Hiya,

Catch can i fabbed today.

3 inch tube split in 2 halves, then adding 80mm flat section to expand the volume and allow for weld on fittings for the hoses.

Has a hole in the base to allow for drain back into the sump.

Has internal baffle to for oil mist to collect on inner baffle, didnt use the metal scourer stuff in the stocking as the oil drains back into the sump so if anything would happen to the stocking or scourer it would end up in the sump..

here are a few pics of it so far, its blasted ready for the powdercoating

yet to do :

Weld on fittings for breather lines and drain back

Powder coat it

nice work mate, cant wait to see it finished...

I just want you to make me a copy of all of this stuff your fabbing!!

haha soon soon, i havent touched a welder in a few months, since the one i was using went back to its owner :)

this particular catch can has given me some ideas on the internal workings of the washer bottle catch can in one. so hopefully i can get one of those working soon.

hehe funny you mention the washer bottle/catch can combo...been wanting 1 of those for a long time now...

here's some pics of 1 if you need any ideas

I'd definitely be interested in one of those if you got around to making 1 :devil:

AHAH!!!

the hardest part of it was seperating the 2 parts, now on theirs they make 2 cans and then weld them together ..

that should make it easier, just uses more material.

Cheers for that JAR

Dont forget that in a road car the catch can cannot vent into atmosphere, hence no filter at the top.

yep thats right Charlie.

1 in - 1 out and the drain.

The Rips style would be a little messy to plumb back, but not impossible

Edit : that R33 pictured is setup wrong all together :D - kinda defeating the purpose

last pic, rocker cover still connected to the intake pipe.

lets it draw air from the filter on the catch can, plus would let oil mist go that way as that would be the easiest path for it - rather than going through the catch can first

yeh i noticed that too, if that pipe to the intake is blocked it would be okay yeh?

yep, that little one that loops over

still lets some air into the plenum if you leave the pcv open though- only on idle though

Actually that pipe is a bit of a trick lol, i had nothing to block up that breather with so left the standard pipe that normally goes to the intake pipe on but blocked up the end of it (the hole in the intake pipe was blocked up aswell ofcourse), i have since got a rubber cap to block off that breather.

Thats my car by the way :), basically my setup is just the two breather pipes coming off the cam covers going into the RIPS catchcan, everything else was blocked off, my setup is illegal in aussie from what ive read but you could always just weld another fitting onto the catchcan and run a hose with a pcv/one way valve back to the intake manifold to make it legal over there, would be easy enough.

You can see in these pics how that breather was blocked off

ahh yes

tricky tricky :blink:

few little extra additions in there now too - nice

hehe, cheers :), should have another new addition in there soon, ive got a hks 3037 pro s turbo kit on its way from japan :D

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
