Sorry to go off topic but can anyone confirm the pcv thread size and type?

http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/valve-suit-nissan-200sx-skyline-gts25-rb25de-sr20det-p-1479.html

Reminiscing about RB's

 

I accidentally kinked a the head vents once to my can, lots, and I mean lots, of white smoke.

 

Maybe the motor is breathing that heavy that it is "pressurizing" the engine because the little outlet at the filter is causing a restriction, maybe, maybe not.

I would try and strip as much oil, via a good AOS system and plumb it back to the intake to "create a vacuum" senario thingamajig in the sump.

Plus "notracecar" so "notemmisionsdefect".

Little update:

 

i have 3 catch cans now as follow

 

one 3 port 60ml baffeled and filtered which has rocker going to it on input and output goes to another catch can which is 2 liters .

2 liters breath to air and it is not baffeled or filtered

 

third catch can is pcv in and out to manifold

 

smoke has stopped and car feels much stronger, touch wood

 

would you put wool wire in the 2 liter one to help with filtering?

 

no smell no nothing and well happy

Only if you use stainless as steel will disintegrate after a while.

If ports are not marked they are presumably all the same.

Its a pity the baffled and filtered on is so small as I would consider 2L a minimum size.

I use the stainless coarse pot scourers. I wouldn't think rust would be an issue though as it is going to get coated in an oil mist.

Touch wood nothing so far

 

the pipe that came with moshimoto was cheap as it looked like a water hose and after little drive it heated up and car was smoking like hell

 

i was so annoyed until i realised that was the culprit

 

put a stainless steel braided and good now

 

only issue is the pcv valve is not fully inside the rubber gourmet and if hose is pulled or moved it moves out a little bit and that too me creates boost leak under boost as boost from manifold escaps

 

can i put black silicon on it?

You buy a new grommet. They are the same as many other cars, take yours to a car parts shop of your choice.

Seems a bit excessive to me.
Any oil leaks?

Only 2 ways it disapeers.

Burning (multiple cause possibilty) or leaked (seals , gaskets, filter)

Motors always burn some but when its usualy in excess can be from but not limited to ...oil passing the rings (wear , wrong gap, worn ringlands) , intake taking in oil (breather setup & pcv from blow by) , head gasket leak (doughtful) , turbo seals.

Personaly if it was 200ml per 1000miles id be thinking its fine but others may say different.

a bit excessive? 1ml of oil per 1mile of driving....

Apologies for getting into this thread so late.

Firstly, would everyone please stop referring to this device as a "catch can", it is an "oil-air separator".

Secondly, the apparent installation is a bit iffy. Surely a simpler method:

1. Remove hose running from Ex rocker cover down to the turbo.

2. Leave hose connecting In rocker cover to Ex rocker cover

3. New hose from Ex rocker to Separator

4. New hose from Separator to turbo.

5. Stuff steel wool in Separator to act as a "seed" for the oil vapour to condense onto.

No need for a third connection on the separator - block it off.

Its a catch can unless its some how baffled at least. Read all of the thread - you will find that the vast quantity of oil requires more than a simple solution in this case - otherwise you are just pouring oil into the turbo intake.

thanks mate, i suppose in stage 4 you are refering to recirculating the vapor or oil into intake before turbo ?

mine is blowing to air so don't want any sh*t in my intake

 

only thing i have not checked is return on turbo, can leaking return line cause any blue smoke or crank pressure apart from obviously loosing oil as it returns ?

 

I am planning to change the gasket again in case that is the culprit as there is hardly any oil in catch can or intake pipe so can only think leaking oil from turbo, drain or sandwich plate ..

Dunno if you have already done this but get your car up to 100 or so in third gear - downhill would be better but not necessary - and then take your foot off the gas for five to eight seconds and then floor  it. Do you get a cloud of smoke out the back and if so what colour is it?

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
