urgent help needed cars in pieces

[ant_vts]

im fitting an oil catch tank to my 1.4 furio,from the rocker cover the is a t-piece there is a pipe to the inlet mani and one that goes in to the wing :S. would it be ok to disconnet these pipes and blok them off and just have the catch tank runninf off a single pipe

[renagademaster4]

ave removed the pipe from the wing to the inlet manifold and blocked it off , made no difference on the cars ave done it on , tidies up teh engine bay a bit :y:

Im not sure that blocking them off is a good idea (im no expert though) Just that surely a breather pipe is there for a reason????

thats what i did with mine mate :)

[ant_vts]

that what iv dont to mine to. i have the same air filter and by the looks of it the same catch can (toyosport)

[samueljonburgess]

i got it off mark off here :) does the job saves sprayin oil all over the bonnet and rocker cover :)

[ant_vts]

how much did you pay if you dont mind me asking, you might want to put a filter on the other pipe tho mate other wise you might start smelling

[scot-ish]

should run t to the catch can, and then back to where you have that t peice, and back,

what youve done above in that pic is shite,

whats the point in the catch can being open to air.

fill the catch can with wire wool, and run i from the rocker, to the catch can, then the catch can connected to where you have that T peice blocked off

[samueljonburgess]

wouldnt say it was shit.... it does the job i bought it for.... which is to stop oil gettin all over the rocker cover and bonnet..... it doesnt reli smell cos its rite at the front of the car

[ant_vts]

ok thanks ill get some more silicone hoses and do it in the week

[scot-ish]

its shit, if it was connected normally, oil wouldnt get all over the rocker cover.

[samueljonburgess]

but i cant conect it properly cos i have changed the piping on the air filter.... what i had before was an oil breather on the top of the rocker cover so all the vapours collected on the rocker cover and bonnet.... whatu said is a good idea that i didnt think off but i dont think you can call it shit :S

[ant_vts]

but what about the filter that goes into the wing can i disconnect that one

[scot-ish]

better to leave it connected mate, its the carbon cannister your talking about.


atleast if the catch can is then connected to the inlet, the vac in the inlet will draw the air from the rocker, through the catch can, and back to the inlet, then the scourer/wire wool in the catch can, will catch the droplets of oil and allow the air to pass through it.

[samueljonburgess]

ye i understand what you mean and its a good idea but you cant really say what i done was shit... as it works for what i bought it for...

[scot-ish]

ye i understand what you mean and its a good idea but you cant really say what i done was shit... as it works for what i bought it for...

the other side of the catch can shouldnt be left open to atmoshpere, its not good. oh, and its an MOT failure i believe

[samueljonburgess]

ye i know what you mean ill just cable tie another pipe back up to the t-joint, and it passed an mot with it before.... mer

thank you for your advise :)

[samueljonburgess]

the car revs its bollocks off if you set it up like you said....
