northwestsupra's 500hp build
- Thread starter northwestsupra
- Start date
hmmm i think it will be fine there, i mean there will be a heat shield there. so im not to worried. im more worried about the downpipe and intercooler pipe fitting, that DP is going to be a sharp 90 degree, :3d_frown: and the 3 inch intercooler pipes are going to be a very tight fit
Whole idea of a catch can is to condense oil vapor...not going to work too well sitting next to the hottest part in the engine bay. Heat shield or not.
It's also going to need the vac line from the TB to pull vapor into the can.

Well today you are Clay and you will learn to like it.:biglaugh:
sorry thats newwestsupras name I don't know how I could ever make a mistake as I am perfect and have always been perfect.:nono:
Jay,Clay,Bill or Ed car is looking good.:love:
There is no PCV valve on a 7M engine 
Here's how it works:
- The hot oil in the crankcase burns off byproducts of combustion...water is the biggie. Pressure is also produced
- This (and oil vapor) goes out the cam cover nipples to one of two places: Most of the time the vacuum created off boost from the intake manifold pulls the vapor into the TB. On boost, a weak vacuum is created at the accordion hose...this is why you'll see an IC accumulate oil...it condenses there just like a catch can
- Vapor is routed this way because it is metered air post AFM...you'll see a lot of idle problems from a poor/leaky PCV
- The way to route a catch can is to use the same vacuum (from both sources) to pull vapor into the can on one side, the other side is attached to the cam cover nipples
The way you have it...both cam cover nipples hooked directly to the catch can will do 2 things:
1) It won't work...there is no vacuum source to pull vapor into the can.
2) there is no where for crankcase pressure to go...you're asking to blow a crank or cam seal
Location wise, the other side next to the brake booster.

"Clay" = NewWestSupra....
Not much to add other than you need to LISTEN to what the guys are trying to tell you re the PCV system.

well for your information my name is actually Trevor and you'll learn to like remembering it mr. jugodegolf :evil2:
this is the catch can i have
this look like a better setup, and the reason why i didnt just post this in my other build thread is because it wont let me, it said that nothing has been posted for like 30+ days so basically it locked itself:3d_frown:
or this way?
to simplifly this picture, you have the 2 top ports on the catch can, port 1 is the intake pipe "accordian hose"
port 2 both valve cover nipples and a T adapter to TB
port 3??? drain???? atmosphere
if you could just label the picture of the catch can on what port does what that would help

i'm trying to make this build go by as fast as possible, right now im still waiting on the oil line kit for the turbo. have to make the DP, mate that with the 3 inch pipeing and weld on the Apexi N1, then i have to find out how im going to rout that bloody intercooler piping. << thats my biggest worry but as for everything else is done, mmm going to lengthen some wires on the harness now due to the moving of all the relay box/igniter/ect.. mmm and then its all tuning, but i still have a interior power problem but i think it may be linked to the Fuel pump not being on a relay
oh BTW duane if your at the next local meet, and you notice your BIG Turbo emblem missing it wasnt me :boink:
