hey,

sorry to make a thread but Question will get lost in the wasteland and want a clear answer.

now my old rb25 had oil blowby at the track (herd this is what rb's do at high revs) ok that fine.

bought rb26 rocker covers and mines cam baffles.

fitted these (removed pcv valve due to 26 covers not having them)

fitted plazmaman

plumbed my catch tank into the two breathers on the back of the covers with a kn filter on the tank.

now, as soon as these were fitted, i had oil vapour blowby coming from the catch tank setup.

any ideas on what to do?

nah just ripped the old motor out..

new one will be tuned tomorrow..

but wanted to know if not having the pcv valve is what caused the so called blowby?

The PVC valve allows pressure out, not in ... so I don't believe that is contributing to your problem. I would take a compression test. If compression is leaking past your piston rings, that'd be the contributor.

Hard to diagnose over the internet in any case. :D

Actually, when you say you removed (didn't use) the PVC valve, did you still have the hose from the plenum to the rocker covers (just without the PVC valve). If you did, then thats your problem. On vacuum your sucking oil vapours into the plenum ... and on boost you'd be boosting air into the engine, pushing the oil out any exit, ie the catch can.

:D

nah, plazmaman and rb26 rocker covers dont have any nipples/ports to have a pcv valve..

so i was running in theory a "blocked off" system.

on a rb26 the pcv valve runs from the drivers side rocker cover breather to a nipple on a metal bar next to fuel rail.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
