oil catch can help

[dic]

alright guys i have bought a japspeed oil catch can. and was wondering where the hole in the bottom of the can is supposed to go?

In essence, that pipe goes nowhere.

You can bung it off and from time to time you can release the bung to empty the catch can.

Different brands follow different design concepts, who knows what they are thinking at the time.

That particular pipe has been known to be plumbed back into the sump too on occasion.

Which colour did you go for???

cheers buddy at the time they only had black or silver, i went for silver. looks pretty but the hose they supply with is rubbish (your garden varitey hose pipe )

That is how they keep the costs down!!!

ok fitted the can. bunged the hole on the bottom, one pipe to the rear of the rocker, one pipe to the right hand side. but now it is pressurising and firing out my dipstick! so have removed it for now, any ideas?

breathers too small on the can?

heard of it happening on cheap catch cans.

Have you connected to both of the connectors on top? As in side pipe from rocker to one and rear one to the other? If yes, you need to get a t-piece and connect both pipes from rocker cover to one of the inlets on the can and use the other as a breather. Am I right in saying this El?

looking at that can I'd 'T' the 2 rocker breathers into 1 inlet and vent the other outlet on the can.

have you got the 2 breathers going to both pipes on the can? if so that'll be why its pressurising.

ok done some research and think i have discoverd the prob i plumbed it in like this....

but did'nt realise the catch tank in the pic had a breather built into the catch tank. doh!!

so i can either plumb both into the can - one for the inlet and the second to the outlet then get it tap and dyed to take a breather that will VTA....

or do a setup like this....

what do you guys reckon, any suggestions??

ha you must of posted this as i was posting mine.
as you can see yes is the answer....
so you reckon i should do like the second pic?

 

[sponners]

yeah mate.

 

[dic]

do you think i should/need to fit a one way valve to the side i use for the breather, so it can vent but not suck?

 

[sponners]

no mate, needs to 'breath'

ok will let you know how i get on once i get hold of a T piece cheers for all the help guys
