Oil Catch Can mounting
I searched the forums and only found chat and instructions for mounting an oil catch can. If anyone has a pic of where they mounted theirs or pics of others mounted on an FD that would be awesome. Thanks...

chopstix---I just know they arent allowed at a lot of races here in Japan.
Oil catch can is for blow-back. Im not sure how useful it would be on a rotary though. Piston engines it would definatly be worth it, I think more so on a street car.

The catch can really isn't for filtering. Hard cornering causes excess oil to get pushed into the intake track. The oil will then end up shooting out your BOV or into your airbox when running the car hard on tracks. The catch can is suppose to give the oil somewhere else to go besides your intake track.
They are useful to a point, but as Crispy's site mentions, it doesn't solve the problem for everyone who tracks their FD.
For a street car, it's not much use.

Mahjik---As in the hard cornering and such its partly true, but also under several conditions, which in hard street driving/drifting/drag its all harder conditions then the curcuit track as in blow back.
Like mentioned though, you are UNABLE/ BANNED from the track in Japan for using them on the curcuit track.

As far as drifting, same thing as above. Something that shouldn't be done on pulbic streets, so that falls into the "tracking the FD" catagory. Basically this can happen anytime there is a lot of prolonged lateral G's on a "track".
I've never heard of this problem with drag racing. I can't see the oil being pushed through the PCV in just a drag race. This is typically a problem coming from lateral G's.
I don't know about curcuit racing in Japan but my comments were never directed towards that.

Mahjik---Im just speaking from a Japan point of view since I was pointing my comment towards "chopstix" who is in Japan. Japan streets arent even close to the same of any US street/roads I have ever been..
anyway..... not important anyway....
