    Default $20 Oil catch can

    This is in process on my G8. Literally $20 worth of parts, and a visible oil catch can is yours.

    I'm amazed at how similar the mods/issues are for the Infiniti/350/370 Z owners and us. They have thin paint, we have thin paint, they're doing catch cans, we're doing catch cans.

    I built one and it's been working great.... for the few days I've been running it. There's already oil in it!

    I tried finding my receipts but was unable to do so.

    1- Kobalt Air Compressor general purpose filter
    2- 3/8 to 1/4 threaded barbs
    7ft- 3/8" fuel line

    Disconnect stock PCV line, cut the 3/8" fuel line into two pieces, run one to the rear of the drivers side intake, and one to the back of the throttle body. It's pretty much that easy, now just find a place to mount your can and voila, you're done.
