Oil catch can question
 
I used to have the saikou michi dual occ setup, but the drain valves stripped so I had to toss em. I'm currently building my own and I was wondering if I could get away with having just 1 can with 2 inlets and 2 outlets. Or for some reason do I need 2 separate cans? Thanks for the help guys and gals

hell you could do a can with one inlet and one outlet and tee the lines if you wanted to

I think the main reason people use two cans is because it is easier to route the lines. I have the M370 intake which already has the lines T'd so I am thinking of installing one occ.

I thought there may be some issues with pressure/flow becoming congested at the T but if thats not the case I may just do it that way. Thanks for the info guys

Just one...

If you're making your own you need to make an AOS and not a CC or its pointless.

Hmm not a huge fan but it might help a little. Oil vapor can still sneak though those in my eyes but its better than nothing.

There is ALWAYS going to be oil vapors unless you're shelling out for something in the -phonic category. I'm also Attaching a fuel filter to the outlet side of the line to catch anything else (like broken steel wool) and to let me see EXACTLY how much oil and nastiness the cans are catching :tup:
