Catch can

[Surfdog SS]

What's everyone go to catch can for centrifugal sc setups? Can they still mount to the radiator or do you have to use another location? Also how did you plumb it? Did you do aftermarket valve covers? Any pics would be awesome and appreciated. Trying to get a few ideas on how to do it, my ecs kit came with a vent cap and a tiny jegs filter I would like to replace it and maybe add a little cosmetic changes to the engine bay.

Which direction does your cold piping run (potential can installation interference)? On the drivers or passenger side?

Not a centri and not sure if this may help or not; but I have tried several options. Right now, I have two Mighty Mouse catch cans being vented out of the rear of some billet Motion Raceworks valve covers (the primary mounted on the passenger side radiator and the other on a fabricated aluminum mount where the window wash tank used to be mounted). Originally, I had the OEM valve covers venting out the oil fill cap and another small AGP can for the driver's side valve cover port. That worked decent (good for venting crankcase pressure, not so good for extreme braking/turning). I tried the "new" BTR valve covers that have ports on the front and back of the covers (they look good but didn't quite match up for my use). Those are for sale now.

Cold piping comes up the passenger side. That looks great did you have to cap anything off

Not with these Motion valve covers. I do (and had) the valley plate vent already plugged. These valve covers don't have anything other than the oil fill and rear -12AN vents to tap into. The OEMs I had the front passenger side capped as the oil fill was the vent. In this setup I do need to T-split the PCV (vacuum) part (connected to the passenger side, behind the throttle body) going to the passenger MM can for the driver's side MM can (the driver's side has my Rife IAT fast acting sensor installed). I do see a little vapor emanating from the driver's side can when cold (to make this a true PCV setup versus a one side PCV, the other draft).

Are you saying that you want to t off the intake vacuum to both catch cans?

I am limited as to where I can tap vacuum for the 2nd can. It'll likely halve the air pull from each can but hopefully that'll be enough to keep the vapors in line. Before, I didn't have the small AGP 2nd can as PCV but I want to try and make this setup both PCV cans.

I am just curious because I have mine running with the mishimoto one and it is basically still like the stock configuration just a catch can in between the drivers side valve cover and the intake manifold. But I don't really like it because of how it dirties up the one head. I forget which one gets dirty though.
