Default greddy oil catch can

So I was wondering where everyone got their Greddy oil catch can from and how they mounted it. I see that Greddy makes a bracket for it, just didnt know if it would work or not. And I think the plastic hoses that come with it look like junk, so I was also wondering where people got their braided hoses and connections from. Thanks guys for all your help.

hoses dont really matter, its only air passing though the tube, so a rubber line in fine. i have a weapon-r catch can, and i mounted it under the intake and i used the intakes mounting bracket to hold the catch tank

i agree with you, but it will catch some from an NA engine, not much at all though. and yes for me it was for show. it add's another shinny tank under the hood

Ya they are awesome and serve a purpose so its the best of both worlds. Now I just have to find a place to buy it for cheap. The greddy website has them for $110 I beileve but people say they have picked them up for $85. And where could I get those anodized fitings? I know they come with red ones... but im picky and want blue lol

Sciondad (I think that's the member name) did one a long time ago, do a search for that thread. It looked nice, but I'm not sure if he removed it due to the ZPI Turbo setup.

Ya he still has it, he put it on the firewall and painted the red anodized fitings blue to match his car. I think that this is what im gonna be doing. Thanks guys for all your help, now I just gotta find a place to pick it up.

Ok i got one last question. I am planning on going turbo in the future but i have to decide on placement now. This way when i order the catch can i get the right length of hose. So do you guys have any idea on placement or length?

hose is cheap. so put it when u can now, and when u ge tthe turbo, worry about mounting it then, and buying more hose.

allright i figured it all out except there are no pictures of how to install the thing. I guess one hose comes off (on the top driver side of the engine) and then another one on the beck of the engine where the intake manifold is. But i see the catch can with three nipples on it for hoses... whats up with that. Also what would i do to the spots where i took the hoses off from.

look at ScionDad's engine bay as well. This is how I have it mounted. It is up to you to figure out how though.
