Hey guys I got given this catch can and yes before you ask I have done a search, just wondering why it has 3 ports out of it, I supose its not a catch can but a oil sperater, anyway what do you guys think and what is the nipple at the bottom for? should I turf this and get something else?

two on the top for "intake" and bottom for releasing gases and such out I believe. most guys just run a tube out underneath the car.

wont all the oil just drain out of it then and if you run the pipe up then down the air wont go thorough the oil would it?

Two of the ports are for as discribed the top of the covers, 1 side for the top of the covers the other plumbed back into the intake, the bottom one is for a drainage of oil. There is a big thing about baffling inside the can too to make it well more effecient in its design of what its for. Usual trick if you can open it up and place steel wool inside a stocking then place the stocking inside the can will help with its efficiency in a big way

Plenty of topics on this search (catch+can) or oil/air seperator for more information

Unless your car is blowing a large amount of oil my suggestion would be to plug that lower hole.

just run it as a std catch can(with the wool inserted) and drain it from that plug if it starts to fill up

      Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.

      Tomei gasket

      Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.

      And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?

      Hr34 fuel pump not turning on

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The answer is to get a hold of the wiring diagram, work out what voltage is supposed to be where, when, and then work out why it is not there, then. I can't speak to the HR34 stuff, because I have never paid any attention to the NAs. There is a possibility that the turbo diagram will help, but it could also be different - depending on whether there is an FPCM on the NAs.
