Does anybody on here have a ARB compressor and a catch can mounted under the bonnet of a GU CRD?
I currently have my catch can mounted where the compressor could fit but not sure if both will fit together.

Probably not much help but this is where mine is mounted in the GQ which is where the air box is in a 3ltr. Good thing about the ARB ones is you can move them around a bit for different positions which helps. Still was a major PITA getting to the bolts on the bugger tho !

I have mounted mine in the driver's side wing on my drawers and have the outlet on the face of the wing. Makes it easier to reach trailer tyres as well.
Can take a photo later on if you like.

Yea, the CRD is a little more crowded under the bonnet.

G’day Tony mate, personally have preferred to mount my ARB’s inside the trucks throughout the years. Old shorties never had much room in the back so stuck em under the passengers seat (girlfriends loved it :-) ) The twin in my ute also lives inside on the rear wall with chunky wiring to make the distance. Keeping them cool and clean dragging air has always been my preference and there has been discussions on here in regards possibilities of under hood compressors taking in already hot air then mechanically superheating it out.
Either way chosen, please do make sure you install the high temp braided rubber line (hopefully supplied) on the outlet as I and others have heat blown out plastic lines up to 0.5m vicinity in my experiences twice out there. Cheers!

Hey TPC. This is where i mounted mine when I had my 3L 2009 CRD. Backed it onto the second battery tray. Ample room for the catch can behind it as well as a redarc BCDC unit fitted in too. Seems tight. But keeping it neat made it work.
Edit: Please Be careful of that small nipple/hose on top coolant pressure tank. They tend to snap when working around it.
Speaking from experience!

Under the passenger seat and run an extension hose so the filter is mounted in the quarter panel card. This greatly reduces the noise and raises the intake level. Also run all the wiring and relays into water proof junction boxes, so if the car floods the compressor still functions.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

My personal preference is anywhere BUT in the engine bay. I agree with MB that compressors prefer cool, clean air. They get hot when being used so IMHO it's a good idea if they at least start out as cool as possible.

I had an ARB copy of their single cylinder compressor under passenger seat. There is room for is to stand upright, now I have the ARB twin, its lower in overall height so even more room... Just had to make up a mounting plate.
