eBay Oil Catch Cans...

VegasM2 · 04-11-2011, 03:59 AM

anyone ever try one...i know there are a lot of cheaper products for sale on eBay but a catch can seems to be a pretty simple device.

thanks in advance

I been looking for one aswell, I would get the one with biggest inlet/outlet piping to avoid flow restriction, get rid of that little window tubing to avoid leaks and Defermently use heavier duty hoses than they provide.

I was looking to buy this one that they have one with 15mm "nozzle"

Hmm, interesting. Building a CC is not rocket science, so these might be a feasible alternative to the 250-350 units we see for sale for our car.

I've used the one in the first link on one of my prior cars and it worked quite well, the clear tube/gauge will eventually leak and I did get heavy duty hoses of the same diameter from the auto store. Worth a shot.

That's just a Riss Racing catch can knock off. Or maybe RR's was the knock off. Either way, it leaks.

if you get something cheap, and it doesn't flow enough, there are some seals that can be ruined on your engine. I would make sure i purchased one with some proven results.
