    After about 400km I decided to see what the can had, as well as trying to see if I could re-route some of the lines. Had about half the liquid that phil had in the above photo. Due to the FMIC piping the lines have quite a 'U" shape to them. The inlet line to the OCC had quite a bit of liquid in it, but so did the outlet line (clear liquid). Not really sure what could be in the outlet line? gas vapour that had condensed?

    Ended up getting sidetracked and didn't change the lines + wanted to know if I was catching more 'stuff'.

    Overall super happy with the can (cheers MSpeed). Seeing the crap that goes through the system and gets caked on the valves is quite the sight, nice to know I can catch most everything now.

    So I am trying to decide on a OCC... JBR, CorkSport or Saikou? Any quality issues with any of them? I wanted to install a SRI(prolly JBR since its a turbo inlet also but it won't be till next summer) I know the OCC location can have a influence on the SRI.

    Corksport = Least $
    JBR = Middle $
    Saikou = Most $

    Actually, if you factor in shipping, the JBR kit will most likely be more than the Saikou Michi kit (provided you get the Saikou Michi kit off MSpeed). I'm not sure how the JBR and Corksport cans look like on the inside so who knows which one is actually better.

    Thanks Rzapata ... Shipping + Brokerage is a biatch!
    I saw a group buy on the OCC for Saikou but I'm not sure if the order went in or not. I will talk to Vince once I meet up with him to get my group buy stuff from JBR.

    Thanks Paul. I didn't even see the glowing review until now. At the end of the day, I'm more happy that your car is happy. =) Any problems with the lines you're using?

    Our kits were arrived at with the best possible parts that any typical owner would get for their car to perform on street and track. Of course, in an ideal world, my dealership-sponsor would run braided stainless steel lines w/ AN-fittings through-out and carbon fibre catch can lined with super light unobtainium and $130/per laboratory grade check valve. [There are $130 USD check valves...I know.] After that, we priced our kit at a point that remains competitive regardless of USD exchange rates. Think of it more as a hook-up than just another option.

    NP! No issues with the lines and actually like that they are ribbed (for her pleasure), I'm sure that helps with the overall performance of the system. Due to check and see what's in there. Been a while since the last empty.

    Unobtanium eh?!?!? I was hoping for Adamantium, Wolverine would have been proud lol. Jokes aside, sounds like an awesome set up Vince, can't wait to get the order in so I can have a nice clean intake for a while.

    I decided to try emptying my catch can after seeing what came out of Phil's today. Drove about 5,000-5,500 KM since last oil change and here are the results:







    Will check back in a few days to see it separate. Look at that nasty stuff that's going into your engine. Thanks MSpeed for putting together this awesome kit.

    Here's Phil hard at work "milking" his catch can.



    P.S. - if nothing comes out, give it a nice shake and it'll come flowing out.

    be careful if you guys empty the crud into a plastic cup. the gas/oil combo might melt plastic and leak all over.

    That's half a large Second Cup frozen coffee cup. OCC must have been at least 3/4 full!

    That's a lot! I get maybe 100ml each time I empty mine at 5000km intervals. And that's with shaking the OCC too lol.

    Decided to empty mine a few weeks back and also surprised how full the OCC was. This is roughly about 6000 km

    you need to shake it more, and wait, then shake it some more. It's in there.

    I recognize that cup! Too bad the contents don't look all that different from the iced frappuchino you were drinking earlier in the day
