I see alot of diagrams for the b series but not the H series.
lemme see some pictures..

 

me too...

 

anybody?

 

I don't know what you class as an oil catch tank but over here we fit oil catch tanks between the PCV valve and the inlet manifold. This catches the warm oil that would normally be fed back into inlet manifold and has a negative effect on the cold air.

Here are a couple of pics, as you can see, my oil catch tank is located next to my battery with the red hose going into it from the PCV valve on the top of the cam cover and then feeding out to the inlet manifold.

The second picture shows how much oil it collected in a couple of weeks so it does what it's supposed to do.

anyone else?

 

keep the pictures coming, anyone with an endyn one hooked up?

 

are you thinking about those fittings on the back of the block too?

 

yeah

 

ive tried placing a catch can between the pcv valve and the manifold and the vaccum pressure from there was soo strong that it woulc suck the hose flat. i was using reinforced water hose like most catch cans come with...

 

and the Z10 kit has the same fittings.

come y'all. someone has to have one of these!

It's not the vacuum pressure, it's the heat. I had to upgrade my Greddy lines to fuel lines and they have worked perfect for a long time.

 

yeah just get yourself some 3/8" fuel line and they wont collapse

cool, thanks for the tip

 

i have 3/8 fuel line and that even goes flat.....

that hose that firthy has looks like it gets the job done well though.....but i guess that is kit hosing.....

im gonna try to find some better hose.....my dad has a huge box full of all kinds of hose, and there is bound to be some heater hose in there that is 3/8 id.....the heater hose will definitely be thick enough to hold.....

 

Mine is just red Samco silicone hosing but there is quite a bit of pressure built up as you can hear through the lid of the catch can if it's not tightened enough. So you will need to make sure that the catch can has rubber seals and the jubilee clips holding the hose are nice and tight.

Another tip, you are better off putting a small hose on the inlet pipe of the catch can and fixing it in place with silicone sealer. If you look at my second picture you will see the clear pipe which points towards the bottom of the catch can and makes the warm oil evaporate on the sides and bottom of the catch tank. If you don't install this pipe then there is a chance that most of the oil vapour will just get drawn straight through, especially in my case where the inlet and outlet pipes are the same height and close together.

BTW mine is a Weapon-R catchtank that cost me $39, well made and perfect for the job. Don't know if this mod makes much difference but it certainly doesn't do any harm, you don't want all that warm oil going back in to inlet manifold.

Do you not have any sort of baffle inside? You're supposed to have some plastic steel wool or something of that nature to collect the oil vapors in there. I'm surprised you got any oil.

I've had 1/4 of a quart in there before and my car is not even boosted. I'm not trying to flame you, but rather let you know you're probably still getting the same amount of vapors in your IM...

 

Yeh, I know about the steel wool, but I've heard stories about this breaking up and bits of it getting into your manifold which isn't good. So the alternative is to direct the flow onto of air onto the sides of the tanks where it evaporates.

It might not be perfect but as you can see from the pic it certainly stops some of the oil. And no probs about flaming me that's what the forum is all about opinions and discussion.

Dude, go to the grocery store and get like 3-4 packs of that plastic steel wool that housewives uses to wash dishes and cram as much of that in there as you can. That's some good filter action

 

hawk what catch can setup are you running?

i have one of the air compressor filters, with the hard plastic filter element....

it seems to work fine, though that filter peice is stained poop brown already....and it hasnt been but a month that its been on there.....

but i do collect a good bit of oil....

 

I have a Greddy can with the above mentioned baffle (it doesn't come with anything ) and I ran a silicone hose to the bottom of the can from the inlet so the vapors have to go through 11-12 of those plastic wool things to get to the outlet before leaving the can... Also upgraded to fuel hose and mounted it where the charcoal canister used to be.

Works great, once I overfilled my engine by like 1/4 quart and it was all in the catch can in the next couple days

 

how did you get rid of the charcoal canister?? what exactly does it do and what can i do to remove it??

 

It's just emissions crap. It stores fuel vapors from the gas tank and what the charcoal inside can't absorb, it purges into the throttle body. Not needed...

To take it out, just basically unbolt it and disconnect it from all the hoses (3 total) and remove it. Then you have 2 vacuum lines to remove and 2 nipples to cap off, and one hard line that goes back to the tank. I cut this hard line off right near the rear wheels so it just vents into the atmosphere.

I also just recently found out you can even remove the EVAP solenoid and the plug for that solenoid without a CEL. It's that little plastic deal to the right of the MAP sensor on the firewall....this is on an OBDI car, though, don't know about OBDII...

 

my vac system is a nightmare, its an obdI motor in an obd2 prelude and there is crap all over....im gonna see what i can do to clean it up, thanks for the info.

 

This mod does NOT give you any power and uses fuel you would otherwise lose.

 

any more pictures?
