    a decent deal....I do not have the inclination to build one myself but I think my car would benefit from it.

    ebay is flooded with catch cans, you need to design a good crank case ventilation system to utilize one of these, there's lots of info on different types of plumbing arrangements on the miata sites

      I would like more info on these as well. I have some blowby and find oil in my intake. PCV valve is good, too.

        I just found oil in my intake tube as well but Im guessing 225,000 miles has something to do with it coupled with my over heating issue a month ago. plus i still have things i need to check and replace

          The oil return from "upstairs" in the rocker area to "downstairs" in the oil pan is
          very restricted on these cars. Add 20 - 30 years of grudge that stays there..thick
          standard old 10 w 40 and winter temps. Oil will stack up upstairs and run into the intake tube. High RPM like an on ramp pumps oil up there faster.
          Run a crankcase cleaner and use 0 w 40 synthetic in the winter. Or year around. And yes, high mileage puts a "headwind" in that tight oil return chute !

            I put that exact one on my B3 except silver color. The quality of the fittings and tubing is not the greatest, but it works very well. I wouldn't install it on a race or show car, but for the price I was pleased. Just the aluminum can is worth the money. You could always add better hardware.

              It sounds like I need to get cracking on things. I don't want to anything else retarded to this car I have a long list of those moments in my past I try really hard not to repeat.
