finally decided to put a oil catch can between the rear breather and the blower intake today..
not that it really needs one at this stage, as after 10,000kms there was next to nothing in the intake pipe.. but you never know!! anyway went hunting in my shed only to find that the cheap a** ebay special i brought earlier in the year was rubbish... it had plastic fittings which had cracked and broke in the heat of the shed .lol and was a little to big.. so i thought hmm pvc pipe is pretty strong and light.. so off to bunnings and purchased a length of pvc pipe and 2 end caps..with a total cost of $10..  came home cut the pipe to length stuffed the pipe with course steel wool (to help catch and filter any oil out)glued on the caps, drilled a few holes for the fittings drilled a hole in the bottom for a drain hole, then screwed in a drain plug and fittings,painted it black,made a bracket and fitted it... done.. im not 100% happy with its position at the moment but untill i move it to a better spot it will stay...im thinking on mounting it on the inner guard under the bbm but ill do that later... here are the pics..

as long as it works Troy. The fact that you only spent $10 is awesome. Unlike myself, show spent over $100 on the can and another $20-30 on hose etc.

yea thanks shav.
after reading and replying to the catch can thread i thought it was about time i fitted one.. while at the moment there is no oil getting through to the intake, but i just dont know when its going to start getting oil in there, and i dont want to dirty up the fresh supercharger.. but im still running the pcv to the manifold to help with oil cooling and breathing.. |

Well done Troy, and as you won't see it it doesn't have to be flash. I like it.

Attachment: DSC01654.JPG my home made job Attachment: DSC01656.JPG and all finished Attachment: DSC01659.JPG Attachment: DSC01657.JPG i might play with the configuration of the shift as it looks alittle to far back and accross? but ill drive it first and see how it feels..

Troy! i thought the point of you getting the cheap shifter was because it wasn't worth paying so much and now you gone and brought a shift like that haha, o well its Christmas after all why not spoil yourself!
Looks great none the less, Regards.

He only bought a Gear Knob, not a complete shifter.
The billet shifter that he got from the states is the actual shifter mechanism. BenJ
