Red Beast's DIY catch can
 

Many thanks to Matt!

Hey, I'm still looking for a link for a ventui exhaust pipe. I lost my link and after 45 minutes of searching I have given up. Anyway, here is my setup:

hehehe love it.

nice job Robert- you just need a remote purge "switch" so you can dump when the competition is getting too close a la tom slick :eek:

Looks just like mine, though flat black. Cool that you mounted it in the wheelwell. I hate putting more and more crap in the engine bay.

You should try a 0.060" restrictor in your oil feed line, I know I had to use one in my 240sx that was running a t25.

Hopefully that will help your smoking problems.

That's the plan. I ordered a restrictor before but it turned out to be the wrong one for my turbo. Now that I know I need one (or that I know the oil is coming from the turbo) I'll have to get back on it...

Nice work! You've been busy lately!! :bigtu:

looks great!

I really like it, especially that you're keeping the bay less cluttered and the negligible mass as low as possible. How much did all of this run you?

nicely done...between, you, y8s, and braineack I have more projects I want to do than I have time or money for.

When I built mine like his it cost me about $12 because i needed the glue, pipe, fittings, scrubbing pads.

??? The car or the DIY catch can? The can cost me about $10. The car, hmm... I paid $6700 for the car on ebay. Sold the JRSC for $1400, paid $350 for the turbo kit, paid $300 for the wheels/tires, already had the Link ECU but you could say $1000 for it, and sold a bunch of parts off the car. I would think I have less than $8K in the car. It has really been a $0 project from the get go since I got my last red Miata totalled. I paid $10,000 for it but the insurance company gave me $8,500 for it and I sold (believe it or not) around $8,000 in parts off it and Beast while I was stripping her. I've gotten pretty lucky on the cost of some stuff. I paid $6500 for my original white Miata and I am probably still spending that same money (also wrecked, made out good on the insurance money and sale of the car).

Just the catch can, lol.

I wasn't sure, since it lists the cost for the catch can in my write-up. :confused:

i wasn't able to view the link...
cannot display site...

Try www.lightweightmiata.com and select catchcan on the left. Let me know if it works. I remember a while back some guys with Firefox had problems but I made a change to my frames and it fixed it.

original link worked fine w/ firefox here

i think its this computer, i'm at work and they have a firewall that doesn't allow certain things... (maybe some explicit material, lol...)

Whoops, missed it, sorry. :inout:

Those tires and wheels in the video are Bad-A:eek: , and only for 300?
