a mate uses garden hose to run it to the tank so any is fine imo.

there wont be any pressure there so you dont need uber good shit like samco.

[Wyte]

cool then cheers mate ill give you some rep :D thanks for your help

[Ryan]

not a problem.

[saxo2tone]

waste of £30 if you ask me

[Ryan]

no one did ask you.

you know why a catch tank is needed or just felt like posting for the sake of it?

if you fit an aftermarket induction kit then the oil breather system needs somewhere to go, it effects performance being reciruclated into the TB itself and its not a good idea to just have it going onto the rocker cover etc..

a catch tank is a very good idea actually

[Wyte]

fed up of oil spraying out my breather hose though!!!

you can always get a filter too for the other outlet :y:

It actually does not come with any hosing mate, get on demon tweeks or ebay for some :y:

what you think of this one??? do u reckon that comes with the hosing or just the tank?? and do you fink the twin outlet hole and the breather hole is big enough becuase it looks really small?

[Ryan]

imo that looks less complete than the first one!

it is rare they come with a hose unless you get an expansive mocal one!

[Wyte]

ive just bought my catch tank now im looking for a breather filter any particular size i should get cus there coming up at like


9mm 12mm 15mm 25mm


which one do i choose???

cheers

[samcook]

iv got the catch tank you posted in the first ebay link! top item real well made and ive got some black tubing to go from the breather to the tank if you want it, for the cost of postage

[Predator_R32]

you my as well get ome hosing that looks good though imo, garden hose aint going to look attractive is it unless its just black hose :p

its there for a function.. so if your on a budget going for 'style hoses' is pointless.

people may have a better looking engine but its a bit sad tbh, id rather have a car that actually goes well ;)

unless you intend on driving around with the bonnet up that is?

the filter that is the same size as the pipe coming out the catch tank is a good start..

Indeed it does. oil does not combust and therefore sludges up the intake and carbons up the engine. You will get a cleaner burn without the oil and vapour mixing with the air.

should have seen the state of my mates high milage std vtr i worked on the other day, i removed the airbox and the poor sod thought his engine had blown up there was so much oil on the tb itself..

as ive said before it wont fuck up the engine, just not grear for performance. explained by kam :hug: :hug:
