oil catch tank fitting guide

[steve_k]

Hi folk's.

Right then in the new year (sometime next month) i'm looking at getting an oil catch tank,

Now i've read nearly every right up about them but i just can't find a fitting guide anywhere online, so does anybody have a guide they could post up here? or a link to one online?

i'll be fitting one to a m20b25.

thanks in advance,

steve.

Not got a guide cos its pretty simple. Hose from rocker cover to top port of can. 2nd top port (assuming its one like mine) fit a breather. 3rd port at bottom, i fitted a small valve to this and have returned it to the oil level sender port on the sump for which i've made a return fitting. (the oil level is checked regular hence level sender delete)

[steve_k]

Cheers for that dude

it's a twin top port type i'm looking at.

[steve_k]

oops nearly forgot about this

so does anybody have a step by step picture guide ln how to fit one to a m20b25???

its really easy steve and pretty self explanatory you really shouldnt need a guide surely ?

[steve_k]

never done it before dude

it will probably be the end of next week before i get one (witing to get paid) but if it's as easy as you say then surely even a numpty like me can do it lol.

im sure you can all you do it rocker cover breather goes to one port and the other port goes to the hole on the side of the throttle body needs to be a closed loop no breather easy

thats just what i wanted to hear

if you stick a breather on it it will run like youve undone the oil filer cap needs crank case preassure

[steve_k]

i meant fitting the tank & following the tips you've given me lol.

[ross2009]

yeah i know mate lol ill be rebuilding my block thats my next project lol

[b12rlw]

Forgot about the breather return to the throttle body . Ive plugged all the ports on mine cos of where the throttle is.

[ross2009]

yeah but yours is turbo we can do that but a standard 325 pressure needs to be put bk in to the system other wise it will run like when you remove the oil filler cap

[steve_k]

Right then all being well I'll be getting the oil catch tank at the end of the week.

Also I think I've sussed out how to plumb it all in (fingers crossed lol)
now I just need to figure out where to mount it, would it be possible to mount it on/near the old battery try? (battery in the boot) or is there somwhere else in the engine bay better to put it?

TIA.

[steve_k]

C'mon folks surely someone must know where's the best place in the engine bay to mount it??

[ross2009]

doesn't matter steve just put it where ever you like I'd put it near the power steering bottle but that's just me

[steve_k]

Cheers for that Ross

sounds like a plan to me
