If your able to make it your self it will cost 1/4 of that cost. :)

~$40-50 for welding the 2 bungs in for the bov and breather then a little for the pipe (~$20) + 2 bits of silicon.

If the pipe is in 4" stainless then for a 90degree bend its around $40.

when i did mine i didn't have the catch can and i had the bov hooked up, would've been so much easier for me to make if i'd had the catch can on and the bov d/c like i do now. haha, heinsight's a wonderful thing!

Hey Ash,

Once all tuned up does yours fart and carry on with the bov blocked off?

At the moment untuned mine randomly when coming off the throttle to change gears pops and farts; drivability is fine; very little afm reversion and no stalls. I'm thinking off hooking mine up just to get rid of the popping and farting incase a mr police man is sitting behind at the time. :S

Cubes, I got my turbo 2 afm pipe on with my stocker blocked for the moment with no atmo BOV and it has a catch can installed.

I get backfiring, etc, but its a combination of my 02 sensor dead (reads like 0.02v at idle and randomly goes to 0.30 and then back to 0v while driving) and I have all those mods on stock ecu.

Kind of off topic but while on the topic of catch cans. :thumbsup:

I'm running twin catch cans temporarily to see how much it breathes. If its all good I'll be plumbing it back in. :) lol Reason for twin catch cans is its not as obvious.

So far its all super clean; not a single drop or smear of oil in the can or in the pipe its self. The single 1.5mm restrictor is definitely working well. :(

Pics...

Drivers side u can see how I've T'd in to the cam cover to PCV valve. Its just for looks; the PCV is blocked off.

Passenger side u can only just see the coke bottle with the hose going in to it. Both coke bottles have a modified top so they can breathe and filled with s/steel scourer. Hopefully I can't plumb it all back up as I really don't like catch cans due to being a big hit on the defect list.

If your O2 sensor is reading lean constantly unplug it.

Its telling the ecu the mixture is lean so the ecu dumps in more fuel. Your better off with it disconnected. From memory with it disconnected cruise afr's are around the 13:1 mark which isn't so bad.

Apart from the usual sponge and spray over at car lovers/BP no. :)

It looks clean as I just put it back together; I had the head off to be sorted as well as head oil restrictors and new turbo bolted on.

Give it a month and it will look normal again. :thumbsup:

Speaking of O2 sensors, I filled up last week and got a solid 350km out of her, I think mine could be on its way out....lol I could've sworn i replaced it about 2 years ago. How often have people been changing thier 02 sensors??

nah mine's fine apart from stalling after a while of driving and it defintiely runs richer but once tuned she'll be all sweet, i'd probably run the bov in your instance, u dont need any more response, hehe!

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
