wht510 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Not really. They go back in their because it was the easiest way from factory. It's a proven advantage to vent them somewhere else. My RX7 has the breather go into a bottle... The optimal setup is a 2L+ bottle, with steel wool baffles and a drain back to your sump. Oil vapour = lower octane of your fuel and grime up intake. Which we all know is an issue on VQ motors. When I ripped off my intake it looked like someone had poured a bottle of oil through the intake. (Given it probably had never been pulled off its whole life of 200,000km) Yeh, i'll probably do that, or just get a silicone joiner the same as the black pipe, just a little more dollars. Just to agree... They go back in there because it is part of the 'environmental protection' of using all vapours through the engine etc.! Even fuel vapours that come out of the charcoal canister get re-used into the engine. Optimal setup depends on your sump size, what boost you are running (which to some extent has an effect on blow by) and how efficient the scavenging of the 'catch can' is. Draining back to the sump is good, but you don't want to pressurise your sump, so use suitable PCV valves, and vent the 'cleaned' air back into the factory position. Then less oil gets into the intake and you don't increase your chance of detonation. The S14/S15 SR20DET has a great factory 'catch can' built into the rocker cover. The design means most of the oil gets returned to the sump, and it still vents back into a 'factory position' after the AFM and before the turbo. Works excellent.

JayM35 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Yeeep. I'll probably just end up getting a nipple put onto this intake, as i'm not after performance on this motor. Oh and this afternoon got bored, so pulled some peices out of the interior and washed it all. Pulled seats out and vacuumed, cleaned up amp wiring and put it under the boot floor. So gross what appears over time, the cup holder in the middle was a mix of tobacco and sticky spilt Rockstar/Monster, including under the slip-in peice.

StageIan Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 De-badged my stag on the weekend, looks nice except for the miss matched colour. I was lucky with mine, it came with car mats both the stag type & other so the carpet is as new.

bbenny Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Fitted the throttle body... redet the ECU. Car wanted to stall a few times on the first drive, but after restarting the car it seems good. Drove around this morning for a bit and no 4wd light yet... which is a good sign so far. Fingers crossed.

bigkevracer Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) Big day today. Headed out to AM Performance, who are planning to start producing M35 exhaust systems. Donated my car as the development car, should be getting underway in the next couple of weeks. Then headed around to my dad's workshop and put the car on the hoist for a service. Was very interesting, gearbox and engine took no where near as much oil was I was expecting even though they were drained. Have found a couple of things that need fixing through. Rear disks need machining and rear pads need replacing, and need a catch can. Couldn't find any reason for the weird noise that I get occasionally when I lift off, so sounds like new blow off valve too... And after all that, I forgot to put on the intake spacer I got from Craig! Edit: And no bloody LSD!
