Catch Cans - Again

[Busky2k]

No worries RedDrifter, I misinterpret too.

pplo, looks like your diagram is correct. Thats how I would have it set up. Block the PCV & inlet to turbo. If your catchcan has 2 inlets, I'd run 2 hoses from either side of the cam cover instead of just 1 side in your diagram.

Cheers!

Has anyone used something like described here? (air compressor filter)

I guess you'd want it bigger, but atleast you can see how much oil is in it, and it looks tidier and not as obvious (in my opinion) to a big stainless canistor.

I have also read (I think in that thread...been reading a lot) that you can/should run 2 catch cans? Is that right?

Cheers

Cheers pplo. Glad to be of some help.

eXc, thats a 'catch' that goes in line between your PCV on your cam cover and inlet manifold. It collects the oil that would otherwise end up in your intake manifold. You can also use it between the cam cover and turbo intake if the barbs are of the correct size.

Basically an 'inline catch can' like GReddy's design but smaller. You can't have these venting atmo.

I've got a Cusco catch can with a total of two inlet/outlets only. I guess that make it inline?? Can it be vented atmo?

If I vent it atmo will I need to place a filter on the remaining fitting?

Anyone with pics/diagrams showing a fitted catch can with only two fittings?

Cheers

U can have it either way.I had mine inline until I upgraded the turbo and intake.

its vented to atmo atm. I would use a filter as if the police see it not filtered u most likely will get defected.

As this is very illegal.

what about this type of setup using one of these small filters? cause like this the catch can doesnt seem to be all that neccessary... the few oil drops once in a while wont be so dramatic...

what u guys think?

[T-u-R-b-O]

anyone?

[Primordial]

Does anyone else with an atmo setup get the fuel/oil smell in the cabin when the car is stationary?

you should do, that is why atmo setups are illegal .. emissions

[Primordial]

That's a shame. Ok thanks for that Chris.

Hay sydkid if i where to drill a hole in the top of catch can and place a filter on top would that work for atmo setup, as i have one of those drift catch cans with only two outlets cheers.

[Primordial]

Yeah that does work for atmo setup, you can just block off the other outlet on your catch can.

Keep in mind though that you will get the fuel/oil smell I just mentioned.

[khunjeng]

ok guys

just looking at installing my catch can.

for those who have done this, I wanted to know how u blocked off the PCV and turbo lines? just some screws? how about where the PCV line goes into the rocker cover...just some kind of plug??

I will need to go them anyway just wondeirng what every1 else has done.
