Nice work that is sure to stop any carbon buildup looks easy to empty also.

Yes it’s an SI, I had to go too the parts store for the outlet hose. The one that it came with didn’t reach. Also I don’t know if you can see in the pictures but I put a sleeve on the gas line that is behind the can just to protect it from rubbing on the can.

You got the sleeve from the parts store as well? Thanks for the info!

Yes just split the left over vent pipe and used that.
How is the catch-can doing?

Haven’t opened it yet. Going to when I do the oil change, that will be soon. I’ll post pictures of it and an update.
Thank you! I just got a cheapie baffled can like I have in my MX-5 and going to install this weekend, I didn't want to "mod" the car but after some research it just seemed like a good idea for Turbo DI engines especially

After 3,500 miles this is how much my Mishimoto catch can caught.

Appreciate the follow-up! So is that a lot and would you consider this worthwhile? Not as familiar with catch cans.
I wouldn't say that's a lot, but seems about right for what I'd expect as blow-by. Catch can is a worthwhile mod for sure, especially for these Direct Injected Turbo engines. I'll link to a few good videos below about why this is worth the investment, even for a stock car. For a port injected engine, its not as critical because anything that gets on the intake valves through the PCV system is constantly being washed off with fuel, on a DI engine it just builds up over time. The way I see it, even trapping a tablespoon of this stuff every oil change is a win. Why don't stock cars have catch-cans? Because nobody would empty them. My turbo Miata had one from factory but it was designed to catch blow-by and then drain it back into the oil pan, which created a host of other issues
Very happy with the placement of the Mishimoto can, very OEM looking and plenty of room to unscrew it for emptying

More of a pain in the butt for sure. Do you already have a bar in there?
Yes, I do
If I had to make my choice I’d ditch the bar for the can, or just work around it. Those bars don’t do much anyway, the firewall braces the towers just fine which is why even the R doesn’t have a bar.
It also depends what bar and where it sits, but you should be totally fine to have both
edit: looked at your bar, it’s gonna make it a pain in the ass for sure. I’m like 99% sure you’ll have to remove it to install the can, but should be able to undo it for emptying with a little maneuvering without taking stuff apart
I will need to check it out a little closer, but getting the can in can't be worse than the brake brace haha.
As for the bar, it helped amazingly, highly suggest one. Plenty of performance parts don't come stock incl on the CTR
I removed the one on my Miata, which has a chassis design that apparently benefits greatly from the bar, and felt no difference. Then again, that car isn’t the stiffest chassis out there by far so maybe hard to tell.I will need to check it out a little closer, but getting the can in can't be worse than the brake brace haha.

good luck with the can! Well worth the effort
