This is according to the cacth can for sale thread a while a go that you show us to get it for $120!!!

Anyway really appriciate that, nice one too but now i have a little problem, i had mine fitted at BMT for 2 months now and i don't think it working. I inspec it this afternoon and the thing still as new as ever.

I then remember Mike ( the guy who sold it to me ) said something about there are a few hose need to be block not just the one that feed oil to the turbo alone.

Anychance if you could post some pics of your engine so i can see which needed to be block?

Thanks heaps.:P

Hey West, sorry about the late reply just did a 14 hour day not to mention the rest of the week...anyway the hose you need to block is between the rocker cover and intake plenum it is plumbed into the side of the rockercover and is about the same diameter as five cent coin. It is about level with the fuel pressure regulator and is 'S' shaped. You will find a valve were the hose connects to the rocker cover which needs to be blocked. A screw the same size as used for your speaker is a perfect fit. The valve closes when the engine is on boost so your catch can only is working when you have + pressure. Also idle will be upset untill the valve is blocked as the engine can suck air through this hose and through the catch can filter without the airflow meter seeing it.....which upsets your mixtures.

Yes. That's the one. The one on top of the rocker cover that feed oil into the turbo.

Anyway that S shape hose is the only one that you need to block? The hose that i was talking about is the one on top of the rocker that goes down to right side of the engine ( when you stood in front of the car ).

Thanks.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
