Just plumb it straight off your rocker cover breather & mount the the canister where ever you feel the need too!

Easy as!

I had just mounted my "powerade" bottle with a breather/filter straight off the clutch cable & plumbed it on with some food processing reinforced hose.

Worked a treat




Then relocated the whole lot with a bit more stronger moroso billet bottle & breather. Same type of hosing though

Needs to plumb back from the catch can to the air filter on the air intake for it to be legal though.

I was thinking about adding one on the 16v, but was worried (which may well be unfounded) that it will affect the vacuum readings on the ECU.

Only if you vent to atmosphere. Should be OK if you keep it closed circuit.

Not on my car!

Its pre 6/76! No emission required! hahaha

I do it on all my cars except for the VN.


With it plumbed back it can also oil up your intakes & throttles, especially on K-jet cars, so thats why I route it to a catch can & block up the intake so it only gets nice clean filtered air & not filthy oil vapours

so if you're not plumbing it back you just run from the rocker cover to the can then the can to atmosphere, too easy.

cant see the pics at the moment due to work blocking photobucket.
