^ is that an AVO kit? looks pretty neat

i mounted my old catch can next to the battery... dont see why your pod filter will be in the way unless ur hooking your catch can all wrong..

Isnt this catch can hooked up wrong?

[EKVTIR-T]

Why you think that lol?

yeah it is actually
looks like its just hooked to the breather

need to hook it to the one from the manifold to block

block the manifold one off and run the hose from the block to a can with a breather... ur manifold has boost pressure in it now rather then only vacuum

[bennjamin]

yup you are right

Correct location for a "Catch can" is from this

(back of block) PCV ===========(rubber pipe)========intake manifold

to this

(back of block) PCV ===========oil catch can========intake manifold

It is there to "filter" the oil blowby back into the intake manifold. There shouldnt be too much.

lucky i started this thread if not that catch can would of been installs incorrect for a long time lol

My car is a 96 EK1 Civic d16y4.I have the Cusco catch can also.I drilled 2 holes in the firewall then mounted the Catch can.Bought some hose.It runs from yellow to yellow and green to green.Where the hose goes through the Intake Manifold it connects onto the PCV valve.
The stock set up has the hose connected from the PCV to the IM,so you have to get ya hand down under the IM and puul the old hose off and connect the new hose,then run that to the Catch can.The other hose from the Catch can to the IM:


We gots da same engine me and U Frankie! give me a PM anytime,about anything
