Please post your catch can locations
So with less and less space available in my engine bay with the Rotrex system and my GotPSI? intake manifold I am running out of places to mount a catch can. Can you please post up photos of where you mounted yours and what kind of can it is. I may weld something up but OTS is always easier.
Tnx

I have mixed feelings about the slashcut, I havent seen any evidence that its shape could even manage to cancel out the backpressure of the exhaust.
Although I do see the beauty in not having a filter to clog or having to empty it of oil and such.

But if you consider the fact that you get all the benefit of an atmospherically vented crankcase system, with none of the BS of a catch can, it is still win.

Slashcuts are specifically outlawed in the SCCA GCR.
My catch can is located where the washer fluid tank would normally sit, but I am actively changing that part of the car right now. Eventually I'll probably do a separator system with a sump drain and some sort of vacuum pump.

Sav... I'm considering blocking off the pass port and drilling out the drivers side to accept a larger AN fitting. How do you have yours wired? I've noticed a lot of oil in the can after track days (solid thick oil... not blowby I know the diff.) and want to help eliminate it. How are you getting around the oil out the pass port on left turn issues?

Oil holding tanks and engine breathers, whether directly or indirectly
ventilating the crankcase, and all transmission/transaxle breathers shall
be equipped with oil catch tanks. Minimum catch tank capacity shall be
one U.S. quart for the engine and transmission/transaxle. Oil holding tanks
and oil filters may be mounted in the driver/passenger compartment. A
metal bulkhead shall prevent exposure of the driver to oil spillage. Oil
catch tanks shall vent into the engine compartment or outside the driver’s
compartment. A crankcase vacuum breather that passes through the oil
catch tank(s) to exhaust systems or vacuum devices that connect directly
to exhaust systems is prohibited.
Did not read that until now. From experience I can say I don’t believe it is any more of a fire hazard if your engine lets go. It does make one hell of a smoke screen however as it significantly reduces the amount of oil that gets laid on the track. I guess to be SCCA legal Id just put a breather on the end of my slash cut hose and let it drip on the ground.
I’m also pretty sure most the breathers sold are not the minimum required one quart.
