Ah crap. I completely forgot that you were building a D. I just got into B series mode because we were talking about the blocks. You know what? You could probably have the catch can drain into the top of the oil pan like a turbo drain line.

You need 94-95 Legend GS Sedan Dual Piston Calipers... or any 90-95 Legend will work or NSX... LOL

94-95 GS Sedan had the dual piston calipers so they wont be the same as ITR as ITR's are only single pistons...
Just plumb it in place of the stock breather box.
The breather box has to be fed from the block through some kind of fitting, right? Use what's left after you remove the stock box.

Hmm......
I'll see what I can do when the motor is here and I can look at it. I'm not familiar with how the PCV box connects to the block, but I might be able to utilize it somehow. Most people opt to freeze-plug it and buy the Prelude nipple to run the catch can system on.
We'll see!
For an Update, I just had all the tires mounted/balanced and threw them on the car. (look AWSOME),
I had to ship out my adj. cam gear to KMS because I'm an idiot and didn't send it with the motor(no idea why). But they told me thats the last thing they have to do, to set the cam gear and check everything over one last time, check for VTEC engagement, etc.
This whole deal has probably raised my blood pressure a few pounds, but they're knocking off $400, so thats helping me keep sane. (actually, i've worked out a great deal with the folks... I sold my truck, gave them the money, so I only have to pay about $250 out of pocket for a fully built Z6!!! ) ... So when I think of it that way, I feel I'm getting a great deal... even though I'm forced to wait 4 months for it to get back from the builders...

its restricting, it puts nasty air back into the intake to be burned off(for emissions reasons), clogs up the throttle body(Taco15 can attest), and is just all around gay. It's a GREAT way to mass-produce cars to pass emissions in every country, but blows performance out of the water(or motor in this case 
)
I'm sure theres many other reasons to set one up, but that right there is enough for me. I'd rather not suck my motors 'spent' oil/gases back into the intake to get burned again, but thats just me.
