Default Greddy 15mm Oil Catch Can Install

Hello Everyone,

let me start by saying that most of you think there is no way it will fit, well it did. after looking the engine bay for a while. I decided the spot where I was going to put it, not this can is much larger than the squar type.

I would like to say, the reason why I place it there was because of the JWT system leaves no room for anything.

The oval shap of this can is a pain!

But after work today I tackled it and its good.

Items Needed:
  • 4ft of .5" tubing
  • Ties
  • Flat head screw driver

-----------------------

Steps:
  • Remove Strut bar 14mm
  • Engine Cover 10mm
  • DBW assembly 10mm
  • Place the catch can up-right (after reinstalling the DBW assembly it will hold it in place.
  • install one side of the tube on the right inlet of the can, tie it firmly. and run the tube along the spark coils till you reach the manifold pipe.
  • Cut the tube with a knife (or what ever sharp tool you got) give it some slack
  • then the rest is commen sense.


Thats basically it, reassemble everything. shouldn't take more than 30 minutes (no power tools used)

My car is in paint & I will post up my installation of the Greddy catch can in a different location in the 350Z, when my baby is back home. I have the square catch can, we had to fab up a bracket, thank God I have a Nismo CAI.

I truly looked damn hard at the firewall for a mounting point, thought better of the idea in the end. How do you check the oil level in your mounting location???

The JWT kit has a pipe right there.

There is no good place for a vertical catch can with the jwt kit. You can fit one underneath the air filter, but it will be hidden from view.

I can't put one in the back by the firewall because like Nexx, my FPR for my CJM return fuel system sits right there as does the 5AT tranny dipstick.

Long thin and horizontal is the only way to go...

Yeah, it's hard to find a good place to mount a standard catch can. So I ended up going with a smaller home-made unit instead.
