our offering .

I'm still on the hunt for a can that will catch all the oil. Tried one this size and it sucked oil right through. My 416 makes enough pressure to suck a golf ball through a hose. Right now I run a huge canton overkill tank that I stuffed with filters and baffling. It's the only thing I've gotten to work enough. Still want better. What makes a good can is how its designed on the inside. And be able to be taken apart for cleaning

Being able to take it apart adds cost but is not needed with our can.
Simply spraying some brakleen or similar into it and shaking it around and drain it out the drain **** works fine. That was all part of the evolution of my can. The original can be taken apart but it adds a significant cost to it. We're offering a lot for the money. We do have interior SS 40 micron mesh as well as surfacing to increase area... Some engines have more of a need than others and size does make a difference in allowing for cooling and condensation as well as a few other factors. I can’t promise our can will work in every condition but I am sure a daisy chain of two or more would do the job. I can also make a larger can for bigger needs with the same engineering that’s in our current can. But again bigger adds cost, all be it not a huge increase but I can certainly work something out for larger needs like yours. We might have to go out of the box so to speak and come up with a special design for your and engines like yours.. What car is it in?

Well there shouldn't be an excessive amount of blow by no matter what the cube but some do run looser rings and re-sleeved blocks tend to sweat more so there are some heavier needs for sure I think

OK, I've got a new design for you to try out. I'll get it done and send it to you for mounting ... it wont be anything like we've seen before, it wont mount to the head , it will be natural aluminum finish... just a prototype... but should handle larger requirements.
What valve covers do you run?
