GXE23 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 G'day everyone,I've been up ALL night long mind f**king myself as to HOW TO INSTALL an OIL CATCH CAN.I understand that it's a relatively simple job, just time consuming at best. HOWEVER, I am absolutely and entirely LOST as to what happens with the Air intake part of things (does the catch can need its own air filter) and even as to whether I'm going to HAVE TO modify somewhere along my air intake to allow a clean flowing air or "vacuum" as many people have mentioned. WHICH THEN leads to me wondering will my Air intake sensor be stuffed up if I cut holes or put filters in my Air box. As you can see, I am totally MUDDLED and have spent the last 4 hours searching and searching for a STEP BY STEP process for installing a Catch can in a N/A RB30 Sedan... If anyone could make simple step by step Instructions, from begging to start and explain to me as to whether I even NEED to put an air filter/air vacuum for a catch can to work? Pictures and VERY simple instructions/terms if at all possible would mean the absolute WORLD.Thanks a million!

Ben C34 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) Just take off existing breather pipe that goes from rocker to plenum, and add catch can inbetween. simples. Or better yet, dont worry about it and sell it.

GXE23 Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Just take off existing breather pipe that goes from rocker to plenum, and add catch can inbetween. simples. Or better yet, dont worry about it and sell it. So everything I'm reading in relation to the air intake / pvc sensor etc, is to mainly do with Turbo'd vehicles, and doesn't apply to me? Just as simple and straight forward as in this video which I've just stumbled on?: ^^^ He talks about air intake as well and that "You'll know what to do when you get to that part", WHAT if anything do I need to do in regards to the intake/''that part'' of the installation etc? Or is it purely as he states; just so he can access what he's doing more easily?

Ben C34 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Dude, it is so easy.... One end of can attaced to rocker cover , other to plenum. this photo shows the hose that is replaced, the catch can hoses go here. when you take that hose off, attach the catch can hoses to the two spots. that is where the blowby that might have oil mist in it gets sucked into the engine, so that is where the catch can has to go to catch it! If you are still confused, I can't help you !

GXE23 Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Cheers a million guys, you've made it really as simple as it should've been from the word "go". Obviously it was due to Turbo'd vehicles/installs I was reading and getting confused, as there seems to be just a little more work involved when installing a catch can on a Turbo apposed to a N/A / Standard RB30.Just to completely clarify, I've circled what I have to remove and place the catch can 'in line' between these two fittings and instead use the catch cans braided hoses. The circled hoses are the ones I'll be removing when installing the catch can, Yes?IF this is NOT correct, can someone PLEASE circle and upload on the same image what I have to remove?
