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

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
