HeavyIron Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I realized that after fixing my boost issues, that my car has developed an appetite for oil when I enjoy 25+psi runs. In fact, it has gotten so bad in blowing oil out of the turbo drain line where it enters the block that I am adding 1 quart every 200 miles!!! So in looking at catch cans i looked at several options. I had purchased a Morosso vented catch can, only to realize that a vented can eliminates the vacum needed to properly operate our systems, so back to the drawing board I went. The only alternative I saw was the inexpensive china cans on Ebay that would fit (physical size wise) our applications. Morosso does not make a sealed can that is either small enough or has fittings in the right locations to work. I also wanted a baffled can. So I went to Sublime Speed Technology and I talked to Mike Murphy the owner. For $250.00 he custom fabricated the can you see below. Two baffles dimesnions are 3" wide OD and 6" tall OD (not inc. drain). Light shined in bottom hole so baffle could be seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellsworth Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Very nice, I like the thought you put into this and the fact you didn't just settle for the cheapest alternative available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maciekb2002 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 nice piece ,but $250 for catch can is a little out of control . Do you have pics before it was assembled and welded together ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dongle Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Looks like it could do the job but a bit spendy eh? 42 Draft Designs makes a sealed and baffled can that has similar inlet/outlet. for less than half the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all my searches, I cannot believe I didn't come across them. That is EXACTLY what I was looking for . For a little less money too. Oh well, I will give this one a try. 42 drafts ultimate can is $235 and their stealth is $115.00 and they have next day shipping available. Let's all say it together, it's only money..........

BlackT5 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Hurray for the vacuum-free crew I have a Moroso dual inlet with breather... looks good, works good. Baffled and 1L capacity. I ended up re-plumbing mine cause it got too stinky with the open breather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
