Hey everyone, just been tearing down my rb25det to change a few of the gaskets and modify a few things. One of those things was adding a catch can. But I’ve run into an issue. My idiot self thought that the breathers were just screwed in.. even the slightest bit of research shows that they are intact not screw in but pressed in. I’ve already bought all the fittings for the system. So now I’m just wondering if anyone knew any good ways to remove the fittings? I’m in the Geelong area of Victoria if anyone knows someone specific, if not then just the sort of business that would be able to help me out with that?
 

My idea after getting them removed was to tap the remaining holes and possible get them welded on too? Thoughts on this are welcome as I’m sure more than one person has been through this.

Well, they are just pressed in, so they just get pulled out. You have to twist and wiggle.

I am absolutely unclear on what you mean by this. If you want to change the fittings, there are dedicated press in AN fittings that people use expressly for this purpose. Available at most places where people sell this sort of stuff for these sorts of cars/engines/projects. Like Raceworks, EFI Solutions. And eBay. And Aliexpress.

ah okay, i was mainly asking because i saw somewhere that you have to heat them up or something to remove them.

and tbh i wasnt aware you could buy press in fittings and the main reason i bought the thread in was because i though thats what the oem ones did anyway and i thought it best to try and utalise the ones i have already bought

I've recently removed mine. As mentioned if you can twist them to get them moving they come out pretty easy after that. If you're having trouble, stick something like a screwdriver or socket extension through the hole to use as a moment arm to get them spinning around.

Also as mentioned, many companies make press-in adapter fittings like so: https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/an-rocker-cover-breather-adapters/

      Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.

      Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys

      Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
