A rough guide to catch tank fittment

[LEE69]

Breathing these fumes in are lethal they are very toxic.
You need to vent it under the car at least

Someone as removed their puk on here, might be D.K?

 

[Mo Arif]

what I need sam is picture of how the piping is under the inlet manifold, i.e. remove the inlet manifold and take some detailed pictures, I know it's asking for a bit but it would be much appreciated.

I want to completely get rid of the PCV system, it sucks big time.

Lee I'm not gonna be sitting under the bonnet!! Lol

There's not a huge amount of fumes coming out of the can load of guys run it this way and there are a few cans on the market that vent to atmosphere, it's hard to establish the best plan of action??? Hmm

 

[LEE69]

I used it vented into the engine bay on my last car and you can smell them, your choice.
The fumes will get into the car.

To atmospher gives the cleanest result nothing goin into engine or through the exhaust system when mine was to atmospher i got no smoke at all I will be redoing it at some point but it stank the first time

 

[Pyro]

Mo I don't have the time for removing the manni there's only one or two pipes under and that's it

 

[Captain Cupra]

Yeah I have heard some fumes will be smelt in the cabin from time to time, I'm fitting my catch tank my dad fabricated for me at the weekend, will be venting to atmos via a breather filter, some guys on vortex have ran the pipe down with a filter and located it by the steering rack area so the fumes get drawn out under the car, it's an option! Like you say it is the best way as I've heard catch fumes do still disturb combustion cleanliness, how true this is ive no idea??

 

[Captain Cupra]

And Pyro, don't be lazy removing the inlet Mani takes 30mins if that, then you can refit with a phelonic gasket

 

[Pyro]

I really don't have time ATM not getting home till 6:30 then gotta cook dinner for 5 then walk the dog and buy that time I'm dead mums not well ATM so I've taken over and now the misses is injured I've gotta help her out but won't be for to long I hope. I might see if I can do it Sunday mo as I'm working saterday to lol

 

[Captain Cupra]

Bloody hell man, fair play tho, family first, respect bro!

just seated my as$

Poor excuse get out and do it, now!!!!

you promis to come to shows I'll do it tomoz

Fair deal??

 

[LEE69]

Sorry mate, can't promise that

 

[Pyro]

Well my offer stands mate I'll help as much as I can I'll see if I can get to it for you mo will I need a new gasket if I take it off?

What's s phelonic gasket? What's the pros etc?

 

[ADAM_84]

These may help.

 

[dtmwelburn]

One quick question for you guys, the "L" shaped hose that connects to bottom of manifold? Do you just blank that off?
Thanks
Dan

 

[Phillc]

I have removed all of the PCV system and the puck thing, all you need is a hose (19mm) from the outlet on top of the oil filter housing to the catch tank, one hose (19mm) from the cam cover to the catch tank and one (19mm) from the outlet from the catch tank to either (A) the TIP or (B) to atmosphere, if B as near the bottom of the car as poss as the fumes WILL get into the car and are as Lee said very bad for you, i did vent back into the TIP but after seeing what was still getting past the catch tank i now vent to atmosphere. Any nipples left unattached under the inlet manifold blank them off. Job done. Dont forget to check the catch tank now and then and empty it.

Just for your info THIS is my guide to fitting.

What's s phelonic gasket? What's the pros etc?

A phelonic gasket is a gasket that replaces the standard inlet gasket that is made of metal fibre construction, the phelonic gasket is made of a non heat transferable material that enables the inlet manifold to remain cool and not conduct the heat from the head.

Pros to this is that the inlet stays nice and cool allowing air not to be heated up within the manifold before it enters the engine obviously improving torque, it's also slightly bigger and spaces the manifold off the head increasing the manifolds volume which does have a positive effect, biggest gain tho is air remans cooler and denser, newsouth say 30 degrees cooler.

I've run one now for a year and I noticed a better response throttle wise bit more torque, and after spirited driving the manifold is cool to touch.

[Pyro]

Would tee deflected air not make the engine hotter tho pulling the timing??

 

[Captain Cupra]

No as the ecu takes temps from the temp sender located on the inlet manifold, the engine won't get any hotter than normal the heat just won't transfer to the inlet manifold, there are systems in place to cool the engine (coolant system) if you have an adequate intercooler setup you'll have no timing pull issues anyhow.
