. I know the outlet hose could have been routed behind the stock fenderwell bracket. However, I know that a very small amount of oil finds it's way into the intake, despite the can. Because of this, I didn't want to pitch the outlet hose down where pooling could happen. There is a service splice in each line above the intake. I know it would be a cleaner install without, but don't care.

I like your install.

Will you be able to run with the engine cover on or have you permanently removed it?

Thanks Nomad. I've not had the cover on for a while. I figure it was a cosmetic thing for potential buyers, but it also holds in heat. I will admit the cover does hide a lot of functional things that some would rather not see. Had the cover been used, not only would the catch can hoses have needed more thought and likely length, but so would the Vararam clean air hose. There may be some changes made to the install, but I needed to get this installed for the work week.

Yep, I must admit, it looks good.

There are some differences, but only on the hose connections. Same bolt-on set-up.

The rear connects to the top fitting and the side of the can connects to the intake (behind the TB).

I would like to see this done with an E-Force sc. I bought this can and need to get it installed.

The back of the engine to the top of can and the tb port to the side can. sound about right? How long should i go before checking to see if it is collecting oil? Thanks for everyones help.

Give it 100 miles and see what you have. Once you determine how much your engine is running through you can adjust. Ideally you should be able to go thousands of miles before "having" to empty.

Do NOT connet the TB port to any catch can....that is your frsh make up air source for the crankcase! The outlet of the can should be connected to the vacuum nipple in the passenger side of the intake manifold snout. Double check to make sure!!!

I think it is hooked up correctly, just described differently. Pretty sure he hooked the can up were the stock line was completely removed from both ends. At least I hope that's it.

Awesome

I was assuming that was the case and SC2150 was just looking out for you.

The Elite catch can can't be mounted on the passenger side with an E-Force S/C.
I made a bracket from 3/16" aluminum. Installed it on the stud from the stock air cleaner. See pic:
