Catch can from other vehicles

[mecevans]

my neighbor has a 850R volvo which i have been tuning up and it has a pretty well designed catch can system. so i am wondering if it can be used on a supra, or if other car have something more suitable?

From what i understand this one even drains itself once the engine is shut off.

no one ever dare to try this? no ideas?

I dont know why, but it's only been mentioned once or twice before, and I think maybe just one guy tried it. It's really a great idea, and IIRC, some non-Supra guys with turbos have ripped Volvo catch cans off and used them on their cars. I plan on doing this in the future.

i would think it would work. after all it dose the same exact thing as a supra catch can. catches the oil from the pcv air and throws the clean air back into the intake. only question you would have to ask yourself is where should i mount it.

How? on a stock setup it just gets sucked up from the valve covers and sends all that oil straight into the accordion hose to be caked onto everything in the engine.

i have not thought of where to mount it but it wouldn't be obvious to see.
