FD3S RX-7 Engine Mounted Oil Catch Tank GB

afgmoto1978 · 02-01-2009, 06:50 PM

If your willing to pay the $250, yes. I would have to make another set of the plates and order accessory parts, which takes a long time. Also would you mind if you get it later in the year, say Mid April? I'm rather overwhelmed with work and need to get my car back on the road asap to get it ready for the March 28th Redline Time Attack.

Let me know and sorry for the delay. Do you also want one of the power steering tanks? I'll work out a deal if you do and are patient.

Ok, let me do some research and get back to you, I'm not sure how I want to run my catch can & premix tank yet. I just figured if I could get in on it now for half price that'd be a good deal

My car is down being rebuilt for awhile so time isn't much of an issue. I'll look into the ps tank also.

Lol, okay, let me know what direction you want to go. RotaryWhat?'s Pre-Mix tank came out to just under 1.6 liters and the catch tanks are exactly 1.5 liters. The power steering tank is really for more capacity and to relocate the filler neck to accommodate my V-mount setup.

Alright guys I'm 75% there on getting these Catch Tank kits done. The tanks are all mostly welded up, I just need to do the following.

1: Weld in passenger breather inlet line on the tanks.
2. Weld in customer specified upper mounting tab.
3: Drill & Tap Bungs
4. Make the passenger side breather lines (mounting flange, formed line, LIM support tab, braze it all together)
5. Polish or sand blast tanks
6. Ceramic clear coat tanks & paint breather lines.
7. Install Sight line fittings, drain valve, sight line tubes.
8. Package and ship to you guys.

I need to know from each person other than RotaryWhat? and AHarada on what type of upper mounting tab you want. See picture below, you have the choice of the following, 1) power steering tab mount (requires you to drill and tap the tab on the power steering tank frame), 2) the original vacuum chamber tank mount (requires the rats nest frame work to be in place)

Looking good

Here another view of the power steering mounting tab for those tha can't picture it in your head.

afgmoto1978 · 02-03-2009, 12:28 PM

RotaryWhat?, see pictures of the filler neck. It ended up being really close to the oil filler cap. So if you have one of those rotor shape filler caps, Sorry your going to have to ditch that engine garnish.

And the lower sight line tube near the main engine pulley wheel will be captured by a tab that I will be welding onto the tank shortly.

Should be polishing/clear coating it Wednesday/Thursday and ready to ship Friday/Saturday.

Congrats for being able to fit everything in there. No worries on the cap---small price to pay for not having to custom mount an off the shelf tank somewhere in my engine bay. Looks really good---let me know the final price and I'll Paypal the rest.

How much extra is it for powdercoating? I'd rather have mine gloss black.

I'd be interested in one of these catch cans as well...and I'm in no hurry....I can wait until you're ready to produce again,

What's this about power steering tanks?

more info?

It'll be a month or two before the engine's ready to go back in, but I have to say it's a quality piece.

Quick question though, it looks like you used regular teflon tape on all the fittings---do you see any issues with this holding up to oil? Same question on the push lock tubing.

If mine were just a catch tank I wouldn't be worried, but since mine is a premix tank I don't want little pcs of teflon breaking down and clogging up the OMP or oil injection nozzles.
