JDL Auto Design VTA Catch Can / Mini Battery Kit
 

Built a prototype for my personal car awhile back for the Modified Magazine Shootout...We've had some people ask over the months and now that we are getting caught up with a lot of old work around the shop i thought i would revisit and revise these.

Production cans will be powder coated Texture black. We can also do custom colors on the cans and hardware upon request. (pricing may vary.)

That's actually pretty sick!

that is pretty awesome !!

is it possible to get this zinc plated instead?

Its not something we have looked into before. Powder coat, anodizing, or paint is usually what we offer due to the color/finish options and affordability. I can check on pricing process ect and let you know if its cost effective

Did this ever end up making it to production?


Edit: I'm an idiot, I read your Join Date as the posting date.... Looking forward to seeing a release date however.

Thanks, if not, I can have it donw here. Will you sell it in the same form you have it in right now?

They can be built right now. I'd like to get a groupbuy together for 10 of them to be able to drop the price down a bit if there is interest!

Yes that is no problem.

I'm very interested. What type of price are you thinking? Feel free to pm me

#2 here. Have you posted in the group buy section yet?

No i haven't yet...was just really trying to gauge interest first. I can get a post together today.

Any pictures of the inside of the can? Is that a vent on top of the can or is it sealed?

I didn't take any before but i will on the next can. It is fully baffled. The can is vented. Both the top logo and front logo are the vents. They can be easily removed to change the filter element over time.

I didn't see the filter behind the logo as well. Very nice setup.

right on, I'll be on the look out.

Sending the can off to get coated tomorrow. Have some more detailed shots once it's back

I didn't realize the logos are vents, thats awesome. I'd love to see a picture of the inside.

Can you shoot me a quote on the priceing? Truth be told I'd probably prefer it left raw, although after seeing it coated I may change my mind.

Definitely interested.

Like the design, As I do with most of your products. I may have missed it but are the filters cleanable or just a replacement filter?

Very interested indeed !

Quick Question.

In order to empty the can, do you have to remove the entire can+battery assembly?

If you look close you can see a threaded drain port on the bottom of the can. You can drain it in or out of the car :thumbsup:

They are reusable

Interested pending price.

Very interested!

Damn, this is rad!

would be all over this but I fear the small battery will give me hell during the winter.. meh.

Nah, I have a small batt and lived thru three winters in Massachusetts with no issues.

My car chugged trying to start the past few days and that's with a bigger battery. As long as I could be ok with a smaller one, I'd be interested in this setup.

it's not the size of the battery that matters, it's the CCAs. This battery has higher CCAs than our stock battery does, so I wouldn't worry too much.

:bonk:

forgot about that. Thanks for clearing my brain fart lol

haha np man, just looking out for the community :w00t:

any updates?

Got the can back today. We will have battery specs pricing and group buy pricing. Working out the final cost as the production pieces will be CNC laser cut and bent.

Some more detailed shots of the can and vents. We have a few more color options as far as washers go too
