I also have the perrin catch can, its ok. It does come with all necessary mounting equipment like vacuum tube. But a bonus is some spongy strips to fill the can with. Im not sure but would this catch the blow by? I think the idea of a partition is a good one, I may pop it off and jbweld some lexan about 4 inches deep. It also has a level tube tied in from t op to bottum so you can see oil level. Ive had it on for a week, cars two weeks old and so far nothing. Overall i like it

If this is the case, it would be a good idea to do a mod (sucks that you have to)
This is the general idea:
line IN ------->######CONDENSING MESH#######--------> line OUT

Well, they do include enough of the strips to fill the catch can. It just seems that if the oil is condensed into air it may stilljust suck right from one input into the other bypassing the catch can. I decided to leave it alone for now and in a few more weeks Ill pop the top and see what the insides look like. Thx Saikou

I have the cusco catch can hooked up with just one hose from valve cover to catch can, the other barb has nothing attached to it(no hose), the stock hose that came off valve cover is capped off. The cusco hose was to big so I had to go to home depot and get some vinyl hose to come off valve cover and then the cusco hose slid over the home depot hose. SOme guy was telling me that catch cans on some motors are not good and will cause damage(especially in the 4g63 lineup of motors)-is there any fact to this? Anybody Know how to empty the cusco can by the way? The sight glass is clear-no oil in it yet but it hasn't been that long since I installed it. I would wait till the sight glass is showing oil, take can out, and then how would I get the oil out? Thanks in advance for the help.
