So these are the ones toward the front of the engine that connect to the two V shaped nipples on the front of the manifold. They flow OUT from the crankcase to the manifold?

So these are the ones that connect from the intake tubing through a plastic baffle and then into the valve cover? Where/when is the air recirculated back to intake then?


So splice a can in between each of the red hoses pictured here:

I'm confused now :confused: lol

go to any auto parts store and ask for Clear PVC fuel line, you should then be able to buy it by the foot and reinstall it. make sure it is stiff enough not to kink.

Ron:

You are going to have to share notes with me when I get back. Let me know how those catch cans work out for you and how much they fill over say a month. I never had one in any of my other turbo'd cars, but I didn't have crap in my intake either. I did have a variety of other issues, that were heat related though.

I sure will.. If I can figure out how to hook them up lol, everybody seems to install them differently, JBs right there has a PCV port blocked. I saw a TT car at baker that had the vacuum inlets (Vshaped) on the manifold blocked too.

Note: You want one that is baffled and/or filtered to actually trap the oil and not just recirculate it...

You also want steel braided hose lines so they don't collapse under vacuum.

Probably not a big deal on a N/A car, BTW.

yep I took that into consideration, I am looking into these:

42 Draft Designs

or

Radium Engineering
Universal Dual Catch Can Kit

Jordo right here is pretty knowledgeable :icon17: ... how are we supposed to connect them?

^^^ Now of that I'm not sure off the top of my head.

I think previous page someone posted a diagram...

Those cans are really nice! Especially the ones at second link.

PCV line, your red hoses! I'm interested to see how much you collect too. Had one on my TT 350, didn't collect much at all. Get that 42design can, looks like a great design with the screens and all.

I posted that diagram but it turns out it seems to be wrong lollol.. Yep that is the one I am leaning towards.

Both cans look good, read the other one as well!

Yes, or more precisely, the manifold vacuum's negative pressure sucks air from the crankcase via these lines

The other pair of tubes that go to the sides of the intake tubing feed fresh air from the intake to the crankcase.

The V-shaped nippes on the front of the manifold. The manifold vacuum that sucks crankcase gases into here is generated by your engine's desire to draw intake air. So all manifold vacuum inlets are effectively engine-breathing-air inlets. Anything you stuff in them gets burned by the engine eventually.

Yes. Ideally a can with some sort of baffle/mesh system. The V-shaped ports in the center would be the clean side(s) of the can(s), then other end is what you want the baffles/mesh to trap stuff from.

I get it now, thanks wstar! Repped.

Does anyone happen to know if the PVC tubing in the Z is 9mm or 15mm ? Greddy cans have to be ordered with one or the other fitting size.

Go with the 9 mm.

Thanks !

I thought this was a rather funny product description for a Megan Racing catch can setup available at a site for enjukuracing:

"The Megan Racing oil catch tank will hold this oily by product by removing it from suspension within the air intake stream. By doing so, horsepower is then increased by eliminating the engine."

On a side note those little Circuit Sport 250cc cans also available at that site look pretty cool but I don't know about those top mounted filter deals. Seems it would then be an open air system hence losing vacuum/pressure.

Pretty convinced I am going to run two cans though for the stock setup (no M370, no FI) ... I think personally it makes sense to do so as the motor was designed to breathe the way it is setup so I don't know about blocking anything off and forcing it to breathe differently.
