Oil Catch Can?

[DJRIFT]

The only concern with steel wool would be if it come's apart and you get little bits of wool getting sucked into your turbo.

I suppose you could tack weld some stainless sheets in there.

i was wondering what people use for baffels to but depending on your set up than the turbo wont be able to such it in.

the ones i have seen vary heaps. some people have one pipe coming from one side of the cam cover into the can then have a filter so the vapor doesnt get returned to the intake just to atmosphere.

other way i asume yours is the same. one pipe from cam cover to the can then a pipe off the can back to the intake.

either way sounds good to me.

SAFE SIDE OF WHAT

OIL IN THE INTAKE PIPES, i'd rather pay $30 and know i dont have to rip of my front bar, take off most the pipes and clean them out, in case i did get blow-by

also a catch can = cop bait

they cant say much, one with a small filter on top of it is a mod to engine emissions but ones without it are fine and nothings vented to atmosphere

my car did blow oil throught the intake coz the f**kwit i bought it off put 3.8lt's of oil extra when he serviced it. My mechanic (brother) told me this was the problem and that it wasnt blow-by, once he serviced it, the oil neva went thru again, nor did my can eva fill up

put it this way, if u get a can and u know no oils going in there its all good, wen u do get oil u mite b in trouble, least the can saves you from more cleaning worries

Typically they are fed in after the turbo (ie between turbo and engine)

So id rather worry about the engine, even if it was fed prior to the turbo.

In any case you would probably want a check valve in between the catch can and the intake to stop back flow and a filter to limit any debre.

Also welding stainless steel to aluminium is quite hard. Actually almost impossible.

Typically low grade aluminium sheet would be better

can some one please put up a diagram of the plumbing for an oil catch can, theres a pipe from one side of rocker cover to other, do you just put either end of that to the two catch pipes ? (RB20 btw)

[WazR32GTSt]

i;ve already posted a diagram, and theres about 3 others in the first page of the thread...

[thrtytwo]

haha my bad, cheers man.

[thrtytwo]

just want to make sure im not doing anything wrong before i put it on. havnt seen a diagram with this exact set up so 1 last check shouldnt hurt

is this setup ok on an RB20 without any hoses being blocked, just taking off the stock pipe and re-plumbing through the can ?
