Coolest Oil Catch Can

skidad62

I'm new to 370Z's - is this only for boosted Z's? I had a previous supercharged car (not my Z) with big boost that I put catch cans on.

Bought one for the driver's side then made the 2nd one for the passenger side.

Would this type of can work or do they need to hold vacuum on a Z?

My homemade catch can...

1 stainless steel water bottle (Walmart)
1 K&N 2" base filter w stainless steel top
5/8" brass garden hose coupler
JB Weld
5/8" hose
Stainless steel fasteners
2" aluminium strapping
Steel wool (placed inside to ensure no oil blows to the top and thru the filter)

Picked a water bottle with a top OD that matched the K&N filter I had laying around.
Drilled the side of the bottle to insert the brass garden hose coupler.
JB welded the coupler to the bottle.
Hooked up to the valve cover outlet
Mounted up the bottle with the strapping



Before...


After!



You can see the Moroso tank & filter on the driver side - pretty close with the homemade - primary visual difference is the shape of the filters









Worked out great on this application at 22 lbs of boost. Very secure and fitment was excellent.
