agreed wasn't giving much thought to that. although I have been running it open for some time now and don't see any oil accumulation any where

Yes. Will ensure no dips in the routing of the hoses. Last thing to check now is if i can get 4 Hoses... The size of the breather port around the radiator... If not will downgrade hose diameter... Should be fine thougg

Michi sells hoses also. As he's redesigned his site, some pages are sort of hard to find

Interesting thread, I am in need of a catch can setup and nothing has been exactly what I want, so its good to know that Saikou Michi can customize because I wasn't a fan of the smaller size and mounting location of their S2000 specific kit. I am interested to see pictures if your setup once you have it installed.

yep. this weekend I wont see my car. But in two weeks I will be testfitting the hoses (using 4 x breather hoses) as dummy fit and seeing if the room permits. otherwise will downgrade and then send off the order!

Spoke to my trusty mechanic about it this morning and he also agreed on all fronts of what I am proposing

What is this obsession with Saikou Michi catch cans? Is it because it has a JDM sounding name?

f@#k no. Uts because its a can that allows you some pretty awesome ability to customise a setup for you/your car.

No man...He really is a Japanese guy who lives in AZ. I don't know what his FT occupation is (I don't think it's the catch cans).

He's the real deal. He just named the company after himself. No JDM crap.

He makes very high quality, completely customizable catch can setups for less than almost anybody.

I guess you guys have never heard of the German company Mann-Hummel that engineers A/O separators?

The Provent 150 would be big enough for an NA S2000. It's $85, lol, and looks OEM.
