Rb20det Blowby Query

[MerlinTheHapyPig]

i've noticed recently when removing some intake piping, that i'm getting a decent amount of blowby.

compression test was fine (all around 155psi)

i think it's just high rpm usage which is causing this (motor sees 7,000-8,000 rpm quite regularly when i'm drifting). I've read sydneykid's oil control thread. Next time I get the engine out i'll be doing these mods but that won't be for a while. Are there any suggestions on easy ways to stop this for the time being? I really should have a catch can, i think i'll make one up when i get a chance, but for now the garden hose + gatorade bottle should do the trick. Not too urgent since the car is grounded with an electrical problem so I don't think it'll be seeing the track for a while.

without fixing the problem directly, all you are doing is a band-aid approach

an oil catch can would work fine.. what's wrong with our home-made can with the gatorade bottle? if it works, then leave it

alternatively, i bought one from jusjap for $80ish and it works fine..

gatorade bottle does the job, but I think i'll make up a catch can myself, gives me some more practice with the welder!

I have a spare engine in the garage, i'm gonna start prepping it & do a nice rebuild. So i'll make sure I do the oil control mods while i'm building it.
