correct me if i am wrong but i beleive they are an out let for the oil vapours for when the engine is working hard, the breather is there for the vapours to go into but if it is not the vapours recirculate and can cause pinging as is the case with my car.

thanks heaps for that guys...i will give the guys at GC a call...have you got any pics of yours ?? and did they fit it or did you do it yourself ?

The catch can also prevents your coola getting coated in oil. I recently got a FMIC and the old one had a black residue on the inlet side:( Which reduces efficiency of the coola. This was running only about 9psi boost. As adam says, on higher boost the problem is worse. A catch can will trap the residue (hopefully) before recirculating the gasses through the induction system. A breather will just allow the gasses to vent to atmo, which I believe is illegal (emissions), please correct me if I am wrong

They are illegal......

With or with out the little filter, if it vents to atmo. it's illegal.

Any ways, if you are getting oil in the I/C pipes from the rocker covers spilling oil and fit an Catch can, you would get a performance gain.

If you don't have much oil then the you would not notice anything.

I my self had oil in the I/C pipes and recently fitted an oil/air seperator, made a big difference (only running about 9psi)...

My 2 cent's worth.

Cheers

Rob

Yes there is usually stuff inside it, they are not hard to make, just stuff it full of wire wool scourer, the course type made from stainless (sell from woolies 3 for a few bucks) are 'supposed' to be the best, although if its in an oil catch can, I wouldnt think any type of steel wool will rust? Anyone confirm this????

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
