Hey guys, I am trying to figure out the plumbing on my vented catch can. I'll be honest it was a bit of a spontaneous purchase and I didn't think it through properly and should have bought a different one but oh well.

 

My plan is to run an an12 barb on top where the vent to atmosphere filter used to be, and return that air to my inlet before the turbo. 

 

I'll block one of the two inlets off and run a line from my rocker cover to catch can. 

 

Also it doesn't seem like there is too many baffles inside? It's hard to see... has anyone had any experiences with these Raceworks catch cans?

Is there something in particular you are wanting help with? 

The only question I can see in your post is, has anyone used a raceworks catch can, but catch cans all pretty much work the same way and as RB's gunna RB, chances are we all have some form of catch can lol. 

I am using this one - https://raceworks.com.au/catch-cans-tanks/catch-cans/external-breathers/1-6l-black/

I have both breathers plumbed into the front inlets. 

The I have one of the top ones blocked off, the other into my inlet. 

Being on e85 and a street car i breathe a lot and despite the low baffling it catches most of it. 

Fills it on a night of roll racing.

Hey mate just seeing if anyone can spot any issues with my set up before I install it. 

 

And looking for a review on the catch can but another person posted it

I would be more concerned with the size and if you're planning to return it back to sump.

RBs don't just "breathe" oil vapours, they regurgitate oil instead lol.

Return it back to your sump if it's a decent build.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
