Anyone know of any good ones or better for the money?

[Mr_P]

I've had a blue one of these upstairs for months and months. Even bought a decent hose as the one you get with it is pap. Never fitted it. lolz.

[TU-Tuning]

yeah the hose is a joke. Theyre usable mate and the modifications you need to do are very cheap so theyre worth buying, a proper one will cost you double that

[jsdvtr]

Ye well the actual tank looks good and can have different colours. Ye the hose seems pretty crap, see through pipe lol.

[adzvtr]

all it does is catch oil, hence the name, mine works with no mods to it, usually its just circulating it back to the inlet which in turn messes up ur air mass sensor, IT DOES THE JOB FINE, no mods needed

[TU-Tuning]

It doesnt do the job fine its wank. The ports are too close together, pressurised gas will always find the simplest route to the exit.

Your telling me that hot vapours are going to wait around in the tank for a bit on their own and liquidise rather than just shoot straight out the outlet port right next to the inlet, and then just leak out of the breather?

They need to be filled with wire wool and hav e either an internal baffle or a means of getting the vapours the bottom of the tank to work properly.

Il will help if the tanks in a cool area too. On the VTS theres a small area in front of the battery that gets cooled by excess cool air which passes over the top of the rad because the fans so big, thats where Ive put mine. Keeps it as cool as possible aiding the process inside

Ben got any pix on where youve mounted yours buddy?

[willsy]

Ive got one and its fitted with no problems

Also fitted the same one to Rushys car last week with no problems too.

The only bit i dont like is the cheap blue hosing but thats easily solved

One of Ben's from one of the other catch tank threads.
I used the search button...

[Sean_VTS]

I need a pic of one on a vts, no need to be a prick about it either mate. Ive looked but havent found what im looking for. If its that much trouble dont bother

[col101]

Dude, you asked Ben for a pic of his car. That's his car.
Anyway, the car is irrelevant, the principle is the same regardless of engine.

[Sean_VTS]

Sorry for snapping mate, thought he had an S engine now. Not so much room in the bay of the S

[col101]

No wories pal. He does now I think.
Some-one has put a pic of an S engine at the top of the page. (ADZVTR second post down)

How could i make one of these and what would i need? I think making one with a red bull can would look mint or something similar.
