Just thought I would post some pics of an oil catch can I am making that is vent to atmosphere but soon wont look like it...

It is a piece of 90x90 MS RHS that has been turned into 70x90mm (not so rectangular though) so it clears cam covers...Its fitted to strut brace with a couple of aluminium brackets profiles out of 10mm plate...Not finished yet but here is some progress shots...The idea is to have a high flowing oil catch can but with the vent filters hidden from view.

Filters will be covered with aluminium shroud that covers them so they can't be seen...let me know what you think...

Am even going to fit a dummy hose back to the intake pipework for that 'EPA approved' look...will be painted in 'Highway Patrol invisible matt black'....If asked it will be my '10% ethanol fuel blend enabled polariser not tested on animals' fitted to the car when I bought it thing...

The ultimate covert..

The PVC is blocked off but a hose is still connected for looks. A T piece runs to a catch can hidden under the inlet manifold.

The pipe that generally connects to the inlet has been modified and plumbs in to another catch can that sits behind the a/c compressor.

hehe cubes...

your engine bay looks exactly like mine minus the dirt :D

i got pulled over for a "random inspection" and was congratulated in being one of the responsible import drivers that leave their cars standard...

he did not know he was looking at a 270rwkw rb30det hehe :(

I love stockness...

Two covert set ups, im still toying with the idea on making mine a little more inconspicuous but with the highmount, gate and fmic piping i dont think its really worth it :D

Paul i like your idea about the 10% ethanol fuel polariser :)

    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
    • Echo the awesome sentiment 👍 Definitely a car worth saving. Looking forward to seeing updates as well.
