Sean Stephens Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I need some advice please... So my starlet GT turbo has two oil catch cans With a hose going from the rocker cover to each can. And one hose is connected from the inlet manifold to the catch can. This seems a little strange compared to the way I usually see catch cans set up on these cars. I've tried changing to a single catch can and blanking off the inlet manifold but it pissed oil out of the turbo and the amount of smoke out the back was unreal. Can anyone please explain this configuration to me and make any recommendations? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Not sure why you have 2 people normally just pop the breather filter on the cover where the catch tank front left is. Cheers nick Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers nick Yeah I know, so I tried doing that and the car poured clouds of blue smoke out of the back so I quickly swapped it back to this setup. I'm confused Sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Have you taken both off just pipe from inlet to pcv and breather on the cover. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sean Stephens Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 Just tried it and smoke comes out of the turbo/manifold Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Could be a blocked PCV. Usually remove them when going to a catch can setup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
