[DIY] Oil catch tank

[Kevinho]

Lol, I guess I have joined the lazy gang. Not sure when my oil catch tank can finish making. I'll just put in the iswara fuel filter first.

Eyh, shit, I just realised I connected wrongly. Lol.

Follow the arrow. PCV to filter in then filter out to inlet manifold.....

Just go Daiso and get PET bottles. Run gas hoses through it with metal mesh, done. Mine started to collect oil dy, lesser than I thought.

Can I get a clearer picture on MyVI OCT implementation? Noob here and very interested with installing OCT on my 2006 1.3 MyVi. Very sorry to bro Izso as I don't see the host clear enough going from where to where and which one is intake and outtake.

Are you going to use a proper OCT can or one of those fuel filters?

Have not decided yet.
Is there a difference? Probably going to those ready made cans where some have 2 ports and some 3 ports.

i don't recommend what I did with the fuel filter. I found out later that it deformed and ended up clogging the inlet. It made it a lot worse. Better to use a proper OCT canister.

Vacuum is too strong. If the filter is always dry then its ok. Once the filter is wet with oil (which it will) this will cause it harder to suck thru the filter and the air will pressure will crush the filter.

Ahh..I see. Definitely do not want it to cause more problems than benefits. In that case, do you have any OCT canister to recommend? For MyVI, is something like this good enough?

You mean the whole filter deformed? I am still running them on my Hyundai and VR, Changed them somewhere last year after a few years of use...lol

It's not the vacuum that kills it, it's the heat.

This one is pretty damn good! Baffled inside and no irritating indicator which'll leak. Looks expensive - where'd you get this?

I guess you got a good one. The ones I used were melty

The replacement ones also cost like RM5 to 6 only, used a year plus already...

Apparently it's a famous brand, Mishimoto. Can get it for around RM70 from Shopee.

I think it's worth the investment as it's only 1 time installation only.

Erm.. if it's an ori Mishimoto then it wouldn't be RM70 only. But I guess for that price you can't really go wrong since an OCT is just an OCT and doesn't need any fancy bits and bobs to work regardless ori or not. The only different is the mesh filter. With and without tbh isn't that big a difference.

Yes, that's what I thought too. Should be good enough for usage.

Another question which I can't seems to find answer. Why are some OCT comes with 3 ports?

 

[vr2turbo]

Maybe, In case you want to vent both. There is one going to TB, and another going to inlet manifold. I only vent the one going to TB.....

i vent all of it..
-intake manifold sealed
-valve cover breather vented (x4 outlet)
-crankcase breather vented (x2 outlet)

Overkill much? Now that your engine isn't leaking anymore you shouldn't need so much right?

thats all stock breather port...boxer engine split everything into 2 side remember?..

i'm thinking to do sealed breather suction type using turbo intake...but i'm scared if there is any vaccum leak around the breather/engine block of unknown condition...

maybe try to retrofit a vaccum pump from GRB/GVB v10 unit to my advantage later...

i'm happy solved major leak issue....but there is still slight seepage at another place...will look into that later..
