I was considering adding catch cans on my NA elise. However the ones I have seen in person took the place of the windshield washer reservoir. I like to keep that as I use it from time to time.

Any suggestions for a nice set that requires min modifications to the car? Or any feedback by people that have them installed for a while now?

Oil catch cans? I have the S111's and they are easy to install and fit in the space very well.

I have had the sector cans and now have Saikou Michi cans in both Loti. Didn't have to remove the washer. Your fine and both install easy.

Radium is also another option. They look great, too

+1 with pro, they look better than all!

May I ask why you want to install them on a NA car?

I got an error code recently that was related to a dirty throttle body. As I understand it, catch cans can help in minimizing such problems. I was told that if you drive on the track or push the engine in the second cam, you will find that you collect a lot of oil in the catch cans that otherwise could cause such minor issues.

I am still researching it by the way, so it is not conclusive on what I will do.

If it is something cheap, easy and reversible, I am inclined to do it for piece of mind. For example, the person that told me about catch cans, had removed the windshield washer to install a catch can and a fuel surge tank. I am not willing to trade that out of the car.

A follow-up question, as I have read some conflicting information. Do any of these require modifications to the car? I know there is cutting of the PCV hose, but is there also drilling or any other modification? I am looking for a solution that is reversible if I decide the catch cans were not doing anything for me.

Some of the vendors’ sites have descriptions like “uses existing mounting bolt locations” or have pdf installation instructions. I can take some pics of the mounting bracket on mine tomorrow but the bracket you end up with may differ. If you install the catch cans I would keep them installed, even if this doesn’t fix the current issue you have they will keep some oil from going through the intake system.

Boe also makes a catch can

I don't think any of them require any modification to the car itself...
