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).

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
