Oil seperator/catch can placement.

[ulev1st]

For those who want to go the route of installing a seperator/catch can I found a simple solution that worked well for me..it might not be for everybody though. I bought a piece of 1 inch x 1/8 inch strap steel at Home Depot and cut it to lenght and fabbed up a cheap and easy mounting bracket for the can. It attaches to the front timing cover bolt on the passenger side just below the valve cover. Just a couple of simple 90 degree bends and drill three holes. The reason I located it there was it was out of the way....I could easily access it to drain when necessary and I was able to reuse one of the factory hoses removed during the Whipple install to make it look a little more factory and a little less of an add on afterthought. As you can see I am missing the hose end that attaches to the bottle but it will be here in a few days. I was going to go a different route with a different hose and ended up with a 90 where I need a straight. so...in a couple of days I will add the hose end and the job will be complete.

Looks great. Where did you purchase can. I want one for my auto trans vent.

It's a Moroso piece...about $75...I got it from my local retailer...but they are available on line thru e bay and from Jegs or Summit for about the same price.

Great job... I also installed a Moroso can, but went a different route on the mounting point. I chose to mount to driver's strut tower (to minimize the hose distance to PCV valve). Had to drill one hole (you'll see a hole that was already there.. but was too far forward on strut tower.. so I drilled one farther back). Bought a T-strap @ Home Depot (79cents), and sprayed a few coats of high-temp black gloss paint. I chose this T-strap as the hole-pattern aligned perfectly with the Moroso clamp hole patterns (3.5" if I recall correctly). If you look closely, the Moroso can is mounted to the two upper holes on strap... and the lower hole was used to mount to strut tower. Used a few rubber washers for spacing. The one-hole mount works out good as it allows the T-strap to "flex" when the engine torques (to alleviate stress on the hoses). With the steel braided hoses, it's really solid. Didn't want to mount to the CAI heat shield.

Hey how did you get the AN fitting on the cam covers?

If the question was directed to my install, I think you're talking about the PCV valve and the intake inlet? If so, on those ends, the -10AN braided racing hose fits nicely (with a little encouragement) directly on these fittings (PCV valve and intake inlet). The blue connectors you see are 13/16" (or -10AN) hose clamps (Earl's PN 900210). The other ends of each hose (which connect to the Moroso separator tank) are Swivel-Seal hose ends (a little tricky getting these bad boys over the braided hose.. but Earl's actually has an instruction video on cutting braided hose and mounting hose ends!). Here are the links so you can get a better view of the connectors and clamps:

If you go with a Moroso, (which comes with -12AN male fittings), you'll also need two reducers (-12AN Female to -10AN Male).

Looks good! I also have the Moroso can, but I mounted mine on the CAI heat shield.
