So ive got one of these:

And I need to mount it in this:

Anyone with catch can pics in the 740 bay...please post to give me some ideas?

Ideally I would want to mount it flat were the charcol canister is, but alas it has to stay.

Does the current catch thing not work? I was thinking of doing what you have right now...

That's an oil/air or water/air separator for air compressors. It does the same thing as a catch can, only its super small, fills up quick if you happen to make a lot of blow by, and doesn't belong in a car. A friend of mine put one on his truck, and it created a vortex and eventually sucked all of the muck into the intake.

Ahh, okay. Does that particular Greddy can have the 5/8th fittings on it? I put a catch can with some 3/8th fittings and that failed...dipstick pushed out and oil everywhere.

lol with my almost full option 760 i have noo way of mounting my Greddy somewhere in the engine-bay to freaking big

There is plenty of space, you just have to be creative.

and have a longer hose yes.. what kinda hose is it anyway just something you get at the local car parts store?

SlowRide · 02-03-2009, 12:35 PM

Sure, petrol safe 5/8" or 15mm (16mm?) silicone rubber. I don't like the clear stuff myself.

Mine is right side behind the headlight and in front of cone filter. I was gonna post a pic then realized I have no pics.

1st thing you need to do is get rid of the 3/8" barbed fittings and get at least ½" fittings. I have the same catch can btw. I don't like the above the battery position as its then always in the way.

Dfer10 · 02-03-2009, 09:50 PM

looks like you already have one in place. looks small but weird. what is it? the breather hose runnin over the valve cover split half way with a catch setup of some sort.

maxman142001 · 02-03-2009, 09:53 PM

Yeah ive got a home depot catch can on there right now...but has been leaking lately, so i need a less leaky replacement. Looks like it will be mounted above the battery with some sheet metal screws.

Dfer10 · 02-03-2009, 09:55 PM

oh ok cool. i put mine on right behind the right headlight. in that area where the stock airbox was, had the same greddy can and all.

u can see it if you look hard.

maxman142001 · 02-03-2009, 09:58 PM

yeah wish i could mount it on the intake side...but this is what i would have to deal with

Dfer10 · 02-03-2009, 09:59 PM

lol ahh yes pretty packed in there. time to get creative lol
