Question Mounting Cusco oil catch

Well was curious if anyone else had this part and where they mounted it? I cant find the directions right now but I believe it said near the brake m/c but its such a tight space in there already. any other ideas?

To be honest I haven't heard of anyone with an FC using one. Would be nice to see someone that has though. How much and where did you get it if you don't mind me asking?

I don't have an oil catch can yet. But...

I don't see why it has to be at a specific location. The catch can is designed to essentially allow the oil to cool (slightly) and slowly collect inside the tank. It just has to be far enough away so that the oil can have a chance to "cool".

Any spare room near the motor would be fine. You can always fabricate a bracket to mount it anywhere you want.

I have the JAZ catch tank from Jegs, $47.99. I mounted mine on the drivers shock tower, it fits nicely and I still have A/C, there would be a lot more room around there w/o the compressor in there...

Well, the bracket from Cusco is model specific. This is driving me nuts since I misplaced the directions. Yea, I removed all emissions and such from this new engine and the PCV still needs to vent so rather then running a vacuum line to the ground I thought I may as well pick up the oil catch and do it right.

I bought it from Takakaira.com at the same time I picked up the SARD fuel pressure regulator. I dont know how to host but I can email you a picture. The car will finally be finished tomorrow night
