i think on the s16 you could run both outlets from the oil filler [the two breathers, not the main filler hose] to each side of the catch tank, and then vent in via the tank lid [mocal] or with a k&n style cone filter thingy on it

my whole car and setup is so far from standard i have had to take a few different routes with things

might be a stupid question as I don't understand technical English 100% but where does the hose, that doesn't connect to the oil catch tank, go

Sorry to revive this again, but there is mixed opinions in this thread.

Can we have a vote of which way to install a catch tank please? Flowers

glad you did revive it actually, have one on order and wanted to know the consensus. Also i accidentally bought one with 9mm connectors and am trying to get hold of some 15mm ones but i need to know the thread diameter of where the fittings screw into the tank, total balls up i know!

Just be careful lads, if you intend to use your car for motorsport (sprints, hillclimbs, racing etc) the RAC blue book states that IF you have an oil catch tank fitted it must be a minimum size of 2 litres. If you have a smaller one fitted (dependent on the scrutineer) you could be forced to remove it or fail scrutineering.......
Here is my Mocal 2 litre catch tank

I will be blocking one of the inlets as it breaths through the cap & there is no feed to the inlet.

Cool

Should a pipe go back to throttle body?

I'm not sure I want to put the pipe back to the throttle body as to me this seems like unnecessary contamination, however I wasn't sure whether it was recommended in order to maintain negative crankcase pressure as mentioned above.

What are the advantages of fitting one of these? Apart from it cutting the oil vapour to the inlet?

Tank needs to be lower than the pipe going into it otherwise you will get a build up over time. The second pic is the better option with the breather. On mine iv just got the pipe extended to the floor with a breather on the end with no catch tank. Does the same thing

Hello there,
Sorry to revitalize such an old thread but I don't understand something.
With either pic1 or pic2, there is still vapour coming out of the tank - and it is oily. If it goes back to induction, oil still gets to where it might not help. On the other hand, not recirculating it but rather filtering it in the engine bay means that the oily vapour messes up the bay (and of course it stinks Smile)
Or am I just overthinking this?
Thanks,
B.

I think my problem lies deeper.
There is a gap in my knowledge as to how the "PCV" regulator valve is supposed to work.
When is it shut and when is it open?
Trouble is I found oil in the air filter chamber Sad

with a filter on the top of the catch tank it should just vent the vapour/air out the filter and catch the oil in the tank. every now and again the catch tank will need emptying.

alternativly i had the below catch tank made up to my spec.
two 16mm outlets on the top, one for the pipe from the rocker and one for the k+n breather filter. then ive a return which will drain any oil back into the sump via the outlet on the block. although im running throttle bodies so dont have any of the pipework on the standard tb

Fumes from the filter are oily, right?

Nah, not me - my wife Smile
I did test it for a day and there is some smell in the garage or when in a jam as well as some vapour slipping from under the hood.
But maybe thats because my PCV valve might have given in?
