Default catch can location.

having finally worked out how to plumb in my catch can i have reached another problem.

the catch can i have is an obd 1 litre 3 port baffled version, its a chunky piece of kit and im struggling with mounting it.

I mounted mine where the battery normally goes as i have moved it to the boot. Any space there? Another popular place seems to be behind passenger side strut but looks like a pita to get to.

Is the obd one what most people have gone for instead of the RCM one? I need one for mine but dont really want to pay £200 for one.

If you're going to run a FMIC TT mount it on the firwall.

yes i have the intercooler off at the moment, the problem is the obd is quite large and there isnt enough room on the bulkhead, there is just about enough room on the passenger side suspension turret.

Iv just fitted the exact same one, but Iv binned my AC now as I started runing out of space a while ago,so mine is mounted where my AC pump was on the engine & it work a treat & looks great. Make sure you blanc your PCV or they don't work properly & don't catch enough oil.

Yes they are massive twice as big as my last one. I was going to put mine on the NSR bulk head low down,but Iv fitted my swirl pot there now. These are the best catch cans for a Scooby by a long way loads better than D1 spec etc & much better value than RCM etc.
