Hiya,

Catch can i fabbed today.

3 inch tube split in 2 halves, then adding 80mm flat section to expand the volume and allow for weld on fittings for the hoses.

Has a hole in the base to allow for drain back into the sump.

Has internal baffle to for oil mist to collect on inner baffle, didnt use the metal scourer stuff in the stocking as the oil drains back into the sump so if anything would happen to the stocking or scourer it would end up in the sump..

here are a few pics of it so far, its blasted ready for the powdercoating

yet to do :

Weld on fittings for breather lines and drain back

Powder coat it

nice work mate, cant wait to see it finished...

I just want you to make me a copy of all of this stuff your fabbing!!

haha soon soon, i havent touched a welder in a few months, since the one i was using went back to its owner :)

this particular catch can has given me some ideas on the internal workings of the washer bottle catch can in one. so hopefully i can get one of those working soon.

hehe funny you mention the washer bottle/catch can combo...been wanting 1 of those for a long time now...

here's some pics of 1 if you need any ideas

I'd definitely be interested in one of those if you got around to making 1 :devil:

AHAH!!!

the hardest part of it was seperating the 2 parts, now on theirs they make 2 cans and then weld them together ..

that should make it easier, just uses more material.

Cheers for that JAR

Dont forget that in a road car the catch can cannot vent into atmosphere, hence no filter at the top.

yep thats right Charlie.

1 in - 1 out and the drain.

The Rips style would be a little messy to plumb back, but not impossible

Edit : that R33 pictured is setup wrong all together :D - kinda defeating the purpose

last pic, rocker cover still connected to the intake pipe.

lets it draw air from the filter on the catch can, plus would let oil mist go that way as that would be the easiest path for it - rather than going through the catch can first

yeh i noticed that too, if that pipe to the intake is blocked it would be okay yeh?

yep, that little one that loops over

still lets some air into the plenum if you leave the pcv open though- only on idle though

Actually that pipe is a bit of a trick lol, i had nothing to block up that breather with so left the standard pipe that normally goes to the intake pipe on but blocked up the end of it (the hole in the intake pipe was blocked up aswell ofcourse), i have since got a rubber cap to block off that breather.

Thats my car by the way :), basically my setup is just the two breather pipes coming off the cam covers going into the RIPS catchcan, everything else was blocked off, my setup is illegal in aussie from what ive read but you could always just weld another fitting onto the catchcan and run a hose with a pcv/one way valve back to the intake manifold to make it legal over there, would be easy enough.

You can see in these pics how that breather was blocked off

ahh yes

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
