Will TT catch Can Fit LCR?

[BBoy82]

Just a quick question really.
Anyone used that kit?
I cant think of a reason why it wouldnt fit.
Cheers,
Dan

Its the Forge kit im on about!!

In a word no, i was the test car
We have an aircon gassing point the TT doesnt there, but i reckon bracketry could be made to get it to fit
I have a 'special' coming to me soon so i can see if it could be modified to fit but with its price tag i wouldn't want to do anymore than fit it

 

[BBoy82]

Ok, i seem to remember the gassing tap down the back there... What if that pipe was slightly re-routed using a set of mini benders do you reckon?

 

[BBoy82]

Cheers for your quick reply by the way Ronin!

 

[Ronin225]

Not sure if there is some sort of special fitting on the end to engage with when regassing
Als o depends on how the pipe is the other end, could have a flange welded onto it?
If you did do it in some 8mm? hardpipe you would need to drain the system to do it then have it reagassed afterwards
Also if you are running DV relocation i wouldn't bother as it is cramped around there as it is

i sopose you dont know the rough measurements of this tt can do you?

 

[tim langley]

what are the benefits of having a catch can?

I will have a modified one to suit my setup which is slightly bigger which i could measure for you

 

[BBoy82]

Yeah, there should be a schraeder valve on the tip of the stem, with a dust cap on it. The wife has the car at the mo, so i cant go and have a look. I just seem to remember the stem being quite long, and as such may be possible to bend an elbow into it to get it out of the way, and then possibly fit a flexy extension refrigerant hose to extend it so you wouldnt have to take the catch tank out to regas if that makes sense... Im proably barking up the wrong tree here, but ill give it a look a bit later and report back...

 

[BBoy82]

Not going to happen! Especially with an S3 strut brace.
Back to the drawing board!

 

[Ronin225]

I think youll be surprised how low the can would sit, brace is miles away

that would be great if you could measure it for me,how much bigger is it to the forge one? sorry for the late reply.

 

[Ronin225]

Just turned up yesterday so wil try to get pics and dimensions for you

 

[danny m]

cheers chap

 

[Ronin225]

Few pics of my can now its here

Rough dimensions are 100mm diameter
150mm tall from top to bottom of drain port
19mm ports
65mm sight glass length, 20mm below top
Drain port on bottom is 1/4" BSP to suit a mini ball valve below

 

[BBoy82]

Hmmm. Ok...
How will it be secured to the vehicle? Ive got a jabba heatshield you see, and dont want it just flapping around or cable tied to the strut brace!!

 

[danny m]

looks good mate how is this different to the tt one (mounting bracket). how much did you pay for it if you dont mind asking?

 

[Ronin225]

It has the ports on the other side for this and sight glass front on, it is bespoke for me
My battery is in the boot so airbox is soon to be gone and can mounted otherway to planned and secured on airbox mount
I believe this can is larger volumetrically than the one planned with the kit
I have sent Kris a PM as i do believe it could be adapted without too much hassle

 

[danny m]

do you think this could get mounted on the side of the battery tray, in between the battery and the intercooler hose that goes in to the inlet manifold?
