FD3S RX-7 Engine Mounted Oil Catch Tank GB

[AHarada]

Also, I have stock twin turbos for now, so the turbo oil drain on the rear iron is being used. So how would you suggest I set it up like this? I'm thinking the catch tank inlet would be from the oil filler neck, but what about the catch tank outlet? Would that go to the PCV check valve on the UIM, or to the primary compressor inlet? Or both?

Regarding the premix tank design---I can't think of a filler/cap location better than what you pretty much have drawn up. Attached is a picture showing the routing of the IC piping (mine will be similar)----I think your tank will still fit. Perhaps you could cut off the top part of the tank on the drivers side just to make a little more clearance? I don't think it will affect the capacity much, and if you could run the sight line out of the front instead of top I think there would be enough room. What do you think?

Also, I wanted to make sure that your tank will have clearance for the steel braided oil metering lines around the water pump---it looks pretty close in some of your pictures.

I came to that conclusion last week, here's what your's is going to look like.

I did take that into account, it will be tight, but they will fit.

Well, these catch tanks vent to atmosphere, so a line to the UIM is not required. This then allows no pressure to build up in the oil pan during all conditions.

As far the vent line from the right rear iron, I will provide you with all the neccesary hardware for when or if you plan to convert to single. Others have drilled and tapped into the front engine cover, but I don't believe you would want to do that.
