Oil catch can set up - pic request


You dont have to take the inlet mani off to do this mod but it is tight enough to get your hand in.


I was thinking and does anyone know if simply using a breather filter on the rocker cover breather and then only running only one pipe to the black breather box and then to a catch can. Would this work just the same?

One thing that I noticed when I used a catch can before and connected up both lines (rocker & black box) to a catch can was that there was a small amount of condensation mixed with oil around the rocker breather when I took the rocker cover off so basically gunk and this only appeared after installing the catch can system.

I was wondering if a small amount ofcondensation in the rocker breather line somehow ran back into the rocker causing it to mix with the oil and leave gunk. This is why I was thinking that a breather filter would stop it happening
 
^^ I was thinking this too. I was close to buying a Moroso catch can with one inlet for the blackbox and I was planning to attatch a small breather filter to the rocker cover.
 
Here is mine.
1 line in from the valve cover back
2 lines in from the back of the block.
1 line for fuel evap [my evap can is no longer =) thanks Jimbo!]

Black box has been removed and hole plugged. =)

I am not returning the vapor sludge back to the block, Ive used one of the two return lines fitted it with a shut-off valve and use that to empty the can when full.

Under front of car, this is where I empty the catch can.

here's my oil catch can set up. it has a return hose back to the sump so it basically recycles. the back of my rocker cover has also been baffled to stop oil just flowing in.

Nice set up! V-TEC ABUSER, I noticed on your build up you have an aftermarket expansion tank. Is this purely for looks or does it perform better than the normal expansion tank?

Click to expand...

the only reason i have that expansion tank is because the old one didnt fit in the gap, so the guys that did my engine just built that one for me. i really dont know if it works any better.


as for my catch can set up, its custom so cant be brought.

Sits directly next to the oil filter. Bugger to get to without taking the intake off. I however managed to get it out with everything in place...lol.
 
Follow the pipe down from the middle of the inlet manifold! You will reach your destination lol
 
^^^ You can see the black breather box to the right of the oil filter in that picture , hoses are on top of that
 
hmm i still cant seem to find mine:? theres nothing to plug it into ? ive already got something plugged into the top of that though?
