Hey.

Just a quick question about installing the catch can on my RB20det.

I have a aftermarket turbo and top mount manifold and the usual line which people plumb into is no longer.

Heres a quick picture of what i propose to do.

Is it correct? Is it the right breather to go off. Reason i went this one is it has had nothing on it at all since the new intake and everything had been on.

Your intake plenum looks like a low cost option for those of us that want front mounts without the mass of intercooler plumbing.. what sort of money would a setup like that cost?? Isn't the fuel feeder/return for the injector rail mounted on the end of it? how did you get around that?

You can run it like you have in your diagram no worries, This is how mine has been run for 3 years and it works well.

Just need to make sure the catch can is sealed, as if it has a vented filter, you will get a massive vacum leak at idle.

Also you will need some sort of filtration in the catch can, steel wool in a stocking works well, otherwise it will not work

Alternatively you could just block of the PCV valve and run two hoses of the cam covers to a vented catch can, but I found this to be a bit smelly for everyday driving

Yer ive heard about putting steel wool into the catch can. it might be a bit hard with mine as the only real opening would be the drain hole down the bottom. Ill see how much i can shove into it though.

Cheers

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
