DIY - Oil Catch Tank on CAMPRO

[EGNINE]

On te hose size question, the bigger the better. It makes ur engine feel lighter. AN10 would be nice. 3/8 hose also ok.

That's the reason why I'd suggest to put it on the breather->intake ram(between TB-air filter). Reason is, it doesn't disturb the Manifold Absolute Pressure. And, u can't enlarge the pipe size since there is a non return valve and the size is fixed.

i put OCT at breather - intake ram but theres not even a drop of oil in the OCT...only oil stain..thats y i tought my set up was wrong...but i surf through the net, i found that some put 2 OCT... 1 for breather-intake ram and another one PCV - intake manifold

Same experience here. That's is also one of the reason i relocate it to the pcv - manifold instead.

Oh, forgot to mention about this earlier. When i went to my friends garage the other day, asking about the braided hose thingy, he mention that if he were to do the hose, he will close of the manifold inlet, use a T connector to connect PCV & breather hole while another hose back to the intake ram pipe.

He claim that by doing this, I will recycle the air inside the instead of clogging the manifold.

Is this true?

I guess the engine will have rough idle. Haven't try it before... But, engine will need a certain air amount of air for idling during the close throttle. So, the air from the PCV will be used for idling. That's why there'll be a non return valve on the PCV.

I think so too. I kinda hate the idea of "recycling" the air inside the rocker cover.

Err... That's to keep our mother earth healthy...

Ok. I've found some info after a few read up..

It seems to me that the OCT will only work if there's a suction force that draws the oil vapor out. This is a very interesting topic...Hope more people can provide more info and how your setup...

From my findings on the net, the OCT is mainly used on Turbo cars...
