Not that it's new or ground breaking but thought I would throw up a couple quick pictures of an ACRX catch can installed on my street ACR. When I'm doing installs I am always looking for pictures online to verify hose routing and other details.

Anyways here ya go:

I see you removed the smooth tubes?
BTW where did you get the catch can and did you modify the valve cover yourself?
It's on my list to do by the time spring comes around.

I was in London this time last year. Spent a month there. The first thing I did when I got home was get in my car. Drive. Buy an American burger and fries from and smile!

Still have them, I had a vacuum leak last week and was trouble shooting thinking it might have been that connection so I removed them. Ended up being one of the two tubes just behind the throttle bodies. Put a clamp on it and problem solved.

I had Morgan at Tomball drill and add the bulkhead fittings. I did the rest.

Purchased it from Cody Whitehead of Whitehead Motorsports by way of Tom Francis.

That's on the list, picking up some ACRX dive planes from Cody and I'll have those painted so maybe I'll do the valve covers at the same time.

Yeah I was up late, paying for it now lol.

Looks great, I'm curious to see if it reeks in the cabin now, or if its a non issue.

It won't smell better I'm sure but it's a personal preference thing. I tend to build my cars more race oriented I guess. Always loved the race car on the street thing.

I don't think it will be a huge deal since the vacuum from the manifold has been removed (the major reason why oil is getting sucked into the manifold). Unless the engine has a huge blow by issue, it really won't be putting out that many fumes or oil as many people think with a vented to the atmosphere system.

Nice job Flatout, very clean install.

Cheers,
George

Looks great and should save you some detonation during those high speed chases on Texas freeways. Update us on how much it fills. I know this is a must for boosted car, interested to see on NA.

Unnecessary for street only use but VERY good idea for tracking/racing especially for Gen 4. How well I found out and it is a cheap insurance mod to have.

Looks good Andy. Let me know how much oil you collect. I only get a couple of tablespoons at every oil change.

What does the ACRX can attach to anyway? Looking at the pictures and not seeing it.

Wondering the same. Do you have to drill holes anywhere or use existing bolts?

He's got bulkhead fittings added to the valvecovers. You can see the PS heater hose running to a 90deg fitting in the 3rd pic. The ACR-X setup is made to be run open, vented to atmosphere.

I totally misread the post I quoted LOL.
I was actually wonder how it mounts. Thanks for the reply though!

On that note, who sells the ACR-X can and for how much? I am looking at a few options. I want to pick a CC up this week.

Jon can sell you one or I think you can get it from Arrow. The bracket that comes with the can goes to the oil cooler mounting bolts. Only thing you will have to do or get done is tap the valve covers.

I drilled and tapped the crossmember.

Ditto, I can see the blue fittings. I would like to see the bracket to the cooler.

It's just a flat bracket on the back side of the can. Two slots are cut into the bracket which slide underneath two factory fasteners on the inner fender liner by the washer fluid reservoir. Great design actually.
