Bob's Auto Sports' - New Oil/Air Separator "Catch Can"

[UnleashedBeast]

Just took a 250 mile round trip. Bob's "Steve's" oil separator accumulated 1/4 tablespoon of oil. I used a medicine cup to measure the amount, and it's about the same volume as the first time I tested it.

Seems the average is about 1/4 tbsp per ~200-250 miles.

I just got the fitting in the mail today, and will be installing it tomorrow. Will have an updated picture for you then.

Oh, and a huge thanks goes out to Steve for sending one out to me. :rockon:

His customer service is so good....if Van decided to go into the CNC machine business...we would call him Steve. lol

Any weekend progress on this?

I just ordered the hose and fittings. Should be here sometime this week. My weekends are pretty tied up with kids so it may be a 2 - 3 weeks before I get to it.

 

[UnleashedBeast]

Here is the picture I promised. You can see that the 45* fitting allows for a shorter hose while cleaning up the appearance.

and with the 90* fitting, a much longer hose length is required.

hahaha, That's why the Revan/Bob's combo works so well. Van and I did some "schemehatchery" on new products yesterday. My machining and his car knowledge = better parts for the industry! :rolling::rolling:

The 45* fittings do look so much better, glad you guys convinced me to do the change.

That's why we are all here, to share ideas improving things for better form and function. :beer:

Mount location

Beast or "Bob" (Steve),

I noticed that the mount hole where you have it only has 1 ground attached to it...my 2012 has 2 ground wires there and the brakcets would be going across the second one...Just curious if this is still going to work. If you look real close at the post by 1 Alibi you can see the "front" ground wire where you dont have one. Am I still going to be okay? would I shift it to the front ground hole? Help the glowing fool out...

Yes, just mount it in the front location with the two straps. The supplied bolt is long enough.

It won't push the can too far out towards the valve cover? Need to know before Van calls back and I order one.

You should have plenty of clearance. If there is an issue, Steve will rectify the situation by sending you a short mounting bracket.

Thanks for the pics. Just picked one up via Mr. Van.

Keep up the good work Steve!!

i've never been a big fan of the faux carbon fiber, but those look good!
any plans to powder coat some cans in wrinkle black?

 

[NuclearPower]

I also just ordered one from Van. Hope it works better than the JLT. I'll post up what I get from Bob's since I accumulate miles faster than Beast.:rockon:

Here's my set up on a KR with KB 2.8 with your catch can installed. Close fit in engine bay..

 

[Steve@BAS]

^^looks awesome! Im currently in Miami for boat show, day job, ill work on shorter bracket next week. Anyone in south fl that comes to boat show, visit me in booth k64. Anyone with questions or concerns can always PM or call me, or send word via Van the man. Thanks all.

Great jdea going with the 45 degree fitting. Is that what all cans will come with now or is that a special request?

You would be a much better candidate to test it than I am. My car is only driven about 5,000 miles a year.

After looking at fcettner's installation pics, it looks like the 90* can be made to look better than how I used it. I still prefer the 45* fitting though.

damn fcettner i didnt know you were hiding that under the hood. How much did you lower the motor to make that strut brace fit?
