catch tanks, PCV, breathers etc

November 7, 200817 yr

was reading on an different forum, the importance of good breather system.

was thinking of checking mine is all ok.

do many of you on here block any valves/pipes or anything, and route them into catch tanks?

and use oil breathers?

what goes where, and why for?

im not very clued up on this topic, have read several posts but still am none the wiser ???

New PCV valves in. I didn’t have replacement pipes, and managed to get the old pipe off without destroying it.
Different story on passenger side. Had to cut that one off annoyingly.
Got the new valve in and have ordered new Nissan pipes for both sides.
There was a lot of oil in both pipes so will swap them both out. Will be a few weeks before it arrived though as it’s coming from Japan and they’re on a weeks holiday!
Also replaced my air intake hoses with some lovely looking silicon Mishimoto ones. The old ones were is really good shape still to be fair but the new ones do look tidy!

So with the oil pipe sorted the other turbo is now fitted too.
Also fitted my new downpipes, Not a bad days work on the engine.

So i decided to skip trying to find an adaptor for the oil line and just relocated the oil sender to the other side instead.
Much cleaner this way and all new pipes fitted now.
