can u use a oil catch can for a coolant catch can?

Only if it has overflow and scavenging provisions.

Our cars use a recovery style coolant overflow container, so no, a regular container would not properly function.

it has a hose port in and a hose port out. im not to familiar with catch cans but i need a coolant catch can in order to run on the track but the cheapest one is 50 bucks. but i found a oil catch can for 18 bucks. they look the same...

Ok we'll have to define things.
Overflow - a way to drain excessive coolant so the catch can doesn't pressurize and explode.
Scavenging - a way to recover coolant from the catch can should the cooling system need it.

They don't function the same internally.

Google the followng: Jaz 602-025-01

It's a 1-quart recovery style overflow bottle, and you can get them for about $20-22.
