Sorry to burst your bubble, but that catch can does NOTHING over there.

Your catch can's on the hot side of your engine (headers)

Oil won't condence in that heat. Should be on the other side. Im sure Shaeff will chime in here!

Other wise looks nice!!!!!

and what does a catch can do..i could never figure it out. i did some searching but it got me nowhere.

Oil gets into the vacuum system and you obviously don't want that. So the catch can is exactly what it sounds like, if you have it on the intake side of the engine, then the oil can condense and it'll collect in the catch can. If it's on the exhaust side then it'll stay a vapor and keep travelling through the vacuum system and probably collect in the intake piping and get sucked into the intake mani or if you have a metal intake, burn. Also it's better to run the catch can than breathers cause you might end up with quite the mess on yours hands having oil shot all over the place...:3d_frown:

ohhHHhHHh. so whats wrong with the stock system?

 

[supra90turbo]

Stock PCV system just pulls the vapors from the crankcase and into the intake ducting. You then get a nice oily film over everything on the inside of the intake ducting.
