    oil catch can

    i am looking at getting a vision oil catch can for dc2r. anyone here have experience with these? suggestions? are they easy to install? is cusco or greddy better? (i hear theyre a bit smaller than the vision?)..where do they plug in?

    I have a $30 one from eBay and it works just as well as those mega expensive ones.

    Do a search (or wait for Tanghy) on honda-tech.com on oil catch can, and look for an image that someone hand wrote on a paper towel with instructions on how the catch can should be connected.

        it depends on whatever floats your boat .. i dont think there is a big diff .. its there just to catch oil ..
        it doesnt serve any huge purpose..

        i've seen people use coke bottles effectively.. =)

              Too bad that crsx was pruned we already had an extensive discussion on oil catch tanks

                I no longer use a catch can, go figure if this is such a crucial or useful mod. Just get a crankcase vent filter, even that's almost pointless.

                  I believe Catch cans help alot for track.

                  It caught a fair bit of dirty oil in the can from going back into the engine (combustion chambers?)

                  I do know some people have hooked up the oil cans incorrectly.

                  They hook it to the rocker cover and intake pipe which is incorrect.


                  Hmm, need to find that diagram.

                    Either I don't track my cars hard enough or your engines need a rehaul/build. Excessive blowout from a non modified block causing the above are symptom signs of an engine age or problems even.

                    If you have a modified block with upgraded/rated internals, I have nothing to add in aspect.

                      Well it was about 2 cms of oil in a cusco catch can after about 40-50 laps

                      So i wouldnt say it was excessive.

                        I do on average 120-150 laps per day everytime I'm out on the ring ... Not one single drop til date in the catch can from being installed 5 years back.

                        No operator/install error either.
