shouldn't my hosing work like this, this way it stops the oil from passing through the turbo??

Dude.. What the fuck?

Perhaps doing a search would let you understand how a catchcan works, and the point of it. Knowing why youre putting an aftermarket one there would probably help make you sound less stupid.

PS: Give Liz's sock back.

Arkhaeon, no need to be rude. Don't be so juvenile as to resort to calling some one stupid when they are just asking for help.

NSA11N, restricting Oil form your turbo would be bad. Just do a search on the forums for catchcans, and you should find enough info.

Well, was I wrong? I do believe calling me juvenile would be placed in the same category as calling someone stupid. I fail to see how calling a spade a spade is juvenile. If anything, I am acting as a normal twenty-something should act.

A member with 133 posts should know already how the search function works, and thus utilise said function before posting.

Pauls' initial question showed he doesnt use the search function (for a silly, commonly discussed topic), and that gets up my goat enough in itself, but then proceeding to dispute an MS paint drawing of a catchcan location, based on the turbo lines? That doesnt exactly show the greatest deal of subject knowledge.

If you want me to conform, and "Be an individual.. just like everyone else", then fine; heres' my revised post:

Hey d00d, sik engine bay! I think you need a stainless catchcan to match all those other aftermarket goodies! Keep up the good work :)

man! why can't we all just help each other? the guy asked a question! at least let him know nicely to use the search button! there is no need to be so rude! :)

and nsa11n, mines near the pod filter.. it used to be near the fuse box.. so it really depends on where you have foinf space in your engine bay! lol! :( as for which way the cables go, i have also seen many variations of this setup! unfortunately i don't know the reasons for it! lol!

If you haven't already purchsed it, and you expect to do a lot of track time, you might consider an oil seperator. It serves the same function as a catch can but also seperate the oil and feeds it back to the engine. It will cost more (prob $400 all in) but provides a "closed loop" system.

Dude.. What the fuck?

Dude.. You're a jerk?

Perhaps doing the right thing and helping me put it in would have been a nicer approach.

And as for sounding stupid, i'm sure that you've asked many a question like this before, so play nice and do the right thing!

Paul,

Have a look at mine on sunday at S n S or saturday if you are going to JET's workshop

Mine does havethe oil/air seperator but its actually illegal to have it venting to atmosphere so Ive got a return line.

I got mine through performance wise

Actually, I read the "READ THIS BEFORE POSTING" topics, which tell you to do a search.

I could help you put it in, but you would probably just aggrevate me more in person.

Have you tried searching for ideas yet? www.google.com.au will help if you can't find any decent information on sau. I know catchcans have been covered on www.nissansilvia.com, which google should link you to.

It doesn't matter how wrong he might be or if he should have searched or if he doeesn't know something you do, there is no need for rudeness. Just cos someone doesn't know something doesn't make them stupid.

Here is were I put my catch can, near the pod filter. I still have to get braided lines

I is basically beside the aircon condensor or what ever it is called mounted on a bracket that I made.

This guy is the breathing definition of a f**khead.

Dont worry about him. Your questions are welcome. I would also suggest looking around the forums for other catch can threads, theres a few.

Heres my custom catch can/washer bottle setup made by R.I.P.S (www.ripsltd.co.nz) in N.Z, it completly replaces the stock washer bottle, in my opinion it is one of the cleanest looking setups avaliable, i love mine, mite even send it back to rips to get it polished for that extra bling :D, my setup is just straight from the cam covers to the catch can using -10 pushlock hose for the breather lines, 2 x -10 female fittings, 2 x -10 male weld on fittings on the catch can, a custom made alloy bung for the stock pcv valve and thats pretty much it.

Heres some pics, sorry that there not the best.

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
