Default Oil catch can on stock NA S

A few months ago I purchased a catch can from Saikou Michi Co. A few weeks after I got it, I decided to try to see if had "caught" any oil vapors from my PCV valve connection and well I was disappointed as I found nothing in it. However, just yesterday I went to empty it thinking that I would find no oil in it, and well, about 5ml of oil and gas vapor liquid came out of the release valve.

Just to think that all that oil would have entered into my intake manifold and made a mess of it definitely changed my mind on this mod. I don't race or even VTEC my car much so I was shocked how much oil vapor this can caught.

Do you have the S2 specific dual catch can? Mine didnt have anything either after a few weeks but I don't drive all that much. I did notice oil residue in the pcv hose tho.

Yes PCV to can to manifold. I still have to hook up the 2nd catch can tofront breather port too . It is a little more involved to hook that one up but it's harder to find the right tubing.

No very little VTEC ing. Mostly daily mundane civic type (>3k reving) driving. I do drive short distances though mostly a few miles around town so no higher speed driving.

That one is just front breather port > catch can > intake. I used 1/2" hose from Oreilly.

Haha thanks. The time that I got my catch can, all the checkers stores did not stock the 1/2 inch hose...talk about timing.
