Catch can install 2017 Aurion - help needed with hose sizing

[AussieA]

G’day all!

I have read about possible benefits of a catch can in the 2GR engines (2GR-FE in mine) and needed a bit of guidance.

 

I have a 2017 Aurion Sportivo and wanted to fit a catch can.

 

I am unsure where to start. I currently have a decent amount of pressure rated fuel hosing in 3/8” but have read that there are two different sizes needed - one to the catch can and one from it.

 

I cannot find a video going into this with the Aurion specifically, and am not sure which size hosing to get for the second hose (from catch can)

 

I’m sure it’s super simple, but I wanted to ask here since this seems to be the place of expertise!

 

Cheers in advance!

Campbeam (Ashley) has been down this road. I'm sure he'll chime in sooner or later.

Best to check but i am sure that you will find 3/8" will work. I used 3/8" hose from the PCV valve to the oil catch can then the existing hose from the oil catch can to the air intake.

Thanks all, got it sorted with using the stock PVC hosing for IN and a new 3/8” for OUT.

Glad you got it sorted. 

Let us know how you go with your new catch can and how often you have to empty it etc.

Some pics would also be great too.

Cheers mate

I’m attaching a photo below of my setup now I have it fitted.

I had a spare nutsert left in the engine back from the previous police pack that was fitted, so utilised this to fit the catch can.

Both hoses are reinforced 3/8” fuel lines and run under the engine cover (I had to shave a little off the left side but this is not noticeable from above)

I re-used the original clamp on the intake-in fitting, as it is plastic and I did not want to risk damaging it with a worm drive. The other 3 are new worm drive clamps.

 

It is tidy enough for me and hopefully works well!

As a side note, is the position under the cover OK for the hoses, heat-wise? There are already a tonne of factory plastic hoses and sleeves there which have never gotten too hot, so I am assuming it is fine.

Nice work mate. That's a good spot for it too.
