Saikou Michi dual catch can Build and Review!!!
 

One of the most important things to me is engine cleanliness and maintenance. When choosing a dual catch can setup for my soon-to-be turbo FRS I wanted something that would not stick out like a sore thumb but would look nice and clean and in harmony with the engine bay (It HAD to be MADE for the car, no universal mounts for me thank you!). Of course the cans had to work great as well. I'd heard many Good reviews on the Saikou Michi catch cans and upon investigating their website found that they looked ridiculously good and were engineered masterfully including easy to drain valves, holes to prevent suction of oil in cans and internal baffles with mesh grills to increase surface area and augment oil extraction from blow by gasses. Unfortunately they only had a single can set up for our cars. I Immediately contacted them and explained my dilemma. They answered back rather quickly and excitedly told me that they would love to create one for me and manufacture these dual catch cans for the frs/brz. After a day or two they emailed be back saying that they had made the necessary research to fabricate them. So I gave them my go ahead for the project and handed over my money. A few hours later they sent me some design sketches of what they intended to do (would love to post them cause they look awesome but they are pdf versions :( ) I also asked them to post up pictures of the build process so I could share it with you guys. They just emailed me today that they had begun the manufacturing process (pics in their blog):

:party0030: enjoy!!!

I cant wait for them to send me the cans so I can Install them. I will then give my review on how they look fit, look and function.

Thanks Saikou Michi!!!

EDIT: Just noticed the sketches are on the first picture of the blog :)

ehhh

Its good to know he is working on this.
I do have a DC3, I bought it for my Evo IX (RIP) but never had the chance to installed it .. Excelent quality and service.

Already on its way! Woot!

I don't see a dual design by the drawings, an inlet and an outlet. Am I missing something?

What do you mean, theres two cans lol. Both are designed differently. I have one sketch for crank side and another design for the breather side. The two cans get welded together

I already have them for our car. Got them about 2 weeks ago. Did you get the ubolt mounts that connect to the factory bars?

ok just saw the blog couldnt look at it on my work cpu. That exactly what I have only 2 differences. I went atmospheric on the intake side since that is where you get the most blow by and there was no point in routing it back to anywhere. Also I didnt have mine welded together because eventually when a decent brake booster comes out I will be moving one can to the other side so that you dont have to run vacuum line so far.

My bad.

Which strut bar is it meant to be mounted on?

Well he made them so the nipples would be facing the firewall so as to make the cleanest setup possibles without having hoses all over the place. Wait arent long hoses preferable? I mean it gives more surface area to precipitate oil droplets.

It goes on the right, next to the battery with plenty of space to drain easily.

This is for LHD then?

Yes, but he works custom so he can always draw up a new design. All his products are made to order... There is no "stock".
