b18a oil catch can

[rxr8d]

hi the oil catch can under the plenium...

i removed the catch can and replaced the hole with a welsch plug and ran the pipe to a breather

now the car is blowing heaps of smoke and its oil smoke could this have caused the problem or what has anyone had this happen before

[fatcivic0_0]

a catch can is there for a reason to collect blow by oil and if you remove it you will then start to burn that oil thats why you have oily smoke i suggest putting it back on or buying somthing that looks better if thats what your going for :)

yea i put a aftermarket one on there and it made it smoke worse so ide say that ill have to chase one up so see if it fixes the problem

that can , is a oil seperator/cooler unit. It collects blowby and that leads to the PCV , and then goes into the intake manifold. Follw this circut and your car should run fine

where did you connect the breather?

to the port under the inlet plenum and to a vacume line
