LHD though, sits where RHD brake master cylinder is. Prova unit looks decent, rig up the pcv valve/crank case line into the cam breathers and i think it would be near on perfect without cluttering up the engine bay. So long as a return line to inlet is in place to keep a vacuum.

The Prova looks very neat indeed. I have a Hyperflow which is tucked away naer the battery but has more hoses over the engine than the Prova so not as neat. Saying that it works a treat...

With a fast car I think that would work fine and be neat (and legal), the Hyperflow I have works well, a Crawford OAS with a return to sump (below top of oil line) would be what I'd go on a track setup. A forged EJ likes to breath and I don't like oil vapor going back into the inlet, I think the volume & baffling are important to separate the air from oil.

On a dedicated weekend warrior toy, a full seperator system is just common sense. I thank for a daily, the prova system makes sense. Horses for courses.

Do remote control cars need catch cans???

Sump return is great, but a little more messing round. One of my first cars (Cordia) came with catch can with sump return stock!!

As far as using generic catch cans... they are worthless unless they actually seperate oil from air. I have been working on my own prototype for a couple of years now, just waiting for Rob to give the nod on manufacturing/ selling it!

Geez you guys turn on your own quickly

It's funny doing Jack's my can was completely empty were as doing Barb's or AHG I would get about 75-100mm in 2-3 hours, so the cornering definitely throws oil up, I could see a touch of oil residue on the left (pass) side rocker breather after doing AHG so assume it's sloshing up or not draining down quickly enough.

Agree on the return to sump being a bit of work, I think Saab also do this ?
