Wiggins3377's 40th Anniversary Z

Wiggins3377 · 06-30-2013, 04:28 PM

Had a few hiccups, but I finally installed my Top Secret Catch Cans and grounding kit. I had to drill a new hole in my engine bay for the driver side catch can, but in the end I love the way they look!!! Thanks to Zuperman 370 for dealing with my constant messages and questions over the past few weeks. I'm ordering some red vacuum tubing tomorrow for the cans. I also think I may be ordering the TS engine cover real soon

. As for the grounding wires... I can't say enough about Simota's work, very, very happy with the results.

Sorry for the crappy iPhone pic.

digging the look.

so what exactly does the oil catch can do? prevents oil from getting sucked through your throttle body right? and where did you relocate your fuse box? how difficult is the install? any modification/relocation needed besides the fuse box?

I've never seen a 2013, but i believe your setup is different due to the breather hose setup. That said as long as the mounting points are the same you should be fine with the aftermarket reservior. It doesnt even have an inlet for the breather hose so it gets deleted. In its place there is a small hole drilled in the cap.

The catch cans keep oil vapor from going back into the manifold, more of a prolonging the engine type of mod. In the case of the Top Secret cans you have to relocate the fuse box just below the OEM point with zip ties. However there are other threads on the forum in which members didnt do this.

The cans are Top Secret i bought them used from a forum member, but good luck finding any of these for sale. They are very hard to come by. That said several other vendors have them, Mishimoto comes to mind check out their site, plus they would match the polished aluminum look
