OK

I've just spent that last 15mins searching for what I need - but have come up empty (or with conflicting info)

I have just picked up a 'drift' style catch can for my R32 GTR and I need some pointers on how to install it

It does not have a filter that bleeds to atmo - so I assume I need to plumb everything back into the intake system

My current thinking is to join the two breathers that come off the top of the rocker covers and plum that into the catch can. Then plum from the can back into either the plenum and/or the turbo intake

talk to my guys - HOW SHOULD this be done !!

Sounds like what you actaully have is an oil-air separator.

Because the rocker covers are connected by a single hose, it is only necessary to plumb one of the rockers to the separator. I would suggest the one that currently connects back to the inlet side of the turbos. Basically replace that hose with plumbing to the separator.

and the plumb back to the turbo inlet ?

also - should I block off the pipe that goes to the plenum ?

When you have done it can you take a pics and post it up please, as i bought on of those style drift style catch fo my R32 GTR and had no room to mount it.

Also you can tap a hole into it for a breather, thats what one of my mates told me.

  • 9 months later...

Those drift ones from autobarn now come with an extra hole in the lid so u dont even need to drill and tap them would love to see a pic of one installed in a gtr coz I sure cant see where I can fit one. No room if u r running ABS ie stock if I could fit it reckon it would do the job though.

what i did was use one of those powerplay catch cans runs of the top of engine...side of tanks one hose goes to turbo inlet the other i plumbed that into a smaller catch can mounted that next to the brake booster and from there another hose back to the blow by gas valve..then this remains legal :)

could you put up a pic would love to see it :huh:

Pics would be good planned on getting a POWERPLAY type one (mounts over the rocker covers at the back of the engine bay) tryed to do a rush job for the trackday on the weekend will do it properly now though I think hadnt planned on using an extra tank as well interested in the logic behind that. Does the powerplay type have any baffles or no. Would really like to see pics if ya could.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
