Keyser Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) wassos got a nice oil catch can setup. maybe send him a pm to find out some info Wasso's is OK but the pipes have red connectors I would never copy his installation exactly and improve on it by using GREEN connectors - no would never happen even if Wasso PM'd me a link to a guy selling one in the states!

evilscorp Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Octet pointed me in this direction http://oilcatchtank.bigcartel.com/product/oil-catch-tank Small and they should actually work, ordered two one 15mm and the other 10mm fittings. Arrived the other day but sent to my parents address so will take photo's when I pick them up, I believe a few other members have them.

Wasso Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Right now I get what the PM was about If you want a ARC Catch can seek and search my350 or G35. Alternatively you can look on RHD Japan. They're not cheap, but the Octet I think is using is the one Bennett researched. Here is his link http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/58175-oil-catch-can-tested-and-proven/ It's a far cheaper alternative and does what it says on the tin.

taffyjason Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Well i want one that does the job, not a cheapie for the sake of it, have you noticed much difference after fitting it? my engineer swears by them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 They are recommended with FI, but I've got mine for one reason only..... See if anyone can guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the rear hose that connects to the intake pipe for the engine is 15mm and the one on the other cam cover is a 9mm hose?(could be wrong haven't measured properly) but the fitting sizes for the catch can is 6,8,10,15mm so I chose the 10 and 15mm ones. I would love an ARC but don't fancy they cost involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Yeah the cost is pretty naff but they look great in my book. Jason - read up on the link I posted and all will be revealed. If you don't want an ARC or any other for bling factor then get on the link instead. A few members have them and all rate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't learn if you don't ask It "catches" the oil in the vapour that accumulates in the Cam covers - these usually vent back to the intake so the oil vapour gets run through the engine and burnt off before being expelled through the zorst, downside is the oil can mess up your intakes, the catch can has a baffle in it and is placed in the line the vapour hits said baffle and the oil drips into the bottom of the can to be disposed of later. If that's not enough They look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
