where is it i cant find in fs section

[Cubes]

Also.. In his sig.

Here ya go > Silicone Inlet g/b.

That quote is okay if in mild steel & even better if in stainless.

[GME_OVA R34]

cheers yeh its in stainless steel

[Cubes]

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.

btr quoted me 180 an i think ase do around the same price

[mr_rbman]

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.

[Cubes]

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

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.

[GME_OVA R34]

very clean engine wat did u use to clean it?

[Cubes]

VHT Universal Aluminium that looks near identical to the paint nissan use on the plenum etc.

[sskylinee]

far out thats one clean engine bay

do u clean it regularly joel?

[Cubes]

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.

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!

[rad100]

dude thats a nice engine bay! also how do u know if ya o2 sensor is bung? and r they cheap?

cheers
