lukEp Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Lol hint hint! Really don't see a need for catch cans as there no proper way of getting the plumbed with out pissing about, tbh anyone that know how a rocket breather works wouldnt have one to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nastyrash 2003 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Lol hint hint! Really don't see a need for catch cans as there no proper way of getting the plumbed with out pissing about, tbh anyone that know how a rocket breather works wouldnt have one to.lol, you said it bro, like the fools that run from 1 thw the can and thn back to other, Ooch this is the worst way toput a catch can in, its doing less thn nothing and will cause u problems. i have seen som bad examples on here of how not to do it. Heheheheand trust me that front pully is heavy, a lightend 1 will help take loud off the crank. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 If having a catch can is such a bad thing then why do everyone who runs one not have problems, like you say? Just wondering what the problem is.Rocker cover looks great Luke! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 They do they just don't relise it the breather that connect to the efi pipe feeds fresh filtered air into the engine the one connected to the manifold draws that air in, it does this to stop the engine from sweating constant heating and cooling causes moisture the standard system is constantly drawing that moisture out, the way people plumb there catch cans up so both lines go to the can is basically doing nothing but building the moisture up in the engine. it's not even catching the oil that would technically be drawn into the engine so basically useless or just bling causing problems Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StarletMad Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Autosol and wire wool the inlet mani brings it up nice. Just as a temp.Like the rocker cover was wanting to do this the other week when i done mine. Wasnt sure if it was hollow underneath though so i left it.Obviously Not, Good Work!

lukEp Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 I'll leave the inlet for now. Booked in Tomoz for tracking and will do service before Friday Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Gutted about the engine letting go mate, just goes to show that 2nd hand engines need to be thoroughly checked over or rebuilt.Onwards and upwards though look forward to seeing what you and the main man Chris does to it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 that sucks mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Thing is my engine is the oringinal low milage engine done 38k and it's never been apart :s so it just goes to show any engine can go at anytime it's just one of them things, not got the car back yet, will get it wednesday so will start the strip and rebuild process. Might be selling a few parts to fund it though not sure what yet maybe the 3rd rev Gt hybrid. As it's only done 1k Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Sell the hybrid and manifold, decat etc and go td04 you know it makes sense Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Yeh after seeing yours go at just .6 I'm really debating it, just on to a guy on tgtt about a forged engine at the mo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
