$20 oil catch can - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Bracket to hold can: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Simpson-S...-A33/100374962
Cut one side in half. Grinded the end to fit into the space where the two little holes are on the back of the can(same little holes as the front of the can)
and drilled two holes to mount it to the can. Bent the piece to match angle of firewall and painted it black.

Filter: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-1-4...3HOM/205331767
It's small but I only drive 3-4k miles a year. It looks like it will hold about 2 oz of oil.
They make the exact same thing and bigger, probably like 6 oz size, but I wanted it small.

Nipple to attach hose to can: http://www.lowes.com/pd/BrassCraft-1...tting/50359348
It is very tight just to push it on, so I didn't use any hose clamps

Used two short self taping screw and 2 M4x.70x6 pan phillips machine screws and 4 feet of hose.
I also epoxied the release valve at the bottom shut.

Heck ya! Just what I needed.

Nice. There is one thing missing on this DIY. Can you take a picture and show how the hoses are all properly routed? Your instruction says 4 ft of hose, but I assume you will need to trim them to fit....how long are the hoses supposed to be for each section?

Thanks.

25 inches to intake and 19 inches to PCV on mine. I first had the can mounted. Best bet is to just buy that 4' piece and cut it after that can is done. I connected it to intake and routed it to the can and then cut it. Same as PCV, connect there and route to can, then cut. Depending on where the can is mounted, it will be a slightly different length each time unless you put it in the exact spot I did. Forgot to add about making sure the arrow on top of the can is going in the right direction from PCV to intake.

Where did you get this hose?
Is any kind okay? ie garden hose?
Thanks.

I think you are missing where the oil comes from during WOT.

stevesnj · 12-30-2017, 12:57 PM

I did this years back on my Land Cruiser. I love when guys spend hundreds for a catch can. I LOL

Be careful as over time the plastic can become brittle. I replace mine every few years just for safety sake

No for garden hose. Go to Autozone, Advance Auto, NAPA , Oreillys, etc and get the PCV hose by the foot.

I did not see a 2nd catch can. You put another one in the line that goes to the inlet just after the air filter?

I didn't add the second one as I was under the impression that the PCV was the necessary one. Between the crankcase and intake doesn't catch really anything on a
N/A car According to many people who have dual cans. I might just do it though since it's the same price to do as this one with just different length hoses.

Pretty sure an OCC on the air intake tube breather is pointless unless boosted.

No issues with heat affecting the plastic filter globe?
