This is the current setup for my catch can which I did not do, have been freshening up everything I am now up to redoing the catch can setup and this doesn’t seem right (pipe from turbo intake???)

Don’t have any of the standard pipes on the hot side any more just what you see

Pic is of my actual engine bay

 

I no it’s been talked about before

But can’t seem to find any real help to my application if it’s right or not

Just want to no how to setup properly with what I have

Any help greatly appreciated

Cheers

No just straight through into can
Why would it have pipe from turbo inlet ? Suck it straight through into turbo I would have thought
The ally catch can I have has no steel wool or anything just a can with drain plug
Have a new can on the way with steel wool filter thing
Want to setup the pipes right

The way it is set up is broadly the same as the NIsmo can if that makes you feel any better.

You put a restrictor in it so the turbo doesnt hoover the guts out of your can and taking the oil with it.

Dont use steel wool, use a sintered brass item as per mishimoto.

Routing as stated looks fine.

Catch can/oil separator system is more than some steel wool.

You really need some baffles in it, or a cyclonic effect to strip the oil out of the air, maybe fuel foam, but, whatever the design, make sure you can service/replace the "steel wool" or fuel foam, ALSO, steel wool can break down and end up on your intake, and fuel foam gets clogged with gunk.

Baffles/fuel foam in the cam covers help, ?Mines???

Ok great thnx guys good to hear setup was sort of ok to start with
Except no baffle
This is the kit I have on the way
This should do the job then yeah? Twin filter/baffle
Any other recommendations??

Yeah ok then, it is a street car
I can just put 2 bungs in so it’s not vta
So non vta should be legal ?
Even though it’s running a screamer pipe [emoji108]
(They haven’t found that yet) would rather it be legal, easy to see the catch can and never had an issue with current setup with them

Too small. Don't need breathers. As above read the oil control thread if you have a problem (maybe start half way through):

Retain window washer and it fits perfectly:

I'm not personally sure mate. But the JJ boys have always been very helpful to me, I bet if you call them they'll help you out.

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
