blow by tubes

[idahotuner]

has anyone upgraded the tubes that go from the block to the T on the head with SS. if so where did you get the stuff to do it. i am getting an after market catch can. and i will put it inbetween the intake and the T but with my new manifold i think the stock ruber hose will melt and i dont want to do some cheesy tin foil wrapping.

get some -10 AN line, and cut to length.

[idahotuner]

-10 AN line never heard of it?

[Blown240sx]

I know what AN line is but -10? Is that a size? and if so I would say a 6AN would do it.

[idahotuner]

isit just a stainless steel line or is it rubber? i cna go to like napa and tell them i want An6 and they know what i am talking about cause i dont lol.

yes, it's a size for fittings and hose.

It's SS covered rubber hose, much like SS brake lines. They should know if Napa sells it (can't remember), but -6 AN is too small. Use the -10 and get a small piece to make sure it fits properly before buying too much of it.

-10 AN line never heard of it?

keep in mind this price is for 20 feet.

...and i will put it inbetween the intake and the T ....

negative. Put the can in between the block and the T like the factory can is. A good place to locate the can to keep lines short is over by the clutch master cylinder (if your can will fit that is)

[idahotuner]

aw. yea well that is whati was thinking i new that was the stock location but i didnt know how to do it wil the tubes runing over my manifold. i checked out that link and yea that will be nice and work well. use that instead of the tubing that comes with the catch can. i am planing on a circuit sport mini catch can. it says all fitting sizes are 15 mm for the sr20. http://phase2motorsports.store....html

[homeslicej2]

I'm not sure what size that is in AN. Call summit racing up, they should be able to tell you what is the closest AN size.

[idahotuner]

k thanks. for the help.

[homeslicej2]

No problem.

[idahotuner]

ok one more question about this, i know the stock catchcan goes between the block and the head, but if i put it on the other side of the T then it would keep stuff from getting into my intake, which doesnt seems liek it could be good.

[idahotuner]

There's about 1 post a day about this. The consensus is that stock catch can position is best. If I understand correctly it's because the only time oil will come out of the T is during vacuum, in which case it will get sucked away from the intake into the block. Hopefully someone can verify that cuz I'm not 100% sure.

[idahotuner]

yea that makes since. i just have to figure out how to mount it lol. will do

zip ties and self tapping screws FTW

[idahotuner]

lol i want it to look a little bit more profesional then that.

[homeslicej2]

^in my personal experience, that's what many "professionals" do anyway.

[idahotuner]

lol. my dad and i arnt paid but we perfere stuff to be a clean installation.

[homeslicej2]

Me too, and it's aggravating as piss when you go back after a "pro" shop and half to see/clean up their half azzed work DIY

[idahotuner]

lol yea. my dad got completely screwed by a proshop with his motor bike.

[homeslicej2]

Yeah, I got screwed to the tune of ~$2400 in labor and taxes by a "pro" shop. I guess more like $2k really though as I didn't pay for shipping charges on parts and their parts prices were really competitive.

doing your own work FTMFW

[idahotuner]

werd i am doing almost eveerthing my self. big leaning experience as i have onyl done body work before, the tune and head work is the only thing i am not doing.

[homeslicej2]

doing your own work FTMFW

Yeah, machining and tuning needs to be left to pros, but make da*n sure they know what they are doing.

Ok, I always see different ways to hook up aftermarket catchcans...what is the proper way? Remover the stock one also? Im assuming thats what that black box thing is in this picture?

The black box is the factory catch can, if you are putting in an aftermarket can, remove the factory can and put the new one in its place. The only real benefit of the aftermarket one is that it does not dump the oil back into the crankcase, it holds it in the can until you drain it manually, therefore keeping your oil cleaner
