My re-build thread: 96 hatch

Here is a little bit more progress guys!

Got the firewall painted

Heres a shot of the front of the bay after paint.

Tranny and intake manifold are both painted flat black with 1200 degree paint

Got my valvecover stripped and I believe 5thgen is gonna weld in my catch can bungs. Also a couple of my fittings and lines.

Thats it for now I guess, I'll have more progress pics after I take some more pictures. N2HIFI is coming over in about a week to help me wire tuck the engine bay! Woot!

Just goes between the pcv and the intake manifold. You can place it anywhere near the engine prolly closer the better not sure on that aspect though.

its a more efficient way of getting oil to the vital parts of the engine.

A "catch can" in this case is nothing more than crankcase ventilation......thats it.

www.honda-tech.com has useful information about it.
