i have heard about this but tbh the price of a cooler kit, then getting all the bits separately minus cooler is about the same and the hassle involved, were as a power steering cooler seams like a better idea with the diff cooler ?
This perfectly sums up CA ownership, when they're good they're great when they're bad, you can't find out why.
i recon im guna take of the cam covers clean it all out and the pipe next to plenum, and do my breather set up so it doesn't overstress the oil system also i may have a look in to running to catch cans hows this done can some one post a paint finest picture of various setups that work best, also a miss fire when its hot you running the coil pack Dave from DY engine said running the cover can cause a lot of problems with the coil packs when hot
If you can be arsed to read it all theres a good thread on SXOC about breather set ups. CA breather system discussion
My set up. the square and round things on the left are catch cans. You dont really need to run two pipes from the exhaust cam cover, that was me going overkill on it.
thats how i may eventually do mine right now i have pcv blocked and intake and exhaust sides going into one to the catch can on one port then the other port on the catch can vented is that ok ? causing me great stress this catch can stuff as i had a lot of oil going into the catch can and out the vented bit but it was slightly over filled and the breather set up wasn't ideal ordering some new hose and doing a better job for it and putting a proper filter rather than bit of cloth taped rush job and with a filter on the vented bit and mounting it further away, or is it having the intake and exhaust connected going into one line explain ? any help as its causing vast stress
By having both pipes joined together and then into the catch can you arent really freeing up the breathing over the stock set up. Bodge up a temporary can out of an old oil can, run the pipes separately and see how you get on. If you still get too much oil in the cans you might have to start looking elsewhere to find the cause.
theres some pics of my setup on page 2 of this thread, the can i used is for a bailey one for a fiesta rs turbo and it vents under the car via a pipe which i clipped down by the exhaust. The pcv valve isnt in the pic but i just blanked that off
ive just had a look its quite hard to see how its set up there's piping under inlet is that replacing how the little bendy thing can you draw a picture or something to show it in layman's terms please ?
Where can you get proper quality hoses to do this as mine are flimsy shit and I can't be arsed to male it out of hardpipe like is originally planned
that's how mine is now but with out the little breather filter would that make much of a difference and i want to mount it on the other side, i spent a while inspecting that picture its actually rely impressive, very neat and tidy
get some oil resistant silicone stuff Blue Silicone Hose Fuel & Oil 1 Metre 16mm | eBay ebayspesh but it looks like ok stuff any other suggestions welcome
Yer ill do a quick pic tmw for ya Get ur pipes from Rally design well priced and good quality stuff. Just type rally design into Google. Dont buy cheap shit off ebay It just falls to bits
