    Dont know about your OCC design but with the JBR one I was surprised at how many revolutions the drain tap needed before it started doing anything. It needed a solid 2-3 turns before anything started coming out.

    Yeah, the jbr drain plug is shit. Mine seized up all the time and eventually broke. Replaced with a ball valve from bunnings and all fixed.

    Yes there is...
    But I've only seen it on big power set ups... Not 100% certain on the benefit

    1 Can for the crankcase breather and 1 for the valve cover. Only really needed when running high boost or tracking your car.

    Mishimoto can arrived today. This is going to be my valve cover solution.

    Mishimoto Compact Baffled Oil Catch Can, 2-Port, by Mishimoto


    It's smaller than I expected but that means it should fit even easier into the spot that I had in mind:





    Just need to fabricate a little bracket and position it so it will be easy enough to unscrew the bottom to empty it out. Also need to pick up some hose, clamps and I will replace the plastic fittings with brass 15mm barbs as well. Should be able to connect it up with very short run hose lengths, the only problem is the inlet and outlet are kinda on the wrong sides so will need to be crossed over but should still look pretty neat if I do it right

    I like the look of this catch can. I might consider it for my PCV one.

    Mishimoto make an excellent larger catch can as well. That might suit a PCV OCC a little better as it's a bit of a pain in the ass to empty.

    OK I went and picked up some brass fittings because the ones that came with the can were plastic, and also too small.

    I am pretty damn happy with the result. Emptying the can is a bit tricky as you need to unscrew the bottom, but can be done easily enough if you remove the plastic covers on the battery and ECU.

    Nice work, looks really clean. I'm keen on doing the same setup. Thanks for posting.

    Good job. Shouldn't need to be emptied very often.
