It will have 3 -10an fittings welded on, which 2 of them will go to your valve cover and one back into the factory return.

Let us know what you guys think.

Id like something smaller and simplier.

2.5" AL pipe
cut a slit down 90% of the length
put a divider in the slit
weld it up, and put a bottom on it
put stainless steel in bottom (maybe even a drain)
3/8" nipple inlet and outlet on the top

I would only need one with 1 or 2 ports.. Do Hondas have bigger engine bays then us? I always thought they were similar but it seems they have more room front to back..

I would like something that mounts towards the drivers side shock tower, Even with Turbo piping I have extra room there.

i am on the verge of making one of these and i dont mind sharing my idea,

i am making one that serves 2 purpose, it will be a catch can and coolant reservoir all in one in the coolant reservoir location, currently my custom aluminum coolant reservoir is about 3 quarts but i figure i only need 1 quart for coolant, and the rest should be sufficient as a catchcan. i think if this was made for the public and was mounted in the stock coolant reservoir area it would be a big plus.

with that being said i am currently pricing out the material to build my own and i will say that if mazworx made this i dont think they can make it cheap enough for everyone to be happy but it would be an awesome product

I plan to make my own catch can out of 1/8" aluminum plating, Four -8AN aluminum weld on fittings two at the back and two at the front, two larger breather filters on top, and it will mount where my distributor used to be right over the coolant pipes. These cans should not be that much to make in all honesty. Its a simple rectangle design, material for the can is less than $60 plus time to weld the box together, drill and weld in the fittings and pipe or pipes on top to attach a filter to. T1 sells their catch cans for roughly 350 bucks I believe as well as one from BlueRidge Motorsports about the same price.

All said and done welded and all by a local shop, Ill have about 100 bucks into the can total it will use the bolts for the coolant pipes/thermostat housing to head bolts to mount. Clean, simple, and will make my breather lines really short without running all over the bay. BTW, gonna do a nice hardline breather line setup. Mmmmm
