by proper do u mean legal way or proper way for not having any crankcase vapour going back into your engine? proper legal way is to have it entering your catch can through on of the top outlets then back into before the turbo for the outher outlet. and the drain at the bottom should feed back to your sump so u don't have to ever worry about it getting full..

um.. sure? lol.. well i dont mind if its not hooked up2 the sump.. the rest sounds ok tho.. :banana: def want it the best way.. i find it hard for a pic for an rb20 :D( its connecting up to a d1 catch can.. has 2 dash fittings at the top.. and a drain plug(currently closed off) ..

haven't got a pic of one for an rb20 but if u dont want any going back into your engine which is best for performance then u need to block off the one going to your inlet manifold first of all otherwise you'll get an air leak and won't run properly. then either drill some holes in the top of the catch can and feed the 2 outlets from your rocker covers into the 2 fittings. or somehow join the 2 outlets on the rocker cover so that they end up into one of the fittings on the catch can then stick a filter onto the other catch can fitting... hope this helps..

haha aww sowie brother.. but u have an rb25 it just sliped my mind.. mine 100% plumbed back.. an legal ftw.. anyways heres a pic.. i made everything from scratch.. bought it all from bunnings rofl.. catch can made out of pvc sleeve and fittings ect.. baffled and stuffed with scourers ect.. and the hose.. and Hose clamps.. WOO sexy time.. mite go a 16mm hose dia.. an fittings wen i end up with a good lookin catch can ect :P

im about to install mine. yours looks nice and neat. but where did the second hose go?

or you only had 1 inlet/outlet

It goes to the return on the intake pipe.

Probably better to set it up the other way... as far as i can gather anyway :S

    • Ended up spending a WHOLE day yesterday cleaning and rearranging my shed.  Due to the aforementioned disorder, my shed is as cluttered and confused as my brain. Again, because of said disorder,  at any one time there are 5 projects on the go at once and because they're still on the go I don't put everything away so I can "get straight back to it" which rarely happens.. So anyway,  I bought a couple of cheap 2mx2m all steel "pallet racks" to put in my back shed.  The idea is to then take pretty much everything out of the main shed that isn't car related. Most of the garden and building stuff is now booted out to the back shed and onto to the shelves where they belong! There's still more rearranging and reallocating to do and it's still a bit busy in there but it's a massive improvement on how it was previously. I've discovered floor space I forgot I had...  For those that have fully dismantled a car before will understand just how much space it takes up!  Particularly panels, bumpers, engine/trans, etc.  I've got stuff hanging on every available wall to get it up off the floor!  This is not exciting content for a blog but has certainly made the shed feel like a more work ready space now!
    • Updating results from our ATR43SS-1 turbo in T3 .63, OEM bolt dump pattern. Not a big number but pretty sweet for a stock Rb20det. Car's managed to pull 220rwkws at 20psi, perfect boost control internally gated with EBC and excellent mid top end power band as they usually skydive after 5.5K. Usual bolt on supporting mods and inlet plenum and factory location exhaust manifold. Pump 98 fuel was used (Ron 93).     
    • Yeah, well, it's not as though anyone is ever going to buy one of those noisy f**kers and put it into a new installation when there are better pumps that are near silent for less money from Ti.
    • I'd suggest having the engine builder listen to it, especially if they assembled it, and minimise how much you run it in the meantime. It may have a serious issue like a big end bearing from the description and I assume the rebuild was not cheap
    • Quite right, typing without checking, it is an 023 which was effectively the replacement for 040 (not that I could find either of them on the Bosch motorsport AU site), and it has a mesh inlet at the bottom of the pump rather than a separate filter
