I usually get rid or block off the pcv vlave. I run two number 12an fittings off the top of my valve covers to a catch tank with a breather filter on top. I have noticed no oil in the can.

I dont like the pcv working because it makes the intake so dirty. My setup has always worked providing the engine does not have excessive blow by.

Guys,

I've read this thread and the other ones and still confused about how to mount catch can in my series 2 r33. So many methods and Im simply lost. Can someone please provide a few clear photos on how this is done effectively, the kit they used (inclding fittings etc) please?

Also, what if the catch can is one that can be opened to put steel wool or whatever in it to act as baffle (like the kits JJ sell), are they still ok and effective?

Keen on getting one on before heading onto the track.

Much appreciated guys

Cheers

My catch tank made by a user on here. Blocked pcv vent to Atmo style.

Push in fittings to the cam covers with speedflow fittings

My PCV is plumbed into the manifold as well, bit hard to see in this photo

Theres both options for you anyway

The rb25 PCV is attached to cam cover, does it have some sort of shielding to stop oil spraying on it ?

[AMR33]

Thanks guys. So both those methods have the intended effect? Do you guys have steel wool in the catch can?

Kerrod, any chance you can post up a pic from the passenger side looking towards the intake plenum?

Cheers for the help

Probably the best I have mate

[AMR33]

Cheers mate. So you just have two hoses from the rocker covers going to the catch can and thats it. Is that effective enough?

Cheers

[KerrodR33]

Yep that's what I have done. Have to block off the pcv on the the cam cover to do it this way though

[AMR33]

Alright thanks mate. One more question, is your catch can baffled or is it hollow inside?

[KerrodR33]

Hollow with steel wool poked inside lol works a treat so far

[AMR33]

Does steel wool last though? How long have you had it in there for? No problems with it getting sucked up into the motor?

Not steel but stainless

[AMR33]

Stainless steel wool? Tried to see who in Perth sells the stuff but couldnt find many places. Any ideas who sells it guys?

Cheers

Wait, is it the cleaning stuff like "scrub buds"?????

[89CAL]

Not sure if its in this thread or another one, but someone has mentioned wrapping the steel wool in a good quality stocking to stop it from seperating.

Alternatively just buy a baffled catch can. Mine is baffled, havent had an issue yet. Doesnt appear to have burnt a drop of oil

I call them "pot mitts" but read the label in the supermarket...
