Catch Can Specs/exh. Cam Gear

[copycutter]

Hey all.

As topic suggests I want to get an oil catch can on the car soon. My Power FC has just arrived so i'm going to be organising getting it tuned real soon too. I currently have the oil line out of the head plumbed into the inlet like standard, haven't checked how bad the blow-by is.

Would it be worthwhile to get one of these asap or just put it on the eventual-to-do list? And if so, on nengun.com theres a 9mm one and a 12mm one. I was just going to get the "no frills" nengun one cos its under 100 bucks delivered rather than the five thousand dollar greddy one.

Also, I just noticed the HKS exhaust cam gears are way cheaper than i thought, should i throw this on too for the extra 5rwkw or does it add a great deal of labour time getting fitted?

Its just relatively stock at the moment. I'm hoping to be able to crack 180rwkw with the FC on. At the moment its just got front-mount, 3" exhaust, plazmaman plenum and a real dodgy idle problem.

Cheers,

oil catch can good idea to keep oil out of intake... intercooler and turbo.. works the treat,

the cheap ones are ok but u will need to rig up a sperator unit in it if it is a open box ot tube.

make sure u hook it up right as well

unless there's something wrong with your engine causign excessive blowby, then a catch can't won't do much anyway

i'd say that if you are going in for a powerFC tune, then this is the perfect time to chuck on a cam gear and get it all tuned up at once...

put the catch can down on the "to do" list for a later time...

I don't think you need one until you have an aftermarket turbo and I think the cheap ones are crap. If you are in Sydney and you really want a cheap one, I am throwing mine away shortly when my new is made because I think it would be unethical of me to sell it to someone.
