Who setup your catch can?

PCV is still in tack, but you've blocked off the breather line to the intake pipe!

How is the fumes suppose to be sucked out when the plenum pressure is +ve?

Plump it back so the 3rd line off your catch can is going back into the intake pipe!

haha...

I set up the catch can so that could be the reason why it's wrong?

Currently, the 2 hoses off the top of the rocker cover is going to the catch can and it pretty much ends there, venting to the atmosphere. The previous hose back to the inlet has been blocked off.

I always thought that was what was suppose to happen so oily air is not introduced to the engine again?

Should I route one line back to the inlet? ie, the catch can has 4 points, 2 in from rocker cover to the top left, 1 vents to atmosphere (bottom line) and the other (top left) I should route back to inlet?

Thanks in advance and thanks all for confirming S2?

I checked the timing belt/cam cover and there's a lump on the left side facing out. This is S2?

Its a S2.

In regards to the catch can, seems fine to me. I have mine set up the same.

PCV intact because blocking it caused blowby,

Rocker covers vented to an atmo venting catch can, and the breather --> intake line blocked. Was told to use that by a very knowledgeable SAU member too.. Been fine for me.

Looks like its still plumbed, but in the line that goes from exh. rocker cover to the intake i put a custom alloy bung where the brass restrictor was.

So its a Series 1.5? Did the 1.5 come with a series 2 motor or has everyone in this thread with a 95 had an engine swap?

Series 1.5 came with series 2 motor. Also has the higher sitting series 2 spoiler (the one in your avatar). As far as I know they were all 1995.

Hey johnnillicte,

My current setup seems to be working fine. Although what you have said seems to make sense too. What are the benefits of plumbing back into the inlet (beside legality). Will it scavenge more from the rocker?

What's everybodies thoughts? Quite a few mechanics have seen the engine bay but no one has commented, surprisingly?

Cheers,

J

On idle the PCV will open up and stuck air from the cam covers into the plenum, saying that, it will be also sucking in from the vent you have on idle. This will disrupt engine idle as this air isn't being read by the AFM

If you have the catch can plumped back into the intake, on boost you will be drawing more blow by out of the cam cover as it will "suck" from the cam covers.

To further enhance the efficiency of the catch can, just fill it up with steel wool.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
