you should leave the inlet manifold one hooked up. (pcv valve)

the turbo side should have the big one from the rocker cover going to it and thats it. simply block the suction pipe hole and leave the little filter on the can.

The T Piece runs to one of the inlets on the catch can. It used ot have two lines to it but then i couldn't have a breather (as the catch can didnt have one built in) so we used the 2nd inlet on the catch can and stuck a breather on that, but i am thinking that doesnt work... lol

Car only blows alot of smoke when you have put ur foot down into boost, on idle its very minimal

Some smoke comes out the rocker covers but when the catch can system is disconnected the car blows alot less smoke out of the exhaust system...

Im off to buy a decent catch can and see if that helps peeps!

Otherwise i think theres somethin else wrong aswell... maybe an oil drain/inlet problem?

I'd have to agree with the rest, That line off to the catch can is probably too restrictive and is causing the crank case to pressurise, when the crank case is pressurised the oil drain backs up and pushes oil out the turbo seals. happened to me when i had a retard attack and tried to use a hose and very restrictive brass air filter for my vent and had the same thing happen with my brand new garrett turbo. :(

Ive disconnected one of the lines that runs to the T piece and then to the catch can and the car seems to blow very little smoke now, still abit but about 90% less!

So obviously i need a better catch can set up and ill check the drain lines etc anyway on monday. I should be able to keep off a defect now tho :(

you basicly need to hook it up so ideally you would have large catch can with 3 fittings or 2 fittings and a vent.

two fittings for both rocker cover hoses.(the big ones)(plug the pcv valve)

and the thrid to atmosphere or back into the suction pipe :(

I will sent two hoses to the catch can and have the breather ontop of the catch can :(

Im still getting a tiny bit of smoke but im sure after the lines are looked at and the tuning plcae get it we can sort that out!

Thanks for the help so far peeps.

I don't understand how restrive lines or bad catch can - can cause that much white smoke -

I'm not saying this wasn't the case - just trying to understand the physics behind it - As I had a similar problem with my old car.

In my case the air intake route was blocked off, so all the bad oils etc have nowhere to go except to the catch can from the head. If the lines are too small or there is a problem with the breather then pressure can build up and force oil out in my case through the turbo's oil seal i believe?

The system needs to be able to expell the gas's and extra oils that build up in the combustion process basically...

have you taken one of your intercooler pipes of to see if your intercooler is full of oil?

The intercooler had a slight build up of oil but nothing outta the ordinary. The wierd thing was oil got into the boost controllers actuator line! That messed with my controller but i let it out and pulled a line off the block and it runs fine now, i have to keep it like that until i get the new catch can next week because if i hook it back up it'll cause the oil problem again! As it is its not too bad at all.

Ok i replaced the catch can with a better set up, two lines running to it and it has a built in breather and i still get oil smoke....

Next up i will have the turbo oil line looked at to see if it has a restrictor on it otherwise check the line to the sump isnt blocked.

If its not that then i guess its the turbo oil seal??? :D

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
