I usually get rid or block off the pcv vlave. I run two number 12an fittings off the top of my valve covers to a catch tank with a breather filter on top. I have noticed no oil in the can.

I dont like the pcv working because it makes the intake so dirty. My setup has always worked providing the engine does not have excessive blow by.

Guys,

I've read this thread and the other ones and still confused about how to mount catch can in my series 2 r33. So many methods and Im simply lost. Can someone please provide a few clear photos on how this is done effectively, the kit they used (inclding fittings etc) please?

Also, what if the catch can is one that can be opened to put steel wool or whatever in it to act as baffle (like the kits JJ sell), are they still ok and effective?

Keen on getting one on before heading onto the track.

Much appreciated guys

Cheers

Amir

My catch tank made by a user on here. Blocked pcv vent to Atmo style.

Push in fittings to the cam covers with speedflow fittings

My PCV is plumbed into the manifold as well, bit hard to see in this photo

Theres both options for you anyway

Thanks guys. So both those methods have the intended effect? Do you guys have steel wool in the catch can?

Kerrod, any chance you can post up a pic from the passenger side looking towards the intake plenum?

Cheers for the help

Amir

Not sure if its in this thread or another one, but someone has mentioned wrapping the steel wool in a good quality stocking to stop it from seperating.

Alternatively just buy a baffled catch can. Mine is baffled, havent had an issue yet. Doesnt appear to have burnt a drop of oil

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
