Oil Catch Can Diy Installation

[ZRBE]

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.

Hey guys I just put a catch can in just wanted to get your thoughts on how I have done it. I did read all the threads regarding this install but I just want to be sure.

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.

[nardo-R33]

Can u set it up this way an still legal ?

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.

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

A can of flat black paint hides all.

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.
