Anybody put a catch can on an LS?

Riksta · 11-02-2011, 04:08 PM

I'm seriously considering entering my car in the 2011 AFF Drag Nationals, apparently my car will need a catch can (like a 600ml coke bottle) to catch the water overflow.

Just wondering if anyone's done this, wanting to know the best place and method for attaching it all to the car.

Thanks!

why do you need to put a catch can?
the cooling system is a sealed unit & will only leak water if something breaks.
running a ls zetec down the quater shouldn't go anywhere near overloading your cooling system

Thanks mate, appreciated.

I had asked anything I need to do to my car in the thread about the drags, and had been told I need a catch can. If it is a sealed system it should all be ok.

i know e series falcons with a similar system still need a overflow bottle for drag racing, stupid yes but thats the rules

If its sealed, I don't understand what you're meant to attach it to if there's no overflow?

I have an EB, and all I had to do was block off the end of the tube out the top of the overflow bottle.
Didnt need another catch can of coke bottle.
