so how ive got it set up is good for now or should i run the 2 rocker covers into one outlet on the can and the second as a breather

my motor has no blow by what so ever i just removed the stock intake pipe for a metal 3inch and it doesnt have a nipple for me to connect the hose back on it

cant excatly have filters on catch cans in VIC hence why i hid the hose

ok so maybe i should have both hoses goin to the catch can but have a T-piece at the rocker cover and have it going in front of the turbo then or i can put a filter on the breather hose i have

WHICH WOULD BE A BETTER IDEA

CHEERS

unless i can find a washer bottle and catch can in one

Post #94, that's the one I just had made: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/385051-pro-fabrications-fabrication/page__st__80

Speak to Brad (Risking) thumbsup.gif

Easiest way is either tee the hose between the rockers and run that to the inlet on the catch can and then run the other inlet on the catch either into your intake pipe or vent it.

correct!

i run mine to intake pipe. but if you vent it, make it hidden so it "looks" legal lol

They don't breath enough air have a look at the outlet of the catch can , i bet it's smaller than one of the rocker outlets , they choke your motor to death.... Spend the money and do it right the first time

When i removed my original hose that went to the intake i noticed that there was a reducer inside, would be lucky if it was 5mm, more like 3mm ID so a single 10mm ID hose will breath more than enough.

so cause its vented does that explain why the idle is a little weird and its sucking through the hose thats the breather

you need to block your PVC pipe otherwise at idle or any time your not boosting it the engine will breath through the PVC and then through the catch can and through that hose hidden and that Air is un metered

do a search about PVC and correct catch can setup but once you block the PVC you will be fine.

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
