    Default Catch can on NA RB30

    As per title anyone done it ????

    I know the front Rocker breather would go to the Catch can,
    but what about the rear rocker breather does this go to the catch can aswell?


    Pics or diagram would be a great help

    That's what I was wondering.. But on topic, I haven't seen anyone do it unless someone on here's done it, but probably not as there's no point.

    you can, but you have to block the hole in the side of your intake pipe, and remove the valve from the plenum and replace it with a bolt to block that to. The only benifit is that your engine isnt sucking in shitty air from the crankcase and rocker cover. So instead of burning off the oil filled air (PC green peace emissions way), your venting it into atmosphere and catching any oil in the air in the can. But make sure your oil catch can has a filter breather on it, otherwise your crankcase will pressurise the oil catch can and the only place it can all go is by shooting your dipstick out and releasing it all.

    Thanks boganstyle /detox I have a spare one lying around and was keen to do something with it!
    I was thinking if I could keep as much oil and shit outta my intake/chamber the better it might run, as they say you loose octane with oil vapour in the intake dunno how true that is tho

    the NA RB30 is tuned to run with all that shit! take it away and you just may have more problems.
    but I must agree with nath (yet again) do what you like!
