If your able to make it your self it will cost 1/4 of that cost. :)

~$40-50 for welding the 2 bungs in for the bov and breather then a little for the pipe (~$20) + 2 bits of silicon.

If the pipe is in 4" stainless then for a 90degree bend its around $40.

when i did mine i didn't have the catch can and i had the bov hooked up, would've been so much easier for me to make if i'd had the catch can on and the bov d/c like i do now. haha, heinsight's a wonderful thing!

Hey Ash,

Once all tuned up does yours fart and carry on with the bov blocked off?

At the moment untuned mine randomly when coming off the throttle to change gears pops and farts; drivability is fine; very little afm reversion and no stalls. I'm thinking off hooking mine up just to get rid of the popping and farting incase a mr police man is sitting behind at the time. :S

Cubes, I got my turbo 2 afm pipe on with my stocker blocked for the moment with no atmo BOV and it has a catch can installed.

I get backfiring, etc, but its a combination of my 02 sensor dead (reads like 0.02v at idle and randomly goes to 0.30 and then back to 0v while driving) and I have all those mods on stock ecu.

Kind of off topic but while on the topic of catch cans. :thumbsup:

I'm running twin catch cans temporarily to see how much it breathes. If its all good I'll be plumbing it back in. :) lol Reason for twin catch cans is its not as obvious.

So far its all super clean; not a single drop or smear of oil in the can or in the pipe its self. The single 1.5mm restrictor is definitely working well. :(

Pics...

Drivers side u can see how I've T'd in to the cam cover to PCV valve. Its just for looks; the PCV is blocked off.

Passenger side u can only just see the coke bottle with the hose going in to it. Both coke bottles have a modified top so they can breathe and filled with s/steel scourer. Hopefully I can't plumb it all back up as I really don't like catch cans due to being a big hit on the defect list.

If your O2 sensor is reading lean constantly unplug it.

Its telling the ecu the mixture is lean so the ecu dumps in more fuel. Your better off with it disconnected. From memory with it disconnected cruise afr's are around the 13:1 mark which isn't so bad.

Apart from the usual sponge and spray over at car lovers/BP no. :)

It looks clean as I just put it back together; I had the head off to be sorted as well as head oil restrictors and new turbo bolted on.

Give it a month and it will look normal again. :thumbsup:

Speaking of O2 sensors, I filled up last week and got a solid 350km out of her, I think mine could be on its way out....lol I could've sworn i replaced it about 2 years ago. How often have people been changing thier 02 sensors??

nah mine's fine apart from stalling after a while of driving and it defintiely runs richer but once tuned she'll be all sweet, i'd probably run the bov in your instance, u dont need any more response, hehe!

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
