correct me if i am wrong but i beleive they are an out let for the oil vapours for when the engine is working hard, the breather is there for the vapours to go into but if it is not the vapours recirculate and can cause pinging as is the case with my car.

thanks heaps for that guys...i will give the guys at GC a call...have you got any pics of yours ?? and did they fit it or did you do it yourself ?

The catch can also prevents your coola getting coated in oil. I recently got a FMIC and the old one had a black residue on the inlet side:( Which reduces efficiency of the coola. This was running only about 9psi boost. As adam says, on higher boost the problem is worse. A catch can will trap the residue (hopefully) before recirculating the gasses through the induction system. A breather will just allow the gasses to vent to atmo, which I believe is illegal (emissions), please correct me if I am wrong

They are illegal......

With or with out the little filter, if it vents to atmo. it's illegal.

Any ways, if you are getting oil in the I/C pipes from the rocker covers spilling oil and fit an Catch can, you would get a performance gain.

If you don't have much oil then the you would not notice anything.

I my self had oil in the I/C pipes and recently fitted an oil/air seperator, made a big difference (only running about 9psi)...

My 2 cent's worth.

Cheers

Yes there is usually stuff inside it, they are not hard to make, just stuff it full of wire wool scourer, the course type made from stainless (sell from woolies 3 for a few bucks) are 'supposed' to be the best, although if its in an oil catch can, I wouldnt think any type of steel wool will rust? Anyone confirm this????

    • Ahh got it. Well maybe install a drain for the catch can somewhere down low and accessible like a wheel well too....
    • Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf
    • I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf  
    • yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things
    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
