Opinions please right now I have an ARC catch can installed (no pictures in my car) a polished power steering tank and a polished rad over flow that is hid behind my grill. Should I keep this set up or go with the SFR 3 in 1 tank it had coolant overflow, catch can and PS tank?
Will the SFR tank cover too much of my hard work polishing the timing cover?
My current bay before I installed the ARC can




Here is a picture of Marcus engine bay with an ARC catch can for those of you that havent seen one!!









Here is the SFR tank and a picture of it installed I cant find any pictures of it installed in a nice engine bay due to how rare it is.





What do you guys think keep the ARC or go 3:1 tank? i think the 3:1 would clean up some clutter... I ran a pop bottle most of last year for a coolant overflow due to not being able to come with a decent solution for an overflow right now I have a polished overflow behind the grill but I have an ARC oil cooler that I am putting back there so i will be back to square one and if you look closely my PS tank is not bolted up because it hits my IC pipe.

 

Gord, I would definitely go with the ARC oil catch can given those two options. The SFR tank is huge/bulky and will cover up that beautiful timing cover.

When you mount the ARC can, if you decide on that one, try and mount it as close to the core support as possible so you can see as much of the timing cover as possible. During my next work day on the car I'm going to modify my bracket so my catch can sits right up against the core support. I've put so much work all the way down to the bottom of the timing cover, I want to get as much of it to be visible as I can while still running the ARC catch can.

Not sure where you can mount the overflow in your bay given the Turbo piping. You sure if won't fit behind your grill with the ARC oil cooler there?

 

One opinion in my thread

i know marcus that is what is killing me the hours i put into the timing cover, deleting the coolant hose and removing the idler pulleys so it all looks so clean then to cover it up....

I have the ARC can mounted, it sits flush with my 52mm rad it is not centered like yours either it is slightly off to one side it has the 350Z bracket i think. I was going to make a bracket so it sat right up against the core support but my fabricator started at a new shop that dosent have a MIG welder I was also going to do all custom piping as well

 

Ditch the ARC can and go with the other one.

 

you GTFO I am going to do the opposite of what you say anyway or my car will look like an indian farm under the hood if I follow your advice

PS quit stalking me.

 

No contest. The 3.1 tank looks too "industrial" and takes away from the clean lines you have created in the bay. Like Marcus said it hides a lot of your bling.

 

I feel ya Gord. I recently modded my coolant pipes to get rid of that hose too, should be installing them in the next month or two. I'm toying with the idea of ditching the ARC catch can all together, I just can't bring myself to give it up.

 

I agree, the SFR isn't very refined despite the polish.

 

If you get rid of your ARC catch can, let me know. I will buy it from you. As for OP, stay with the ARC, looks way better.

 

Ok if I sell it, it wont be cheap........


I also have an ARC Ver I catch can

 

Gord, I say keep the ARC can and mod the bracket to enable the can to sit closer to the rad support like Marcus said. That other can is FUGLY IMO....big and bulky...

 

I emailed Marcus a picture of my ARC installed if he has time maybe he can post it up?

I need a new photobucket account

 

Here you go Gord:

 

That SFR thing is UGLY!

Here is a pic of one of my HR tanks fitted into a VQ35DE

 

E:Does yours have a catch can, PS tank and coolant over flow? How much are they? I think the ARC one for a GTR has the three tanks in one.


Thanks Marcus....nice shaky camera phone picture on my part
