That unit is pretty small. Doesn't look like much of a separator design either. Serious units will be 3+ liters of volume.

At $55 I'd pass.

3 liters?????? How much blow by do you have? The LR unit we have on the track car, barely gets a couple of tablespoons in a weekend, it might hold a bit more than a quart barely.

Lots. Make that "lots and lots" but that's another issue.

Actually that looks pretty good size. Hard to see but near 4x12? The one from eBay looks about 3" by 6".

Hmmmm...now might be a good time to install one of these since my intake/turbo/aos are all out right now. Any other opinions on this ebay unit?

I did a search, and it seems like a fairly straight forward install. Run one hose from the top of the AOS to the can, then another hose from the can to the jboot. Do you plug the old hose that used to connect to the top of the AOS?

Is that 15mm hose they supply with the catch can the correct size for the top of the AOS and the jboot connection?

The old plumbing as seen in my pic below has two other smaller hoses running w/ it. Do I remove all that and run completely new hoses (to the hard pipe banjo bolt and the smaller jboot port), or keep the old plumbing as is?

i went ahead and ordered the L/R unit...it seems that most people either use this one or build their own and i am looking for a more finished look like the can in skis car from lindsey racing.

The hose they have pictured doesn't like heat much so don't plan on using that to run from the top of the AOS.

Does the LR unit tie back into the jboot?

David
Is that the part number for the cap that will fit on the LR can? Also is it best to run the hose full circle back to the J pipe and not stop at the catch can?
Thanks

Yes on the part number and IMHO yes on routing back to the j-pipe.

Thank you Ski
