Do NOT use the above setup on a boosted engine. Be sure to connect the hose that goes to his intake to your turbo inlet and not the cold pipe.

A setup should go like this:

[Valve Cover] ---Hose---> [Catch Can] ---Hose---> [Constant Vacuum]

Catch cans are all the rage in '09.

No Catch cans are all the rage in '09. ugly

dogg4217 · 01-30-2009, 12:15 PM

Just a cell phone image but this is how mine is setup.

Hose running from the back of the block to the t-fitting
T-Fitting to catch can
Catch can to port on the intake pipe.

Johny5 · 01-30-2009, 02:48 PM

its not hooked up and some stuff isn't assembled on the motor but its a kazama shroud-mount catch can that i cut open and baffled properly with trap walls inside on an ma-motorsports valvecover. byebye blowby! even at 26-28 psi

yabeet · 01-31-2009, 01:43 PM

Im going to for the clean look, but I dont want to run the lines all over the place, just looking for ideas for S14 SR's.

¹²³Klan™ · 02-03-2009, 08:14 AM

driftstyre · 02-03-2009, 11:25 AM

This is the one from my car. Three inlets and one large outlet. There are three levels of baffling and fuel cell foam in two of them.

That setup doesn't pull vacuum, it may equalize the pressure to atmospheric but it's not ideal.

I am looking up more pictures when I get home of the Dent Sport car. Nice setup.

upSLIDEdown · 02-03-2009, 01:04 PM

Here's another one that has a lot of good info in the Premie forum.

Sometimes called an oil-air separator, these items are a useful addition to any car, but especially CA18DET's as they are known to have quite a bit of pressure in the crank case. The catch can acts as a reservoir for the oil blown out of the outlets of the tappet cover. Instead of being tapped back into the intercooler piping before the turbo, and also directly into the plenum as is standard procedure, the 2 lines both run into the catch can. Any oil that comes out of these lines then is trapped in the can, with no oil being recirculated back where it isn't needed. Every few months its a simple matter of letting the excess oil drain from the drain plug at the bottom of the can. Alternately you can run a line back down to the sump to let the oil drain down there automatically.
This avoids the common problem of oil all through the intercooler piping, intercooler plenum and vacuum lines, and ensures that only clean air is circulated in these areas and eventually burnt in the motor.

Taken from DIY Oil Catch Can for CA18DET Datsun 1600

I was going to try and explain but then I realised how bad I am at explaining things.

¹²³Klan™ · 02-04-2009, 07:39 PM

I like the corn one. Heres some stuff for you =)

Monster Catch Can: its custom made, not a CAN. Just has the monster sticker.

SAVE THE MINI KEGS

Andrew Bohan · 02-04-2009, 07:41 PM

so it gets the oil out before the air goes back into the intake

Johny5 · 02-05-2009, 07:54 AM

andrew and luke, good job innovating off the s13sr valvecover! after looking underneath i see what you did there, did you minimize the opening into that area with a tiny piece of flat stock or anything else? great idea, keep it up

DJ_Sunrise · 02-05-2009, 10:40 AM

So what is the proper way to set one up on an S14 SR?
