My newly acquired car has a vented catch can that is unfiltered and leaks oil from the breather unsurprisingly.

At the moment both rockers are plumbed together then into the can, the can has only a single outlet which is going to atmo at the moment. I haven't checked PCV as yet but given what I can see in this pic, I assume blocked.

I was going to re-attach the atmo connection back to the turbo intake after confirming/fixing the catch can baffling.

That got me reading.

- Do cam baffles work? The Hi Octane one's look cheap if they help. Used on conjunction with the previously mentioned can plumbed back to intake and baffled.

- Hi octane list a separator and a catch can - with a sump drain which I won't be doing. Are both needed on a street car if you have the cam baffles?

- Is something like a GZ Vacuum pump going to better than all of this anyway?
- Plan is for your basic -9 setup so not huge power and only on the street as I have a track car so does any of this really matter besides making it legal again (plumbing to intake).

Read this if you haven't already.

Get this catch can

Cam baffles are debatable.

If you want to do some more reading look up fatz version 70 gazillion for his catch can setup.

Anything concrete on cam baffles?

From a guy who installed them (not me) they have a small positive effect - not enough to fix major problems.

If you don't spend a lot of time at WOT I would just run the catch can outlet to the turbo inlet but if you get an unacceptable of amount of oil in the line add an air/oil seperator in that line.

Wish it came in black, nothing paint can't fix.

Would allow me to ditch current catch can setup and use that space for oil filter relocation.

get it powdercoated .. best thing i did was get all my stuff powdercoated, not very expensive, looks good and 3 x as tough as paint

Not very expensive vs a can of primer and a can of satin black from bunnings?

I wouldn't mind having the twin turbo pipe done also. Want the bay to be mostly black/stealth.

Wonder what the arc box would look like black.

1. No, not really. They don't add much.

2. If you don't have a sump drain you have to drain the catch can itself which is annoying. The separator doesn't need draining which makes it easier.

3. Probably but the merits of all this stuff are debatable.

4. The problem comes about with long periods at full throttle and full revs with cornering forces thrown into the mix. Not something you should be doing on the road.

A small amount of blow by will carry a small amount of oil out of the breather of the catch can. Which makes a large amount of mess.

The alternative is to scavenge it through the turbo suction (This is what Nissan does) which puts it back through the inlet system. You get oil in your inlet this way but it needs to quite a bit to be a problem.

At the end of the day if you are happy with the Hi Octane separator I would run that. If it helps I have one at home I no longer want.

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.

      You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.

      Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
