Hey all I’ve recently decided to install a catch can and want to know if the setup I marked in the picture below is correct. So pretty much you just “bridge” the catch can between hose that goes from pre turbo pipe to the rocker cover? 

Which catch can is also better - the baffled ones without the little air filter on top of it or the ones with the little air filter on top of it?

is a three port catch can really necessary? Because all it does is keep the oil out of the little hose that goes between both rocker covers? If i do go three port, is the setup marked on the pic correct?

finally, does anybody know the size of the rb25det rocker cover breather hose fitting in case I need to change the fitting on the catch can to match the rocker cover fitting. Thanks

The first question is what is the function of your catch can and then the rest will follow.

But catch cans should not vent to atmosphere, should be baffled and at least 2L

Function is I want to keep oil out of my intake and intercooler piping!

So why isnt it good for them to be vented to atmosphere? All I can think about is that will be decrease pressure and cause a vacuum leak.

also by 2L do you mean a 2L catch can container? Does it really matter how much volume the catch can could hold, besides having to drain the oil less frequently with bigger catch cans?Thanks

Venting a catch can to atmosphere is illegal, if that matters to you. Having it plumbed back into the intake, the vacuum helps the catch can work better. 

Venting a can to atmosphere won't cause a vacuum leak. 

Some motorsport events require the catch can to be a minimum of 2L, I can't think of any other reason to use 2L other then more frequent changes as you said.

^^^what he said.  You want it baffled because that will help to ensure most of the oil stays in the can rather then get recirculated through the intake. Venting to atmosphere can also result in unwanted smells in the cabin.  And it works better if not vented. If you are not going to track it and you don't have a big problem you could have smaller  than 2L but be aware that some of the products you see on ebay turn out to be ridiculously tiny when they turn up in the mail. If you don't have a major problem then you can pipe both the cam covers in one hose to the catch can.

This is my personal set up... its a non return vented to atmosphere set up, which is the cleanest possible way for your engine. All of the returns and holes have been blocked. U can get -10an press fittings from Raw Brokerage and the elbows and such anywhere like amazon.

Wow, that went downhill fast. I haven't been on here much but really miss the respect.

 

Anyhow, for a simple connection just run a 16mm hose off the pigtail hose that goes to your inlet. Run some wire inside the short pigtail shaped hose and you will find a restrictor. Deleting the restriction is one of the reasons people have too much oil being sucked in to their air/oil separator. On a stock turbo too much oil fumes is not a problem. Once you add a bigger turbo obviously there is more suction, therefore more oil being sucked into the inlet, separator/catch can or not. The restriction must stay in place.

Connect this new hose to the inlet of your oil/air separator. Now connect the the outlet of your oil/air separator to the intake. Done. Hardest part is finding space in the engine bay. Also, notice the use of the words 'air/oil separator. Not catch tank. 

 

Yes, I know people will roast you for not doing a search but we are all here to help. As my Old Man used to say, 'not asking questions is what makes you an idiot'.

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
