You can also buy an adaptor on Jeggs and run a hose back to the intake off of the Lindsey can.

That is my plan. The idea is not mine Special Tool did years back. Not sure if he is still running this setup.

That's not entirely true. It depends on the attachment at the top -- it can be a filter or a receptacle for a hose and functions as a catch can.

However, I don't like the overall quality of the can, and the placement of it is not as good as for the Saiku product.

Get the Saiku can. It's awesome build quality, and I've never heard any complaints. Plus, both Sean (azmi951) and I know the owner; he's a super stand-up guy.

Here's the only picture of my engine bay I could find; notice the placement of the can -- right over the headers. In this picture I also didn't have the can totally hooked up yet.

Collin, Can you tell us specifically what's wrong with overall quality of our breather tank so I can pass that along to Stef's so they can improve the product?

It looks like they copied our choice of locations, so I don't understand your placement comment either. Can you explain the difference?

Mike Lindsey

After reading your comment a couple more times, and looking at the picture I have concluded that that's our tank on your engine and not the other one? The filter is not ours, so I didn't recognize it if it is our tank. We offer a remote mounted version of our breather tank kit with 3 feet of hose allowing you to put it where you want for those not wanting it mounted on the cam box.

+1, me too

I'm going to install my SM catchcan later today. It's a nice piece.

I am a Saikou Michi user as well. Works well for me.

Got mine a while back, works great and easy to mount. Just google saikou michi.

Is it possible to mount the Lindsey catch can/breather in the space where the washer fluid tank previously was?

Mike Lindsey

Yes. Get the universal kit.

It's the weather. It's just condensation. Our cars aren't used to cold temps, down here.

I have been using a slightly modified Lindsey can for years with great results, just added an "old school" Moroso #68781

I want to do this too, but I'm keeping my stock airbox, so I don't think it'll fit where most people are mounting their Saikoumichi. I'd like to mount it where the power steering reservoir goes - I'm going to be changing to a manual rack and that looks like it would a good use of the stock bracket. I've sent them an e-mail asking if they can make a custom can - if they can't, then I guess I'll make my own.

I appreciate the response! When I bought the car, it had the setup you see in the picture. The PO said that the can was a LR unit, and he also had the filter "head" for the can, but was currently outfitted with the head that can accept a hose. However, the can was, for some reason, not completely hooked up.

My biggest gripe was the location of the can. I like that it's out of the way, but I don't like that it's right over the headers. In order for evaporated oil to re-nucleate, heat is our enemy. I haven't looked myself, but is there a brillo-type material inside the can? The brillo material acts as a great site for the heterogeneous nucleation required for recondensation of the oil. Additionally, I was initially getting some oil residue between the head and the body of the can, as if oil was leaking out of it.


That said, the can appears to be doing a fine enough job that I'm not going to be spending the money on another one. I've made a few simple modifications to the can and how it's oriented so that it's no longer emptying out onto the headers (which are wrapped -- yikes!). For some reason, I think the PO accidentally broke the valve on the bottom so now the can just drains out. Not your fault, but it was something more I had to deal with.

"heterogeneous nucleation" ?!?

Whoa! Triple word score on that one!
