Is this catch can going to be big enough for my setup welding two -12 fittings on it one in middle and one at bottom and 2 lines from yhat running to top of sump.

Its a split tank that was already on the car it has window washers and oil the other side as you can see .

Fitted my greedy oil cooler on drivers side today had to do a little modification to mounting bracket because i no longer have stock intercooler ,still need to fit up all the lines I had to remove stock bovs

Now in the instructions for the kit it has trust bovs fitted the stock bovs will not fit with the cooler I yhat location seen as though im running a single turbo do I need 2 bovs ? Or just fit 1 in its place if so what type im not into the wanky bov noise .....

I got the stock bovs to fit but outlet pipe sits abit low and inner guard fouls on it cant win ha ha

You only really need to drain it to the sump if you're going to be doing some circuit work. In that case two -12 breathers of the cam covers to the top of the can and either one -8 or bigger drain at the bottom of the can to the top of the sump. If you want to let the crankcase vent from the sump you can add a second line from the top of the sump to the top of the can. Even if you don't plan to do track work I'd be welding all of the extra fittings to the catch can and sump while it's apart so if the day does come where you need them it's an easy job

Also keep in mind if the car will be doing a lot of street k's the drain is going to mean more frequent oil changes due to all the condensation on short trips.

Hey guys been very busy with my new buisiness but head is complete sitting in nz ready to send to rob amd my bottom end is also complete rob is just waiting for head

With fuel setup is a 2.5 litre catch can good enough for my powrr figure with 2 bosch 044s ex and 1 internal ?

Rob has fitted 2 -12 fittings to sump so I can run one to bottom of catch can and one to middle of catch can and I already have my 2 -10 lines running from top of catch can to each rocker cover

The size of of the surge tank will have have no impact on how much power the fuel system is capable of,it is only going to effect the surge resistance of it.

Having said that I would say it will be fine. You can get away with no surge tank depending on fuel tank level.

Can't wait to see this run soon!

Ok im noe up to the stage of doing fuel setup and new electronic gauges what are some good gauges to purchase that are well priced Im looking at removing the stock ones in the centre of the dash and replacing with new ones well 2 of them anyways

Problem with small capacity surge tanks is they heat soak quickly, my custom one is 8.5ltr and I am looking into a new bigger one as it starts to heat soak fairly quick

If not track car twin intank it with either 044s or Walbro E85 pumps and carry 1/2 tank min for track use and you won't have an issue

Breathing from the sump is ok for a street car but if you do it for a track car the catch can will quiet quickly over fill and make a mess of your engine bay, especially if you have breathers in the can it self, run a line from the bottom of the catch can to sump by all means but put a one way valve in it to allow oil in to sump but not vise versa

Better off having the return from the rail going straight back to the main tank not into the surge.

2.6ltr is fine if you do it this way, you just have to make sure the intank pump/s out flow the main pumps

That's the same sort of useage I'm doing, so no 2.6 will heat soak quiet quickly and you be pumping heated fuel into the engine, 2 x 044s will turn the fuel around a lot faster from the engine then the 1 044 intank can flush the heated fuel from the surge tank

2.6ltr is fine if you do it this way, you just have to make sure the intank pump/s out flow the main pumps

Should do as there is no pressure.

New setup will be biggest electric Weldon out of main tank to surge and a Weldon mech pump to the rail, woo.

I've got the weldon 2025 as my main and the walbro E85 as my lift, I hate the Weldon, it is the loudest farkin thing I have ever heard :(, the pump is rubber mounted the bracket that holds the pump is rubber mounted the plate that the bracket is mounted to is rubber mounted and there is a price of -12 Kevlar braided between the pump and surge tank, am going to custom a 10ltr with twin walbro E85 intanks, cause street car > race car

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
