Hi guys,

theres alot of info flying around in other areas of the forum, so i wanted a place for people to post up pictures and specs of their oil catch can installation. Please keep this very on topic.

I will be modifying my system soon so ill post up results once complete.

Here is a useful thread to read up on. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ca...ans-t68174.html

Here is SydneyKid's recommended RB25 setups. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ca...html&st=20#

Thanks.

If anyone has any pictures of a RB26 with a oil catch can setup, that'd be awesome.

All I ever see is RB20's and RB25's with oil catch can setups with extreme diagrams and walk throughs.

Theres 3 that ive seen... ones the autech can that sits on top of the rb26 at the rear..

The other is one that sits in front of the battery - Blue32 had one of these

And theres another one which is an oil/air separator (nismo, non vented) that hides underneath the ABS unit...

Maybe andrew can take some pics of his current setup as from the sounds of it, its pretty bulletproof

heres a can for the 50% plumb back option:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/UNIVERSAL-OIL-CATCH...A1%7C240%3A1318

3 in/outlets, removable top so you can pack it full of steel wool (in a stocking!)

That looks like a similar design to the one that ISC sells ;

Drifters catch can of choice.

Serious note.. I run 2 as its neater, I'm not a fan of hoses draped over the motor.

One either side of the motor feeding off that sides cam cover.

One sitting in the drivers side engine mount and the other behind the A/C compressor.

Since oiling mods the cans are always empty.

An engine bay pic would not be useful as it looks like a standard engine bay. You can't see hoses or catch cans.

I'm soon to rip the cams and lifters out again so I'll grab some pics of the bits underneath the manifolds.

If you can visualise...

The passenger cam breather that runs to the inlet pipe has be redirected in to the catch can that resides behind the a/c compressor / under the exh. manifold.

The hose that runs from the drivers side cam cover to the PCV/plenum has been blocked and a T piece positioned in the middle; a hose connects to the bottom T piece connection and runs under the manifold to the engine mount where the catch can is located.

Really depends on how tidy you want the engine bay to look.

RB26dett catch can set up.

Heres a thread for the autech type over the head unit

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/JJ...nt-t166910.html

It's a sealed catch can and has no breather and so is legal thru regency (they might say otherwise, but the legislation allows oil/air separators that don't have an atmospheric vent

there is another type from nismo ;

http://www.rhdjapan.com/jdm-low/NISMO-Oil-...-Kit-GT-R-55665

Which I imagine does the exact same thing as the ISC can since I can't see an atmo vent anywhere on the it (unless I'm missing something - $800+ AUD vs $50 aud? Crikey.)

I think eventually I'll get the ISC one and the Autech can as well as drilling an oil return from the head and putting in 1.5mm stoppers in the oil channels, and a sump baffle from somewhere. That should be enough for any street car.

lol Joel, you redeemed yourself with that last line :)

seriously Damo, unless you've done what Joel and others have done in relation to baffles and restrictors, do not try this method.....2 laps around Malalla and they'll be full.

I still believe that the 2 can setup that I described earlier is still the best for no other mods to restrict the oil

ROFL!

Definitely agree. Mine has a fair bit of oil pressure over 3500-4000rpm (~90-95psi).

Without the oiling mods the cam covers were filling on the dyno to the point where I could only just see the lobes poking through the top of the oil level, oil was blowing out and filling the catch cans in no time.

After the oiling mods there's only a slight puddle of oil after a hard extended run and no oil in the catch cans. :blink:

yeah funny how quick the oil gets up there and how slow it drains back, hence why a popular mod is to relieve the oil returns in the head slightly....suppose everything helps.

Here are a couple of options that will also help oil drain back while the head's off....welsh plug replacement at the rear of the head and fed back into the sump (just to help speed things along).

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
