Most catch cans only have 1 inlet 1 outlet, so for the ones where u need to attach 3+ hoses to it, do u just use a T piece etc?

The ones we use have 4 fittings, 2 inlet, 1 drain (outlet) and 1 filter. There is no reason why you couldn't use a T piece although a Y piece would be better for plumbing. :)

Even with the pictures im still clouded as to which way i should use mine  

I found this photo, what does this setup offer?

This looks llike the 100% plumb back alternative. It is a little hard to see the PCV pipework, but I suspect that both the inlet and oulet for PCV is plumbed to the can. Certainly the inlet to the turbo is plumbed back, so it would makes sense if the PCV was similarly plumbed back.

Why are you still clouded? :(

For what it's worth here's my setup....figure out which one it is . Remember most bought catchcans have 1 inlet and 1 outlet the inlet should feed to the bottom of the can

As long as you block off the unused plumbing and fittings.  I gotta ask why though? :confused:

Well, we're recomending to block the PCV line on a vent to atmosphere setup, so if you block the plenum side of the PCV line, and use the PCV port on the side of the rocker cover, you get a very tidy catchcan setup with only one hose :(

This is the style of catch can we use. http://www.gcg.com.au/catalogue/Oil%20Filt...tor%20round.jpg

It has the 4 fittings;

*2 inlets on the side at the top (we run a piece of pipe to the bottom and then cover them with stainless steel wool, inserted via the large air filter fitting.)

*1 drain (outlet) at the bottom (we put a tap on this, so we can open it and drain it)

*1 filter on the top

This setup is the same as mine, it still vents to the plenum via the PCV valve when neg pressure is present in the plenum and vents via the catchcan to the turbo intake pipe when pos pressure is in the plenum....only diff is my catchcan is on the oposite side to shorten the tubing and looks tidier. There is no venting to atmosphere....it's on my street car....and legal :D

Yeh sweet that sounds perfect

Only thing is i want to block the PCV valve, seems to have all benefits and no disadvantages from doing so

So whats the best way to block the two holes/hoses? Im assuming just cut the hose going from the plenum to the rocker cover, and screw a bolt into the hose holes

i went to power diggers workshop in ingleburn today and the owner told me that the boost pressure source could be teed from the vaccum hose that runs from the throttle body to the air con canister.I didnt question it because ive had one on the car in that exact same location ever since i bought it, it had just been capped which means it can be located even closer again.:cheers::(:mad::mad:

A question about my proposed setup for an oil catch can.

1.In this picture you can see the pipe that goes from the plenum to the rocker cover.Now if i put a aftermarket pcv valve in the middle of this hose so pressure only travels to the rocker cover and not backwards to the plenum is this allright to do?

The catch can is rigged up the same as the one in the picture.

What i was thinking was that by putting the valve in there it would only flow air when on boost and when off would eliminate oil travel to the plenum when off boost.And the catch can setup should pretty much take care of the rest of the oil blowby on its way to the intake pipe.

tell me if i am wrong please.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
