Trust Oil Catch Tank

(Oil Breather Tanks)

Generic kit. 500ml. 6 or 10mm versions available. Please specify when ordering. Kit includes one piece of hose, hose bands, generic stay.

which is better?

they both cost exactly the same.

[Driver]

I think.. You have to choose the one with the right size hose (6 or 10mm) which fits yours?

Correct me if im wrong

[Jimbo2000]

hmmmm

i dont know :embarrased:

anyone out there know?

33gtst??

[Tosh]

ask Carlo, he's got one

We just put new hoses on his though because the trust hoses were shithouse

[Jimbo2000]

cheers mate

[Tosh]

no worries...

would be worth getting some new hose from UAS for it too

Jimbo, I actually thought it was larger than 10mm for the bigger pipe diameter option.

Basically the Greddy unit is available to suit N/A or Turbocharged cars.

From memory, it was available with either 9mm or 15mm hose, the larger diameter being for use with turbo cars.

booritz:

check this page,

http://www.greenline.jp/catalogue/bcpartli...ntake=FI#engine

...down under the head gaskets and injectors, there's 2 types, the 500ml squarish one and the 1000ml round one.

since i'm a sceptical guy i thought i should go for the square one for 2 reasons.

1. i've seen the square one before and thinks it looks the money and

2. i dont trust something when it boasts more yet is cheaper than the lesser product.

you know what i'm saying...

ps.

i'm actually buying from Nengun as its cheaper and they support SAU, just using this page as it explains it better

Jimbo: I know the ones, I had a good look at both while I was in Japan.

I have only seen the squarer versions on sale here.

I just checked the Greddy offerings and I stand corrected, the round shape tanks have a 9 or 15mm option, the squarer tanks have a 6 or 10mm option.

Bare in mind the hose that comes with the kit in garbage and probably wont be enough for you anyway, as tosh said, UAS has some spring reinforced hose that perfect for such an application, or you could go the braided option which is considerably dearer.

[Jimbo2000]

yeah, will probably take both of your advice about UAS after inspecting the hose quality..

what do you suggest then mate, the 10mm square or 15mm round

i'm so confused :confused:

[Blitz]

I know plenty of heavily modified cars (such as Carlo's ) running the square tank.

Alternatively, If you want to buy a brand new Cusco kit for your car I have one at home

[Tosh]

go the square 10mm Jimbo.....

no need for a 1000ml one

[Jimbo2000]

cheerio's ladies

blitz if you want to part with the cusco for 9000yen then its a deal, rather give you cash then some dude i dont know. (but i got a feeling its worth more than that, right?)

[Blitz]

Correct, and you have to remember the prices on greenline etc dont include shipping or duty.

email me if you want to discuss pricing

I have the square one in my 33 gtst

It came with 15mm connection

The hose that comes with it is generally too short

I found to buy new hose, I could only get clear 16mm that is oil resistant.

When you use the 16mm hose the earl hose clamps that come with the kit will not fit. too small in diameter

So I end up buying s/steel braided 3/4 hose 6 feet long and 7-off speedflow hose clamps total cost was about $130

If you use 5/8 braided line which is the closest to 15mm to suit the oil catch can, it will not fit onto the pipes on the top of the engine, that is why I went for 3/4

there is 2 ways to plumb up the hose to the catch can

I decided to replace all the hoses on top of the engine so it all matched

I removed the metal tee piece of pipe from the exh cam cover and reused it.

I then got another 90 deg bend the same as the inlet cam cover from another engine and inserted it into the exh cam cover. I then joined the 2 cam covers together using the tee peice. Ran 1 pipe to the catch can, then ran 1 back to the inlet where the factory one originally joined.

I have attached a photo that will hopefully make it a bit clearer.

it is not the best picture, but it is the only one of got at the moment.
