So I got an ARC Oil Catch tank (thanks Brian at Mackin). Incredible quality, workmanship on the piece. Before I installed it, I installed my Motordyne Iso Thermal 5/16" spacer. So naturally I was baffled and saying to myself W T F!!! when I couldn't install the damned oil catch tank. The directions werent too clear and I couldn't tell what hose went to where, the pictures werent that good either. And I think the hoses supplied were short, needless to say I was pissed that the most expensive oil catch can didnt come with the necessary hoses? ! ? ! Basically, Im asking for a little help and yes I did use the search function. Who has installed this and if you have pictures it would greatly help. Can you provide a step by step outline as to where the hoses connect, I have the bolt/bracket on that holds the tank in place already. Thanks.

 

Definitely ARC needs to work on their instructions because they suck. I received your pm, but I did the install so long ago I dont remember sorry

 

Altered Atmoshpere modified the arc can and put all the correct size hoses in their kit. It was a little more than just buying the can, but if i need one, this will be the one i get. It should be on the website.

 

usually you end up having to get longer hoses...

 

Essentially, the PCV and Breather hoses get tee'd into a single hose that attaches and clamped to the inlet side of the can. Additionally the top hat holes need to be capped. (AAM welds them up) and a new thru port needs to be welded to the opposite side of the can which requires a hose to it which comes off an engine vac port..The vac port sucks the vapors into the can. Without it the oil can is at atmospheric pressure and doesn't collect oil vapors and will make your cabin smell of oil..

 

How come all the catch can hoses are the same type of hose, as on a spra y nozzle in a kitchen sink?

For $230 I would expect a lot better hose than that.
