Sir, as what i understand from blinx set up was he T it with one of the hose from the back of the block. Check his post on page 2 of this thread.
 
ok i got it now....btw in blinx catch can what is that little hose in the middle for?
 
I thinks its a gauge where you can see how much oil are in the tank but i think its useless with bilnx set up coz it has a drainback so the oils go back to the block.
 
tagna pa lagi ko...hehe..btw have you already purchased a oil catch can sir?
 
after a couple of days my oil catch tank installed look what's inside !

it's water !
i need to drain it now as it is more than 3cm inside the can.


quick question how you can find if your pcv valve needs replacement ?
when car is on idle the hose that comes from the pcv blows like crazy !

i think is from the hot crankcase fumes that comes out from the pcv valve to the cooler oil catch tank that vents to the atmosphere !

it would be helpful if someone knows how to find out if my pcv valve needs replacement.

Good PVC, you shall hear the ticking sound when you shake it.
 
Just change your PCV valve
they dont cost much and it wont do it any harm

certain racing regulations stipulate that you must run at least 1000ml for a catchcan - the obvious reason for doing so is that so it hopefully won't overflow for the duration of the race.

I know on the original setup that I saw on the Spoon cars, the drain for the can ran to the back the car and into a sponge. That sponge would get saturated and would slowly drip during the duration of the race. Personally I don't think this is a good alternative, but I can see the validity of trying to the oil as clean as possible and 1000ml or not, it's probably going to get filled sometime during a 24 hour enduro - unless you run drainback system into the motor.

For baffling, this is why it's important to buy a catchcan that you can open up. This for example is from Megan Racing and would be my choice if I had to modify an "eBay can."

No need to weld inside, just run slash cut tubing from the feeding port to the very bottom of the can and then fill the can with stainless steel scrubbers...NOT stainless wool. Scrubbers will unlikely come apart whereas the wool is so fine, your motor is likely to inhale them IF you run it back to the IM port.

If it's venting to atmosphere, you could fill it with almost anything, as long as it's resistant to oil and won't break apart.
