by proper do u mean legal way or proper way for not having any crankcase vapour going back into your engine? proper legal way is to have it entering your catch can through on of the top outlets then back into before the turbo for the outher outlet. and the drain at the bottom should feed back to your sump so u don't have to ever worry about it getting full..

um.. sure? lol.. well i dont mind if its not hooked up2 the sump.. the rest sounds ok tho.. :banana: def want it the best way.. i find it hard for a pic for an rb20 :D( its connecting up to a d1 catch can.. has 2 dash fittings at the top.. and a drain plug(currently closed off) ..

haven't got a pic of one for an rb20 but if u dont want any going back into your engine which is best for performance then u need to block off the one going to your inlet manifold first of all otherwise you'll get an air leak and won't run properly. then either drill some holes in the top of the catch can and feed the 2 outlets from your rocker covers into the 2 fittings. or somehow join the 2 outlets on the rocker cover so that they end up into one of the fittings on the catch can then stick a filter onto the other catch can fitting... hope this helps..

haha aww sowie brother.. but u have an rb25 it just sliped my mind.. mine 100% plumbed back.. an legal ftw.. anyways heres a pic.. i made everything from scratch.. bought it all from bunnings rofl.. catch can made out of pvc sleeve and fittings ect.. baffled and stuffed with scourers ect.. and the hose.. and Hose clamps.. WOO sexy time.. mite go a 16mm hose dia.. an fittings wen i end up with a good lookin catch can ect :P

im about to install mine. yours looks nice and neat. but where did the second hose go?

or you only had 1 inlet/outlet

It goes to the return on the intake pipe.

Probably better to set it up the other way... as far as i can gather anyway :S

Disappointing we just didnt get to show it     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
