Ok I've designed a new catch can for myself. I made up a full size model and test fitted it. Seems to fit alright.

Do you think it will work?

My current one doesn't catch any vapours, only liquids from track day poor oil control. (I built my engine before the oil control thread :()

I would always run a hose from the bottom of the catch can back to the sump with a 1 way valve if necessary. Another thing that i have being toying with is running a breather from the crankcase from somewhere away from the crank, trying to catch the blowby before it gets up into the head, which slows the return of the oil from the head which appears to be the main cause of this problem. The catch can may want to be a little wider, as the wider it is the slower the gases will be travelling through it. It is a case of bigger is better. You may also get a benefit of running two separate breather hoses from the rocker covers to the catchcan. :(

      Thank you for the feedback bro. Looks like it’ll have to stay off the road till it gets an ecu

      Only if you do not You will not be able to drive it with any serious load without risk of it pinging, which will either slowly or rapidly kill it, depending on how bad it is.

      Hi guys, I’m new to the GTR scene. Picked up an R33 GTR earlier this year that needs a lot of love. I’ve been going through the hot side, changing all the gaskets and while it was all off I managed to score a set of -9s. It still had the stock ceramics so I was pretty happy to get the 2860s.  I live in a small country in the pacific with 0 performance car scene. No dyno’s no performance parts, let alone stock parts for a skyline. I order everything from Australia and do it myself. This means I’ll be running the stock ECU. Maybe down the track I’ll get an aftermarket set up and do a remote tune.  Will the car run -9s on stock tune safely?  I have a very heavy foot so I really hope so 😂   thanks guys

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      I'm not sure if it will bolt up, but.... I'm reasonably sure that the ID of the runners is somewhat smaller on the NAs. So it probably wouldn't be a good match at the flange where the top and bottom meet. So that would be a reason to not do it. And the skinny runners would be the bit you're keeping, which would be a reason to no do it. You'd want the big runners if you were doing any work to swap stuff. Why not just use what you've got, like nearly everyone else who has +T'd an NA? You don't need or want the TCS throttle or other stuff that is specifically DET inlet/crossover.
