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.

Check here. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...mp;hl=catch+can

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.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
