advantage of fitting a catch can

[dtmwelburn]

So what use do i have for a silicon 90degree bend if im to fit straight pipe to catch can? i was told when ordering i needed one?

Ok great, understood . So where the Y-piece of plastic hose is, what happens to all the hoses from there? I think one goes to the cam cover breather so obviously we chuck that but I think that T's somewhere else also and then there's the hose from the Y-piece that goes off round the back of the engine.

you can get rid of the y piece and use a straight bit of hose, thats what i did, and fitted the two small valves into the new hose,

both one way valves on the same section of pipe?

 

[dtmwelburn]

Thats what i did they were attached to same section anyway so binned that with y-piece and got around a metre of silicon hose and cut a few sections to fit the valves between

Yea block the nipple under the Inlet manni and block off the brake booster AFTER the one way valve job done

I have 2 nipples under manifold, ive done right in blocking them both havent i??

I had a one way valve near the pcv valve and one near the y piece at the brake vacuum hose

 

[dtmwelburn]

i had one before and one after the Y piece and fitted both to new hose, i cant see it making a difference like i could prob remove one of them

 

[offitmassive]

yeh yeh, i got a black one way valve there, and there was a white one at the pcv, what size hose did you use to remove the y piece and to connect the one way valve mate??? ive blocked both nipples under manifold, thats right aint it??

 

[dtmwelburn]

i only had one :S yours a LCR? as i had two black one way valves, i used 8mm id pipe

 

[offitmassive]

nah mate, a 53 plate LC, about an inch apart, there is like 1" of pipe/nipple that points down underside of manifold, so have blanked them both....

 

[sambryant]

jamjay. the y section is removed then the t section is removed. all you have to do it blank off the brake servo hose and keep the one way valve fitted like this

 

[dtmwelburn]

did they change the piping for the facelift ones? mines not like this or is it completely engine code dependant

 

[offitmassive]

heres a pic, the right nipple removed for now as in the middle of blanking it off

??? Have i removed the wrong pipes??? the one on the left had an elbow in it,i cant remember what was in the right pipe but it all connected to the pcv piping system

 

[offitmassive]

ive just looked at etka, there IS 2 pipes connected to the system on my auq engine...

the hoses which connect with clips numbered 34....

 

[dtmwelburn]

Thats the only nipple on inlet manifold i have, as i have auq engine also, i blanked 34 off and removed the thing that hose goes into completely whole of 25 i think i hate them images theyre so confuising

 

[offitmassive]

yeh but you can defo see 2 pipes numbered 34 yeh??? that go into 25 yeh, i also removed pipe 36 too which goes to TIP and blanked tip there, as well as the hockey puck thing

 

[offitmassive]

blanked pipe 18 where 25 joins it too

 

[dtmwelburn]

I dont have any of that part 18, could i have the PCV system off the AUG engine as my engines been changed :S ive simplified it all like so im not fussed it all works and looks tonnes better and once my catch can is on and i can hook up the crankcase breather to it ill be properly happy and start tarting it all up, polishing painting etc
