Hey guys, sorry to dig this thread up but just bought myself a 'Drift' oil catch can from autobarn. (Not sure if these are any good brand wise..)

It will be going on an rb20det when she is running again.

This is an installation guide for a rb25? I believe?

My question - Is it the same size hoses etc. to install this onto an rb20? And really $80 for the catch can and over $400 for hoses/connections? :/

Hi bud,

I am far from an expert on rb20dets as i have only worked on my rb25det but as best i understand they are the same for this DIY mod.

as far as oil catch cans are concerned that one you have bought is fine..... however the overkill in this instance with the $400 on all the speed fittings etc is not necessary as the catch can has very little pressure. so you could use just braided clear hose if you like, however its probably not the best material.

Now you can get proper braided oil hose from Repco or a local hydraulic supplier as long as its oil resistant other wise it may deteriorate over a long period of time.

as for nifty fifty fittings to replace your stock cam cover outlets contact this bloke on the forums - (to be advised 'waiting on a mate' to get back to me) :)

Depending on your budget you can have the catch can plumbed back into your sump so you never have to drain it when it gets full.

Good luck with the mod.

Sweet! Cheers for that man, also wasn't aware I could also plumb in back into sump.

I will be shooting that guy a pm shortly, I gather just tell him what I'm doing and what I need?

Thanks again

Yeh bud just tell him they're the cam cover breathers. couldn't think of the term when i wrote this up the other night.

And also if you are in brisbane looking for hoses try Powell behind Repco at coopers plaines.

my 32 has previously had a catch can (was SUPPOSED to be still on there when i bought the car) and im having trouble locating the pcv, is it supposed to be at the top of the engine or bottom? curently have a hose from the passenger side cam breather just hanging free currently, so will be hopefully installing a catch can in the near future, but as said, having trouble with the pcv.

Rb 20 det:

note: pcv is located on the inlet plenum.

Can $40, hose $12

Hey, with your GK-Teck cooling panel.. Did it look to you as if the flange thingo where you put the bolts through, where bent very unprofessionally?

Lol got mine the other day and it was scratched, and where it's bent looked like someone took to it with a hammer.

Was very unimpressed. :(

Ha, yes they are dodgy, but its cheap and saves me making my own.

I had to give mine a bit of a tweak to get it to fit.

Like this ?attachicon.gifimage.jpg

Looks legal, as long as that hole in the top of the can is blocked off.

Lol, mines just sitting there in a corner.. I don't even wanna put it on hahaha..

A can of flat black paint hides all. :ninja:

some inspiration, this is my engine bay & how I've set it up... simple :)

So is that both cam breathers joined, one hose from that to the can and then back to the intake pipe? Forget the PCV?

Like this?

^ factory breather joined, factory PCV still connected.

With the above setup, the catch can will only "catch/breathe" when there's positive pressure in the plenum. On VAC/idle/off boost the plenum will pull nearly all of oil vapours.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
