Oil Catch Tank Question

[joehirth]

Going to put an oil catch tank in my car, going to make a custom TIP - so not going to make a spout on it for the breather, I am thinking about putting the rocker cover breather into one port on the tank and the bottom end breather (which as standard connects to the rocker cover breather) into the other, when doing it like this do I need to have a breather or will it be fine without?

You need a breather.

Ok so I use the OEM 'Y' piece which connects the bottom end breather to the rocker cover breather and then take that single pipe and put it in a catch tank and put a breather filter on the other output on the catch tank it will work?

Also PCV help might be nice what parts do I need in order to remove this?

Yeh you can put a breather on other end of the catch can...i just ran a pipe of the catch can and vented it into the wing

PVC valve...just need a small straight siliconse hose..the vacum line that connects to pvc valve just block it off....

Connection to block up to a t-piece.

One hose from valve cover to t-piece.

One hose from t-piece to catch tank or poiynted down at the floor.

Block the 8mm hose from the underside of the inlet mani.

Blank off 19mm connection on TIP.

Job done.

Ok and i just remove the PCV valve and replace what was there with a piece of silicone piping - any ideas on diameter?

19mm IIRC
