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.

      Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?
