catch can

if i have a filter which air passes throgh before it reaches the atmosphere, how can it be illegal (from an emissions perspective)

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Haha, a filter is not the same as a closed loop circuit which burns the oil vapours. It will be considered an oil breather, which is illegal, If you don't believe me ask the cops when they pull you over:D

and heres the cusco version

i got the r33 gtr one fits nicely $135 plus $45 postage from taka

to buy from perth i was quoted $250-$270.

[skyzerr33]

and again

[VSPEC32]

Do you know if they had an R32 GT-R version? If so, I'll prolly get that instead. As long as it comes with all the pipes and clamps etc.

Doh! Was looking in the Sard section. Will check Cusco now for it.

Any air that enters past the air filter must enter the engine or be filtered by the carbon canister. Thems the rules. ADR 33 if memory serves me correct.

This is how I saw Cosworth do it Sapphire on a Rally car. Get rid of the oil and just let the air through.

Looks good too....

Air breather's work great, but there not legal, and the catch-can's work much better than the normal PCV:D

[adam 32]

yeh but the oil vapours arent being released into the atmoshpere, thats my point

ive been pulled over before and theyve said nothing

[N I B]

Open loop systems even filtered have been illegal since 1976.

[Jay95R33]

This might be a stupid question, but what the hell

Is there any particular reason for having clear hoses going to the catch can?

Is it so you can see if there is a blockage, or is it just rice

[skyzerr33]

just rice

its what came with the kit

[Jay95R33]

Ahhh cool,

Thanks.

You could use some garden hose if you wanted

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Adam, As Steve said, there illegal, just most cops don't know what there looking at:D

Clear hoses look cool, and you can see whether the catch-can is working by the amout of oil on each hose:D
