Guide to catch tank fittings.

I'm thinking of removing the piping uner the inlet manifold but keeping it original up top i.e. leaving the 3 way hose from the rocker breather to the TIP as it is and connecting the 19mm hose from the oil filter housing with a straight 19mm joiner to the 3 way hose.

Do you know if this could potentially cause any problems?

No it should be fine as thats how it would be with the catch tank, you should have a hose going from the top of the oil filter housing to the three way hose by the outlet on the cam cover.

Well attempted this today and it obviously hasn't been touched before because this snapped so easily!!

Also am I right in saying in the bottom picture, the brake server pipe leading off to the right from the T-Pipe can be capped off and left like that? Thanks :)

Follow what comes from the pipe on top of the oil filter and remove it, you will have some pipes that go to the inlet manifold you will need to blank them of so you dont get a vacuum leak, then follow what comes from the cam cover and remove that right up to the tip. You should have two out puts from the engine the one on the cam cover and the one from the top of the oil filter they both blow gases from the engine and need to be "T'ed" together and then in to the catch tank, you can then either run the out from the catch tank to the T.I.P or out to atmosphere under the bulk head (not in the engine bay or the gases will end up in the car and you will die) The amount of elbows depends on the route of the hoses and where you have mounted the catch tank, the best thing to do is mount the catch tank and then plan your hose route. I hope this makes sense.

This is my latest set up, just to confuse matters more i have had my catch tank custom made and has two inlets and the one outlet this allows me to run the hoses without having to "T" them together, but you can follow the hose routes from the pipe under the manifold and the
cam cover and to the T.I.P.

(if anyone is interested in the catch tanks PM me and i will let you have the contact details and cost of the tank, please note i do not benefit from any sales of these tanks)

Hi PhillC,

Can I just ask why you have 2 catch cans?

I'm looking to get a catch can fitted soon, but thought you only needed 1.

Thanks

P.S your bay was amazing

I doubt Phill comes on here much anymore but the one can in the pic is actually a coolant swirl pot not a catch can
