hi guys, someone has installed the oil catch tank on his engine?

like this

It seems to be a good solution in order to separate the gases produced from the burnt oil.

In this way the gases don't enter again in the engine and the air filter inhales clean and fresh air.

well I try to exlain you :D

you must remove the tubes that goes from head to the manifolds, and between insert the OCT.

This block the oil and it does not allow it to re-enter in the manifolds.

we put one on MAP81's car, make sure the catch can is a baffled type, the empty types aren't as effective. We had to customise the one on Marks car as it wasn't baffled to start with:

So stupid question...

Does the installation of an Oil Catch Can help the longevity of a motor even under normal driving (Non-Track) conditions?

Off topic, Your engine bay looks great. More heat & noise without engine cover :P Will police say anything about it. :blink:

how does removing the plastic cosmetic cover increase heat and noise?? It extends the life of the coilpacks as they can actually get some airflow with the ****ty cover removed.

The catch can helps even in normal driving as it removes/reduces the amount of oil vapour from the PCV outlet which normally gets routed back into the intake and gunks up your inlet and induces knock when combusted.

Thx. Was thinking the cover will reduce the noise & less heat for the bonnet. (Will remove the cover shortly haha).

WOWW....

so thats what the engine looks like under that shell! just by taking the cover off, it looks like you modified the engine muahahaha!

do you need special tools to remove that cover?

i wanted 2 take a look under it but been too lazy to take a close look n see how its actually attached.

how much did your oil catch tank cost btw map81? looks like a nice fit... how did you fix it into that position? obviously something is holding it in place to keep it jumping round.

do you need to remove that engine cover in order to connect the tank?

are you able to refit the cover once the pipes for the tank are in place?

Not quite, he has painted the rocker cover gun-metal. It's normally just bare alloy like the rest of the motor.

It's very very easy to remove the plastic cover - It's only there for looks. The two nuts at the front and the two black clips at the rear (which tend to break easy when you remove and only cost $2 to replace)

I made a stainless bracket that bolts to the car and the battery bracket to hold MAP81's catchcan in place.

The cusco can I had on my old 4agte was very good. It had proper internal baffles to separate the oil and other crud out from the air. Beware of the copy cans which look the same but have no internal baffling.

You empty the can before the level indicator reaches the full mark. Doing it every 10-20,000km is fine, unless your engine has a lot of blowby and fills the can quickly :P

I know that Greddy, HKS and Cusco are top brands, but someone knows if there is a specific OCT for our rollas E12?

Another way to optimize the engine and the air aspiration is to remove the vapor oil recircle on the engine.

In practice the pvc and the basement's pipe are removed and they let to "drain free" under the car.

In this way the vapor oils do not return on the engine .

...and then the car is defectable in australia due to no longer meeting emmissions requirments etc.

As far as I know, there is no "E12" specific catch can. The car specific cans usually consist of the generic can and an custom bracket.

just to add the catch cans with the breather on top are illegal as it allows the vapours to excape.

those two from my knowledge are illegal because of the breather filter.

found this online and thought it was a really good buy..

that was until i remembered this post in this thread and thought... goodbye. :/

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.
