Gazbarber1982 3 Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 I had a catch can fitted to mine for about 20 mins. Apart from pipercross, full milltek and supercharger it's nearly standard ;-) you don't need a catch can unless it's a proper track car or got serious power!! If it is any of the above, you will need a 19mm inlet & outlet on your catch can to allow for the pressure to blow off from your rocker cover. I had a 15mm blow off on mine when I went to stealth and he told me to up size and run it to the steering rack or there abouts. I thought it would look good but turns out unless your running 400bhp, not worth it. BTW, mines runnin 273bhp..... Link to post Share on other sites
editionmatt 1 Posted July 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 ahhh ok cheerss dude! And thanks for the pic, yes it was more the fact that i was given a pretty decent one and 1- im startin to make the bay luk a bit more appealable and 2 im extremely bored and wanted to fill time by fitting it lol does it not get quite a lot of shit out of ur oil, a mate has 1 on his a3 20vt remap and said the amount of shit it collected was unbelievable. quite new to the motor scene so im just taking in as much info as i can so i may be wrong.

VeedubVR 0 Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I was woundering that aswel. The valve on my Vr is broken, so the garage fitted a temp catch can and its collected a bit, not loads though. I thought about just fitting a breather filter, but wont it get clogged up?

legvw 0 Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 The catch can does what it says, catches the oil, rather than burning it off through the induction system. Link to post Share on other sites

VeedubVR 0 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 The catch can and the pipe for it. Filter can be picked up quite easily. Where are people mounting it? Link to post Share on other sites
VeedubVR 0 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 The only catch tnak I can find with a 19mm fitment is this http://www.nengun.com/trust-greddy/oil-catch-tank-1000Where is everyone getting theres from?Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
CALICO 130 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 ebay dosnt have to be 19mm just tighten the jubilee clip more you can mount them on the bracket just behind the coil pack Link to post Share on other sites
Rikki 2 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 It SHOULD be 19mm especially on a boosted vr. Smaller outlets will build up too much crankcase pressure. Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 It SHOULD be 19mm especially on a boosted vr. Smaller outlets will build up too much crankcase pressure.Do they? I'm using an ebay type catch can an its ok, no build up of pressure. Link to post Share on other sites
vr6stormt 0 Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 search SPEC-R on the bay they will fit any amount and size connectors you want and the cans look good as-well for £50 ish Link to post Share on other sites

I'm using an ebay type catch can an its ok' date=' no build up of pressure.[/quote']Well the outlet is 19mm.....by makin the inlet of the catch can smaller you are not letting the engine breathe.....i wouldnt run anything smaller than a 19mm!

craggsy 91 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 From rocker cover to catch can, catch can to the inlet elbow thing Link to post Share on other sites
ghostxav4 0 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Cheers but inlet elbow thing were about is that once again cheers but Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Thats the bit that attaches to the throttle body from air filter Link to post Share on other sites
Daverse 175 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 The pipe that goes from the throttle body to the air filter, there is a little pipe as standard that goes from this big pipe to the rocker cover. The catch can basically replaces this small pipe. Link to post Share on other sites
Dirtysanchez 0 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 One question, I've seen a couple of pics where people appear to have left the PCV on, then run a pipe to the catch can. I thought the idea was to remove the PCV valve altogether? For example this looks like the valve is still in place, with a length of hose running from it to the can?: Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 People normally take it off when it splits as they always do. But nothing to stop you keeping it on as well as a catchcan Link to post Share on other sites
