Oil Catch Tank
Discussion

Just bought one from Forge Motorsport to keep the airbox clean. Looks good and fits perfectly to the engine bay. Checked if it is legal in a road registered car as well. Pictures will follow.
Anybody installed one as well? If so, does it have the expected effect?

Would be interested in this as well.
You can pick up some cheaper items from the Jap tuners, ran a Greddy one in the supra that I picked up for quite cheap. Never thought of putting one in the Tuscan.
Makes sense though as there always seems to be quite a lot of oil in the breather pipe.

After fairly thorough testing I found it bubbles up at high revs above 6k, and can sometimes be enough to make the engine stutter and blow puff of smoke out of the exhaust. If it's excessive (on mine, happens if oil tank is near max on dipstick) it also causes pinking/detonation which is obviously a bad idea and ought to be avoided. The dry sump tank does have a mesh baffle to reduce this, but it doesn't avoid it entirely.
So with my occasional track use as well, at low cost I fitted a K&N breather on mine instead of the pipe to airbox, but it does produce a small patch of oil film below it. A separate catch tank is ideal as it would avoid that.
Finally, apart from organizing the correct hoses, I installed the tank:
What you get from Forge plus sticker (apart from the custom made bracked and some stuff from the hardware store that is...):
That thing is beatifully craftet as far as I can tell. We manufactured some other conectors, since the original ones had a too small diameter fo my liking. Just for the look and keeping the original hose diameter.
After attaching the brackets:
And finally it´s place in the engine bay, which let´s it somehow look really professional and as if it left the factory like that. Some adaption needed for the engine cover, though. Problem now is to find some pre-formed hoses with the correct curve. A regular one will bend.
