Hi,

Really a big thank you. As i am trying to figure out how to get a small size OCT and dang dang, read your post.

Thanks again, it will be very helpful as i almost need to clean my t.body every 20~30k due to regular high rev.

Sure. I'll get it documented once I dismantle mine from my 4G15 and reassemble. I'll get it done tomorrow morning.

Hi Biz,

I'm somewhat lazy to take out the thing. But it's pretty straight forward based on the picture. If you need more help give me a PM

Serious thanks man! Erm... But I always wonder why is there a breather hose? Isn't the PCV valve hose enough???

 

[mines998]

Please don't shut that hose engine need breath aswell. If you shut it you will find it breath some where else. Especially turbo engine.

The PCV is part of a closed system. If you close the breather hose the pressure will find ways of exiting your engine. A certain mech who used to be in Glenmarie thought he was smart and closed up my breather valve saying that it was the way American OCTs work. But what he failed to notice was that those OCTs have breather valves on the OCT itself. In the end my cylinder gasket failed and the leaks were terrible.

If you look at my 4G15 picture above, you'll notice my breather hose has a mini filter connected to it at the top.

What I also did was seal off the inlet into my intake pipe so now the breather is venting into the atmosphere. If you like I'll go back later today and take a clearer picture of it. In the case of my Myvi I didn't bother to do a breather and just let it vent back into the intake.

How about Satria GTi???
Can U show how to install it???(Pic also can..."Picture Tell Everything")

From pic.. Myvi, it is better the connection at the filter change upside down.. Since the oil is heavier than air.. Juz my opinion lah..

oil is heavier.. so, u need to put the hose from engine at the bottom.. that's why it's called 'oil catch tank'.. to catch oil..

i think this is correct..

and this is incorrect.. based on the arrow at the OCT

The GTI should be pretty much the same as the 4G15 I posted up.



Thank d7zul for answering

See that round flat thingy on top of the left bank? It functions just like an oil catch tank...difference being the oil is then fed back to the engine instead of being burnt off or thrown away like aftermarket oil catch tank.
