Oil Catch Can Install Help

[SalEsh]

just bought a greddy oil catch can and not really sure on what hose's to block off/placement to the can.

remove the hose running off the right hand cam cover to the intake pipe and plumb the catch can in there.

While you're there. Check that the stock blow off valve has a plate or something installed underneath or it will be venting under boost (assuming thats your engine).

Hey SalEsh what's up. It's nice to see that I'm not the only Canadian on here. :lol:

Anyway I was contemplating the same thing so when you actually install do a "How To" post with pic's as I'm sure people will use the info (like me ) when and if they install a catch can.

Well good luck with it and keep us posted.

any disadvantage's/advantage's in plumbing it back compared to blocking and venting... like on that rb20det link.....

if any oil DOES carry through it will then go to the turbo (not very likely) is the only disadvantage. But the megga bonus for this setup is that it is completly legal.

What if any are the negative side effects of having the PCV blocked off?

My catch can is setup with both breathers going to can and then back to inlet with the PCV bunged off.

[gt-t_r34]

i think that is the atmo way do you have a filter on the can? if i am right and you dont have a filter its putting stress on your breather system not good!

Forget using the PCV, its a check valve thats all. Provided your catch can isnt a catch can, but an oil/air seperator then there is no problem plumbing back to the inlet. Thats what i have done...when i go to the track i just rip that hose off the inelt pipe to the turbo and run my Greddy piece of sh1t to a coke bottle (catch can )

PCV is open under engine vacuum to burn any oild residue from the rocker covers etc. Under load/boost the PCV valve will close so that all gases have to go to the intercooler/turbo pipes
