Oil Catch Can

Just finished installing a BMS Oil Catch Can and I was surprised as to the amount of oil in the tubes already. Have to say, super easy mod!

More than I expected. I could actually wipe out the top breather hose as there was a "wetness" all around the seal.

I have a pic but no place to post yet.

Correct! I picked mine up from BMS and it was really easy.

I have the Bms one on my car, full bolt on car running meth and 18 psi with lots of track use (at least 800 miles with the catch can on).

Catch can is completely empty. I would spend your money elsewhere. These cars don't need them, or at least mine does not.

How do you drive? Do you take short trips? Or long ones where the engine gets to operating temps?

Little bit of both. My daily commute is 20+ miles each way.

Track and some weekend driving, usually car will do 700 miles on a track weekend including commute, so figure 200-250 miles of track use, wot, lots of sustained 1g plus turns. If it's not getting oil in the can under those conditions I can't imagine when it would. Operating temp, oil usually 225-240 on track, I also run a thicker oil so that may have an effect.
