Nope they are crap. Better off getting one made by LF Performance and fit Mines baffles in the cam covers.

Do it once and do it properly.

Well, I would argue with that. The Autech arrangement is similar to the Nismo oil separator in operation, but its placement gives better head for return flow to the sump. There are other arguments for the arrangement, which was praised in an article in HPI magazine a couple of years ago, but I don't recall the details.

I was convinced of the argument by Danny Fisher, at Imports 101, who understands all of the details. I bought one from Danny and he set it up for me in a two stage arrangement with a "standard" catch can, that I already had fitted - both of which drain back to the sump.

If you want to understand oil flow around the RB26 engine, talk to Danny.

The Mines baffles are good, but fitting a head drain is better.

Cheers. :D

Thanks - I will give Danny a call to discuss. I was hoping to run the top catch can only?

I was under the impression that it was a alternative to the normal storage type catch can?

I am trying to achieve the best solution against oil surge etc without having to dismantle or remove the engine. At this stage I am looking at keeping 1lt overfill in the sump, having a good breather/catch can arrangement, baffles in cam cover/head drain, oil cooler, and keeping the revs under 7500 when doing a bit of circuit work.

Cheers.

:P

I think baffles are a must and easy to do with the engine in place. The head drain is debatable and there is a massive discussion on the merits of this in the FI section.

I'm a bit sceptical about the merits of that design of catch can as it will only drain back when the engine is not under load. When you are out on the track, if you have engine that breathes a bit, then it's going to get full pretty quickly and pump a load of oil into your intake.

But if Canute has seen a better solution using another catch can along with the JJR one then it might be an option for you. Having two catch cans in the engine bay would give me the shits. Maybe Canute can post up a pic of his engine bay so we can see how it looks.

    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
    • That's not very Toyota of the Toyota!
    • Bringing an old thread back to life Looking to put some new front shocks in the r33Gtst and the KYB still look ok for a road car. Unless there are any other options aroind that price $200 a shock?  I’d like to replace the strut tops also, is this the correct KYB no. For the strut top, KSM7124?  https://www.sparesbox.com.au/products/kyb-strut-top-mount-ksm7124?srsltid=AfmBOoq-HDru8wSlLnQrhU9gCw_uYdKg8gUQzONY-EQOdnI5iXOWEUjY 341287 appears to be the front KYB shocks part no.  thanks all
