hey guys i know its been covered alot

heres a pic of my setup i kno its a cheap catch can but i just wanted to try this setup before spending some money on a nice neat one

i have 2 90degree fittings off the rocker covers goin into the catch can then near the end of the drivers side rocker cover i have a T-piece which i know its ilegal but it hides down behind the motor and vents to ATMO will this work fine do you think

heres a pic

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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
