OCC & Forge Inlet Tube

Has anyone done a successful install of an Oil Catch Can with a Forge Inlet tube? If so, would you mind sharing a photo of your work and possible suggestions? Trying to sort out the routing of the tubes and connections before I purchase the OCC.

Thanks

It's not an ideal setup, but it works. Hose coming out of OCC goes down, back behind airbox, up and over. Just long enough not to kink up on the bends. Will be switching to a dual occ soon so it's gonna be tight in there.

Thanks. That's almost what I had in mind. Is it working okay for you?

Yeah it's fine. I previously had it where the return line went towards the front of the engine bay and circled back around from that end but it was in the way when I went to put a scoop air diverter on so I switched it up. For what it's worth the real benefits of catch cans come in when you have one on both pcv lines (hence my switching to a dual setup) but one is better than nothing. And the only really good dual setup I know of is Saikou Michi who are on a couple month wait list at this point (the one I'm waiting for).

I'll be watching this thread. I have a dual BSH can setup ready to go on my car but the weather hasn't been cooperating. If I get to it soon I'll post up my routing. I was think a 90-degree fitting somewhere in the mix might help clean up the routing because of how the Forge connects...

Looking forward to seeing what you do as well.

Hey sorry to resurrect an old thread, but what did you use to elbow the 90° from the Forge hose? If you used a coupler, what sizes? I've got the Alta CAI too and looks like you have the GTT OCC which I'm also looking at, I believe it comes with connectors, hoses and brackets but the connectors look straight line... Cheers! (FWIW)

Sweet valve cover btw.
