Ok, I have a problem. I'm trying to install my oil catch can and I was thinking about putting it where JTso put it here:



but I seem to have something there:


Anyone know what it is? If I can't remove it any ideas where else could I put this thing... I have one about the same size as Jonny's. Thanks guys!

If you have already removed the air inlet tube under the cover when you installed the CAI, then just pop the 3 push pins off and lift the cover.

TSX.Fury

Hmmmm I haven't... but I don't need that now that I have removed the stock intake system? It's easy to remove hopefully right

CCColtsicehockey

Yea its fairly easy to remove. I thought we were installing part next weekend guess you got impatient.

TSX.Fury

Haha yeah I did the Hood Shocks yesterday so I figured I would do this today I was bored. This way we can focus on the photoshoot next weekend. Again assuming I have my taillights back

TSX.Fury

Hmmmm... easy to remove my ass! That bolt on the bottom is a PITA! I can't reach it from the top so I guess I'm gonna have to remove the bumper and go at it from underneath.

Lol, the funny thing is I will probably leave the bumper off so I can replace the headlight and the grille this week. So for a while my car wont have a front or rear bumper, front grille, tail lights, and one headlight!

TSX.Fury

OK, I'm taking a break to warm up... but here's where the final position of the catch can will be.

CCColtsicehockey

looks good man. you should remove your radiator brakets and get them polished.

CCColtsicehockey

Pictures of the hood shocks please. Did you get the high end model with the stainless steel shocks.

CCColtsicehockey

So we are going to hopefully have some parts to install in my car hopefully I am crossing my fingers.

TSX.Fury

Yup

CCColtsicehockey

those are not very JDM of you.

TSX.Fury

hey Mr. Ron Jon wheels... don't tell me about non-JDM

Wheels are a MUCH bigger part then hood shocks!

jiggaman

what does an oil catch can do anyways?

CCColtsicehockey

hey now chill but you got taillights too what about those.

wheels may not be JDM but they are 3pc.

CCColtsicehockey

install looks good post some pictures of where you ran your lines for the tank. also you get those tires mounted on those wheels yet man. next weekend is getting ever so close.

TSX.Fury

Here's the finished product...



And here's where I ran the lines:

TSX.Fury

JTso,

Question... the line running behind the battery and intake manifold; does anything back there get to hot for the line to touch. Right now its just free back there but I'm wondering if there is anything I should zip tie it away from?

CCColtsicehockey

I either need to clean my valve cover or just buy a new one and sell mine. yours is so much brighter red than mine and its obvious someone spilt oil on mine before me.

JTso

You should be fine as long as the line is automotive grade and can handle heat. The lines you have will turn brown after awhile. That's why I use PCV hoses or transimission cooling hoses.

Btw, looking good. Could you post a pic of the mounting bracket?

TSX.Fury

Yeah I figured about the hoses but the one in the front came with the Cusco can so I figured I would just buy matching hose for the other one. The hose I bought is all purpose stuff, but mentions automotive... and is thicker than the hose they gave me with the can. I might end up buying some black stuff and redoing it but for now I'll leave that.

He's a pic of the mounting bracket, it got kinda dark out so I had to use the flash, I'll take a better one later. With the can they gave me the plate that slides into the can, (its a "T" with the top part sliding into a groove on the can) The bottom of the "T" has six holes in it. They also gave me two "L" brackets. I'm sure I didn't use the hardware like intended but it works so



EDIT: You can see the second row of three empty holes on the "T", I had to use the inside holes to fit the can. Then you can tell I just used both the "L" brackets to create the shoot for the battery tie down bar to go through. Thanks for thinking of that btw Johnny, I dont think I ever would have

lito

Say it ain't so Ben, non JDM part. That's it you two are banned from the ALL JDM club. From now on you two will be known as USDM whores.








very nice Ben!

CCColtsicehockey

hey look whos talking. when was the last time you bought a part for your car. bring it to the show we see what happens. lol j/k.

TSX.Fury

Empty your PM box man! lol, I've been trying to send you a PM for like a week.

CCColtsicehockey

I think I know what it is about. maybe he will finally make another mod to his car.

lito

you can be sure about one thing though if I do get some new parts for my car it wil be JDM

TSX.Fury

Show me JDM hood shocks and I'll trade these in






Although... I can show you lots of JDM wheels and SOMEONE doesn't have JDM wheels

Reach

Can someone please explain to me the benefit of the oil catch can, and where to get one?

Looks like a cheap mod, and my air tube is already gone, and I assume there's some benefit, so I may pursue this. Thanks guys.
(search is not my friend looking for words like 'oil' and 'can')

TSX.Fury

^I'm psychic

CCColtsicehockey

I can show you someone with a wheel sponsorship too.

CCColtsicehockey

its the only non US part I have put in my car since I started my JDM conversion and they are 3pc wheels and done for show reasons. you actually get more points for 3pc wheels than JDM wheels. So I could have gotten the most points getting 3pc JDM wheels but find a set for less than 1k a wheel. oh and by the way the radar was for the CL.

CCColtsicehockey

CCColtsicehockey

reading isnt either.

TSX.Fury

Damn... lol I was afraid someone would do that.

Although I would take one's designed to fit the car over those anyday
