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 :laugh:

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)

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 :D

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

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
