Oil Catch Can Routing - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I have been reading alot of threads about the proper way to set up the lines for the oil catch can and most of them are conflicting and dont make much sense so i want to double check to make sure im doing this right.

I have a s13 SR with the stock air intake tube but the Apexi intake on the end. I have the smaller CS can.

So i should leave the PCV alone

The back of the T on the exhaust side of the motor facing the firewall should go to that tube on the back of the motor, oil return?

The front the T should go to the Catch can

The other side of the Can should run to the intake behind or infront of the MAF or does it not matter?

Does this sound right? Thank you very much for your time

Leave the PCV alone. Run a hose from the front port of the breather assy on the vlavecover to the catch can and run another hose from the catch can to the intake tube in front of the turbo. There should be a place for the stock breather hose to go there.

back of tee to tube around the back of the engine *on a seperate line*

front of tee to catch can

Ok yeah so i did have it right, the Apexi intake has a spot for a line but ive heard it might need to be behind the MAF, can any one confirm this.

I also need to order some high temp sleeving so my shit dont melt again.

The breather should hook up to the intake tube between the MAF and the turbo.

the nipple on the apexi intake is for the EAI (that emissions crap). i blocked it off.

other than that, do it as racepar said.
