I recently bought a good catch can for my RB20 that was previously on a SR20... has two barbs on the can, one being of a smaller bore than the other.. I was curious if I need to make these as big as the ones on my cam covers..? was thinking of having both entry holes on the can the same sizing as the covers and have them service a cover each, then put another hole into the can for the return ( to plenum or intake pipe, whichever would be best ) any suggestions people..? would be much appreciated

the standard return pipe going from the cam covers to the intake as well as the one between the cam covers have restrictors in them. the restrictors in both from memory looks to be around 8mm so dont be too worried about the size of your hoses, as long as theyre bigger than 12mm they should be fine but keep in mind that you want the velocity inside the catch can as low as possible so if you can fit the hoses to be the same size as the outlet that would help.

unless you're running a bigger turbo, have lower than normal compression or have a bit of an oil problem i'd be going with a single hose servicing both by just running one hose from the exhaust side cam cover.

Sweet, I dont have much blowby, the cars done 110k and never gone over stock boost but will be putting on 2530 soon.. just measured the barb ID and one is 11mm and the other 7mm.. what would be the best course of action..? increasing barb ID and having both cam covers T'd into one barb with an equal outlet sized barb or going with a barb for each cam cover and fitting another barb for outlet..? I have also put in some S/S scourers, in some stocking material, into the tank to catch more oil.. thanks for your help guys, just keen on answers to these questions and I'll be set :cheers:

      Not too sure just yet, want to have a go at doing what I can myself, but to start with want someone to cast their eye over it tell me what needs doing to get it running and back on the road, so anyone with great overall knowledge would be ideal.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I personally would go with cutting out the rubber. Then deal with getting sleeve off separately. Rubber can be painful to cut, it loves to jam up cutting tools. I normally have success with drill bits, deburr bits, angle grinders, jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and never forget... fire. Obviously different tools won't work in all locations you're trying to work with, and you need to be comfortable with each. You personally may be happy slowly slicing it out with a razor blade, if you are, go for it with one too! Feel free to wait for others to weigh in also on their thoughts.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana · Posted

      So ... I got everything disconnected and started dropping the frame. Three of the four mounts started to come down but the fourth one (the one with the nut that gave me all the trouble) won't budge. The inner metal sleeve stays up tight against the chassis rail although the outer part of the mount drops a bit (and can be levered quite a lot more) but it's just stretching the rubber bushing. So I reckon there's some serious corrosion inside the inner sleeve and holding it tight to the lug at the top of the bolt. Tried everything I can think of so far: penetrating oil, whacking the top of the sleeve to vibrate it and wedge a screwdriver blade in there. I also tried to turn the inner sleeve a bit by hitting it with a chisel at the bottom. It's stuck solid. What do you think about cutting the rubber with a blade so I can drop the subframe around it anyway. Then worry about getting the inner sleeve off after? Will that work? Is it gonna give me even more problems?

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      Steam valve seals are usually responsible for cold start smoke, it goes away once engine warmed up. Disconnect it let engine breathers and let it breath freely, see if problem goes away after a short drive. Also check to make sure engine oil drain pipe is not blocked or kinked.

      Haha thanks! Yea I'm moving over from 2x 1000cc jets pre throttle over to 6x 190cc direct port jets and 1x 500cc pre throttle jet.  Direct port comes with all the advantages you would expect, except that pre throttle does cool down IAT'S more. That's why my direct port nozzle placement is closest to the plenum as possible in the runners to allow the air more time to cool before being sucked in. I'm also putting that one 500cc pre throttle jet to help with more cooling. It's a hybrid system. There's a lot more advantages to moving over to a PWM solenoid with a constant pressure system vs my old PWM pump setup, but I'll get more into that once I'm done converting everything over. The ricer in me is excited to see SS tubing all over my manifold though!
