I recently bought a good catch can for my RB20 that was previously on a SR20... has two barbs on the can, one being of a smaller bore than the other.. I was curious if I need to make these as big as the ones on my cam covers..? was thinking of having both entry holes on the can the same sizing as the covers and have them service a cover each, then put another hole into the can for the return ( to plenum or intake pipe, whichever would be best ) any suggestions people..? would be much appreciated

the standard return pipe going from the cam covers to the intake as well as the one between the cam covers have restrictors in them. the restrictors in both from memory looks to be around 8mm so dont be too worried about the size of your hoses, as long as theyre bigger than 12mm they should be fine but keep in mind that you want the velocity inside the catch can as low as possible so if you can fit the hoses to be the same size as the outlet that would help.

unless you're running a bigger turbo, have lower than normal compression or have a bit of an oil problem i'd be going with a single hose servicing both by just running one hose from the exhaust side cam cover.

Sweet, I dont have much blowby, the cars done 110k and never gone over stock boost but will be putting on 2530 soon.. just measured the barb ID and one is 11mm and the other 7mm.. what would be the best course of action..? increasing barb ID and having both cam covers T'd into one barb with an equal outlet sized barb or going with a barb for each cam cover and fitting another barb for outlet..? I have also put in some S/S scourers, in some stocking material, into the tank to catch more oil.. thanks for your help guys, just keen on answers to these questions and I'll be set :cheers:

      Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!

      Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.

      Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...

      My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.

      I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
