this looks really nice, will it fit?

19mm - if you use normal silicon, it discolours though. Sleeve the 16mm tank connectors out to 19mm with bits of the hose that comes with the kit.

ok, got some pics
so one pipe comes off the rocker cover, and splits into two, one to a silver valve and the other feeding down to the bottom of the block
pipe feeding to silver valve
returning pipe to block
two connectors on the catch can. I presume one from the Rocker cover, and the other feeds back into the block.....so what about the pipe to the silver valve, is this blocked off?
sorry, it's just not making sense to me
this is the catch can

You don't need to block anything off the one from the tip goes to the tank and the one from the rocker cover and the block join together and go to the catch tank.... i think..yes that's right lol
Err actually the one from the rocker cover goes straight to the tank and the one from the tip and the block join together and then go to the tank. well you get the jist....sort of.....hopefully

that makes sense I believe
what size piping onto the catch can? Dave mentions 19mm....but that seems a bit tight to fit onto the catch can fittings.....
I guess it's 19mm off the Rocker cover
Yes daves right, but the catch tank is smaller than rocker cover so you have to reduce the diamiter, you will also need an adaptor to fit on to the tip, i used pipe conectors from a motor shop, you need som "T" pieces and "L" shapes i will take some pic's later of the pipe work, i have seen some silicon pipe but as dave said it stains and is expendsive, the pipe i had was water pipe.
I will post the other pic asap.

Right here we go, sorry for the delay the battery on the camera was flat then i had to go christmas shopping lol, i will give a guide after the pic's.
This is the over all pic you can see the one from the rocker cover and has the "T" to the block and the other pipe goes to the TIP.
This is the pic of where the pipe goes in to the tip, my car is an LC but i expect the LCR has this in the same place.
The elbow going to the block,.
This is the conection for the block under the inlet manifold.
The conection to the TIP
Now you know where all the pipes go just remove all the OE pipes, make sure you know where you are going to mount the tank and plan the pipe route.
The main problem i had is that the tank inlets are a diferent size to the engine inlets so i got some reducers from 19mm to 16 mm and used them just before the tank you can see them in the over all pic.
The TIP conection is easy enough 19mm elbow goes straight in, the block conection is easy aswell all you need to do is remove the elbow you do this by pulling the clip arrowed in the pic once it is out pull the elbow towards you it is now alot easyer to put the new pipe
on then just replace push the clip back in and do up all the conections.
Although it works it is not that nice to look at i am constantly on the look out for better pipe work.
I hope this is of some use any questions please ask.
