Hi all, Has anyone installed an oil catch can for the A110? Would love to see some photos.

This isn't an RB26 or a diesel it isn't going to give any better performance, it adds weight, it has to be cleaned (if it works at all) and if it doesn't have to be cleaned, why is it there? Change my mind.

Perhaps it’s to run cleaner combustion? I.e. by not having oil vapour from the valve train area being piped into the intake as is OEM for emissions reasons?

well that's the theory but without a big boost increase on stock I don't think there is ring blow-by to make much pressure in the crank case, and the oil vapour should be insignificant otherwise you'd be witnessing oil consumption over time. They do sell them in pretty alloy colours though.

I’ve not [yet] felt the need.
I did on my tuned DC2, back in the day.
