This is the current setup for my catch can which I did not do, have been freshening up everything I am now up to redoing the catch can setup and this doesn’t seem right (pipe from turbo intake???)

Don’t have any of the standard pipes on the hot side any more just what you see

Pic is of my actual engine bay

 

I no it’s been talked about before

But can’t seem to find any real help to my application if it’s right or not

Just want to no how to setup properly with what I have

Any help greatly appreciated

Cheers

No just straight through into can
Why would it have pipe from turbo inlet ? Suck it straight through into turbo I would have thought
The ally catch can I have has no steel wool or anything just a can with drain plug
Have a new can on the way with steel wool filter thing
Want to setup the pipes right

The way it is set up is broadly the same as the NIsmo can if that makes you feel any better.

You put a restrictor in it so the turbo doesnt hoover the guts out of your can and taking the oil with it.

Dont use steel wool, use a sintered brass item as per mishimoto.

Routing as stated looks fine.

Catch can/oil separator system is more than some steel wool.

You really need some baffles in it, or a cyclonic effect to strip the oil out of the air, maybe fuel foam, but, whatever the design, make sure you can service/replace the "steel wool" or fuel foam, ALSO, steel wool can break down and end up on your intake, and fuel foam gets clogged with gunk.

Baffles/fuel foam in the cam covers help, ?Mines???

Yeah ok then, it is a street car
I can just put 2 bungs in so it’s not vta
So non vta should be legal ?
Even though it’s running a screamer pipe [emoji108]
(They haven’t found that yet) would rather it be legal, easy to see the catch can and never had an issue with current setup with them

Too small. Don't need breathers. As above read the oil control thread if you have a problem (maybe start half way through):

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
