After all the catch can euphoria I got myself one. Calibre Supercheap item. Took out bottom bolt and used a screwdriver to push the top off (after taking all allenkey bolts out). Then proceeded to grind away internal inlet region so that I could get some piping around the inlet bolt. So as to make for a better unit air/oil separator, took about an hour. 2 stainless scourers fitted. I got a polished item (all they had). After a run I was surprised how hot it actually got. So thermodynamically speaking a black one would have been better. Im now think that I will run my rocker breather (front) into it via a barbed Y connector and vent all to atmo. As I was very surprised by the heat generated. Having that hot vapour feeding straight into the inlet manifold is not good for power. So I do think that this is a very worthwhile mod, with multiple benefits.

Cheers

No sorry no pics. Only new so to early to say. But I will say this; due to the high temps I have little doubt that most of the oil content would probably still end up in the intake. Ideally a heat exchanger would benefit the system (located before catch can entry point, for best results). In the meantime I going to put a $3 fuel filter in the line (before catch can) and see if that helps by 1. slowing the flow, 2. providing greater surface area for cooling. But I honestly believe that if vented to atmo you would see BIG benefits.

Cheers

Ok so for the slow folk like me ;) its just the 2 hoses from the rocker cover going into a catch can and one hose from the catch can going somewhere out of sight with a filter? No 1 way valves or anything needed now coz its not connected to the inlet manifold anymore, right?

All done, just needs a intake cover. Booked in for touch up tune on Wednesday then straight to the drags at wsid.... Any guess what difference the plenum will make?

Your all over it !!!! You will need a 10mm Y barbed fitting ($4.60 ebay). Join both PCV and rocker breather (using Y connector) to the catchcan inlet. Then run the piping from outlet down to a hidden location. But make sure you use a small breather filter on the end to be certain that it does'nt becomed blocked by little creatures, mud, dirt etc.
