Catch Can Setup Quick Help

[SargeRX8]

Its not fitted in the car atm. It was fitted on my old car venting to atmo with the two lines from the intake and exhaust side going to the can and the other outlets blocked off. I want to run it recirculated here. The blue line replaces the filter and plumbs back into the intake pipe.

Will this work? My main concern is the suction side is too close to the two input breather lines so alot of oil might just go back up into the intake. I could jam something into the bottom of it to push all the mesh shit up. Should I just run atmo and be done with it? Maybe flip the can upside down, put a nipple in the drain hole and cut off and thread a bolt into the old nipple?

The picture is to scale and a little technical.

Lol @ the picture is to scale.

Its hard to avoid getting oil back into the intake. Even oil mist will build up on the pipework over time.

Are u trying to run it to the pcv valve on the inlet manifold?

Try to mount the can lower then where it breaths into the inlet. And run the hose up hill to the intake. This will stop any liquid oil running into the inlet.

It's been covered before - not more than 2 months ago, complete with pics.

1. Remove the hose between the left (passenger) rocker cover and the turbo inlet.

2. Run a hose from the left rocker cover to the catch can.

3. Run another hose from the catch can to the turbo inlet.

How simple is that?

To reduce the risk of oil fumes being carriewd over to the turbo - the general purpose of the catch can - fill the can with steel wool. This provides a surface to assist with getting the oil out of the air.

I'm leavin the pcv alone and just trying to do basically as above has posted but I don't get it. I think I need to flip my can as the points in the can are too close. This is the closest to stock setup but at least it will remove some of that gunk. Gonna be fun cleaning the oil out of the cooler setup.

I just want to ask, if I run the setup the way described above, is this for a sealed catch can? Ive got a catch can with a breather filter ontop and I have a feeling this will draw in unmetered air while connected back to the intake.

I can do the following:

Connect it with the filter in tact, intercepting the pipes as you've stated and see if it breaths in uncounted air

Block the filter with a blanker piece and connect it as advised above.

Connect intake side to one inlet on the can, exhaust side to the other then block the return on the exhaust side and plumb it back into the standard intake infront of the turbo.

Any suggestions?
