DIY "poor mans oilcatch container"

[zeff]

here it goes...

since it is hard for me to purchase an oilcatch can i decided to make one instead..

the things i have; straight from junk parts:

- a 500ml plastic gatorade container


- a T shaped plastic cover(i think its from an old plastic radiator reserve container)


first i did was drilled a hole to the cap of the gatorade container with the exact same size as the "T"..


then snug the "T" to the hole of the drilled plastic cap


then there you have it..i call it the "poor mans oilcatch container"


all i need now is rubber tubes to connect the PCV and rocker breather to the "T"..

i only intend to put this during drag race since thats the time vtec always kicks in..

comments, suggestions, is not allowed... nah...jaz kidding its always welcome guys

Buy an eBay catch tank and modify it. I assure you zeff, you need it even if you dont vtec all the time. You saw what happen to my IM. My motor was only built 2 years ago and i only use it 2 or 3 time a month.

custom is cheap and some times more effective than expensive jdm parts
you can always use spray cans they are made from aluminium !
