Oil Catch Can Question

[stouf2406]

I need a confirmation about the oil catch can assembly
That is my actual assembly Is this a good one?

That will suck oil right out of your oil pan. You want it inline with the PCV. Who told you this way?

[stouf2406]

I bought the car with this assembly and I m not confident with this one ...
I want to avoid oil in my intake
Your recommendation is to replace PCV valve by the oil cath tank Oil catch tank 1)


I have no other outlet on my valve cover ( European model) So I can not connect a second OCT
Where should I connect this outlet ? (Red circle) It look like Oem outlet( I have 2 oil pan with this outlet)

There should be another out-let higher up the block just above the one you have indicated there, that and the indicated outlet go into the oil catch can abd there is a third pipe that goes from the top of the catch can to the pipe between the Turbo and the AFM. I think the lower pipe is an oil drain from the catch can back into the engine. That is how it is set up on my stock system. The oil catch can on the stock BF GTX sits just below the distributor on top of the gearbox. It looks like a small steel black box shaped thing. with three hoses going into it.

I have the same black box but looks like only 2 outlets
323GTX-RSA, Can you take a picture of your system?

[323GTX-RSA]

I will try, I looked on the workshop manual but it does not show the catch can system. I am going to see if I can get a pic or have a look at it and give you a better description of the setup.

Thanks a lot !
I have find a picture I took during my rebuild :



I didn't remember at what I connect the green circle...

If you can have a picture of the OEM oil cath can with the outlet ... that s will be very helpful

If I understood well , I have to connect the green circle outlet to one outlet of the OCT and One to the intake ( between AFM and turbo) the last one ( drain of the can ) has to be connect on the red one. Am I right?

[323GTX-RSA]

I could not get a pic of it as there is to many pipes and stuff in the way but I modded the drawing of yours to show you how the setup looks.



The top outlet on the block is just above the one coming out of the sump and on the oil catch can there is two big pipes on the back, and one smaller pipe on the top front that goes to the inlet pipe between the Turbo and the AFM. I will see if I can take out my battery and take pics tomorrow morning if you need it.

Here are some pics of the catch can, the pipes are circled in red.
