    Question Where to mount oil catch can?

    Okay, the engine bay of a 2001 honda prelude is pretty tight.

    Has anyone installed an oil catch can? If so, where did you mount it?

    I've been told by some that you need to mount it in the location of the cruise control module, but that would result in losing cruise (I don't think so).

    So, I'm stuck on other possible locations to maintain is functionability. Any suggestions?????

    You can mount it wherever you want, it all depends on how much line you have. Is your prelude FI? If not why are you installing an oil catch can?

    I can't mount it wherever, due to space limitations, as well as, the longer the length of vacuum line the less effective it is.

    No, my prelude is not FI. The reason for the oil catch can is that it works and every little bit helps. I've seen pretty gunked up intakes on stock preludes.
