Crankcase evac/breather setup discussion

It got mentioned in another thread that I didn't want to jack any longer and I was thinking of posting one anyway.

SO ON WITH IT!!!!!!!

I need to improve my current crankcase evac system in my car, and from what I could find online you need to run a real catch can, something that can seperate oil and air not just a bottle that collects the crap.

options:

Calan Catch can: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/cust...on-system.html $80, can me made custom size.

This would be the setup I would copy, but I don't like the placement of the fittings or the fact I'd have more lines all over my engine bay.

Another option presented by Goodhart (I think some other users told me about it too) is the Grimmspeed AOS (air oil seperator) $250-300 cap alone.

I looked very little into this setup, but it looks like this was made specifically for subies but its an oil cap and could be used on other cars, the issue I have would be the lines that would have to be run to it and then filling oil would be a pita with having to remove lines. Also the fact that whatever you collect in the cap would have to be disposed of somehow and that little cap doesn't look like it would hold a lot, plus once it filled up wouldn't that hurt its effectiveness?

I don't know.

I do know the calan catch can works great as a catch can, holds enough to be NHRA legal, filters so good that not a single bit of residue was found on his intake or my own. I had one on my old car and it worked fantastic and I have a small one on this car now that is working well, but i need bigger lines.

With that said, what are you experiences with this?
