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,

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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.

      I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.

      I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
