Just wondering if there are any huge differences between one catch can to another. I plan on ordering one for my s14 swap, but is there really a huge difference between a $50 greddy one and a $150 kazama? Any suggestions, circuit sports, greddy, kazama?????

Cannister Volume.

You should size against Displacement/blow-by and oil capacity. (oil cooler adds more capacity).

A local hotrod guy did that to his car. Pretty cool I guess.

All catch cans do the same thing. As long as it isn't leaking air in from the outside. Size doesn't matter. It doesn't really fill up unless something is wrong.

I got a circuit sports one from Phase2 for $60. Nice complete kit, everything you need.

How much more oil does an oil cooler add to the system?

That will depend on size of the cooler and how long the lines are. :duh:
my oil filter relocation kit gets just under 1quart more.
