Hey guys just a quick question for the tech heads.

Can I run an open to atmosphere with this style of catch can...

with a breather on the top next to a hose, and the other hose on the bottom.

Because I often see a open to atmosphere setup with two hoses either at the top or bottom with the breather totally separate. And was wondering is it an issue to have one hose at the top, and one at the bottom.

I will run it with steel wool style filter inside as well.

Just looking for some input.

Hey mate i run the same setup a similar setup as to what you are after just minus that bottom feed

i have a hose from one rocker cover breather to the other than one to one of the catch can fittings and

a filter of the second fitting works well for me.

so you could buy a different style of can or plug the bottom fitting and get you desired result

another can would be easier if you havent already spent your hard earned....

Just my 2 cents

Yeh was thinking the one hose option, but was more wondering if 2 would work to increase flow from the different ports on the rocker covers.

This catch can is available fairly cheap, and I like the idea it is open-able

The bottom fitting should only be used as a drain because when the can starts to fill with oil it will be unable to breath.

2 pipes at the top should be connected to your cam covers.

pipe at the bottom should drain to your sump.

You can leave a pipe off the top, but expect your bay to be covered in fine oil mist very shortly.

doing that just loops crankcase pressure...... you need some sort of breather either to turbo inlet, pcv+turbo inlet or to atmosphere

assuming that breather to the turbo inlet is still connected...

Having said that, I vented my catch can to atmo because that turbo inlet pipe was pushing oil into the turbo on hard accel/cornering...

i.e. your catch can isn't do its job correctly.... baffle it with stainless steel mesh....

plumb back the catch can, atmo vent is stupid.. stinks in summer, and makes your engine bay all slimy

To add a little perspective, there are those who think, spending money on big efficient IC's and premium fuel... then ingesting your own det inducing oil mist under WOT is mindless too.

Some ppl vent their catch cans with a hose 1/2 down the car to stop oil engine... but it can make the rear bar oily.

umm no, the oil isn't being pumped from my catch can, if my motor was breathing that much I'd be worried.

This is a picture of the line you need to block off if you're doing track work:

otherwise the oil in the rocker covers sloshes to that side on hard right hand corners and pumps oil into the turbo inlet.

If you have the pipe venting the oil fumes out ot the atmosphare you will lose abit of oil and will have to do some regular top ups.

Mine was like that so I just took it off and reconnect the hose how it should be like standard.

Do what Brockaz said in his first post.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
