Read the oil control thread. Beyond all the talk about restrictors and external drains, there is solid info on the best sort of closed circuit catch can system. Open catch cans and deactivated PCV is a shit idea.

Why is this?

Whats the issue with the PCV being blocked off?

Street legality = zero.

Fumey smells = the suck.

It not being hard to actually achieve a multi stage catch can with proper pcv functionality = enough of a reason to go to that amount of effort rather than cheaping out.

As long as it wont damage anything thats fine.

Only reason mines like that at the moment is because im such a cheap ass i havnt got a place to attach it into my intake

That said, ive never had Smells or Smoke coming from it.

yer its just my highmount set up doesnt have a spot on the intake pipe to add that third line

That's a weak reason.

You havee been asking about getting someone to fab a catch can.

Get them to add it to to the inlet pipe.

^ Cal ya show off :)

Had to be done lol. I dunno people seem to get mental about catch cans but mine works alright for a mild-medium setup lol. Plus I like my photo :)

and as above, I have a fitting welded onto my intake for the catch can. The bungs can be bought easy as, theres no problem at all sourcing them. It would cost bugger all to have it welded on. If he is making a catch can I dare say if you supply the fitting he will weld it on for free

That's a weak reason.

Thats a fair point. I just bought all the lines and fitting for the car and the can it was coming with feel through. so now im stuck with a heap of fittings nd braided line. hence trying to find a fab guy so i can get it made to exactly how i need it

My tuner blocked my pcv up saying it causes problems with the nistune

Any truth to that, or is he seeing a placebo affect?

yep, with any AFM setup if you're introducing "un-metered" air from the atmosphere it will cause all sorts of issues.. hence if you're running an AFM setup with a vented catch can you need to delete the PCV

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
