Beedub · 07-09-2011, 05:56 AM

well ive had my vt2-500 for a while now, we really should be running a proper oil catch can setup, the problem??? having spent hours lookin to mount the 1 ltr can, im stumped....... Their is literraly no-where to mount this thing without just horribly tacking it somewhere, something ill never do.....

so i need a catch can that can be really neatly mounted preferably bolted to the motor somewhere, i dont want to add wholes to my chassis anywhere that hasnt already got one......

hellppppp!!!

iphone, roffle, fr8tdog, you guys really need to look into this......

so catch can suggestions please, and mounting points pleaseeee heellpp...

i was thinking about trying to mount something on the engine hook on top of the thermostat

I'm very interested as well; had a catch can on my Supra Turbo. Unfortunately the only place I can think to mount one in our bays is the area behind the air pump on the exhaust side. It might be possible to clamp on to part of the mount for the round black part in that area, but I'm not looking at the real thing right now.

Getting my car back tomorrow, Thursday!
