Really really s**t pictures but,

My PMS catch can & breather plate turned up today and couldn't wait to open the box.
Will get better pics tomo when I fit it.

 

[JonC219]

Works of art. Like all the PMS stuff [emoji1303]

Guess it bolts to the coolant bottle position?

 

[EVO 4LEX]

How much is the catch can? I can't find it listed on their website?

 

[Chambers_RS]

It won't be listed yet as the next batch aren't finished yet I don't believe.

£250ish price wise and think it bolts to the head where the cam caps are.

 

[EVO 4LEX]

Thanks! I'll look forward to the fitted pics!

 

[Mash.]

Pimp!

 

[masekwm]

Looking at the bolt pattern, it'll sit behind the coil pack mount?

 

[Chambers_RS]

Fits to the head but it doesn't fit mine due to the RS2 manifold.

The tank maybe up for grabs if anyone is interested.

I'll post pics when I'm at work.

 

[Chambers_RS]

Some better pics

This is where it fits.

Unfortunately I can't get my throttle body on due to the tank location, no fault of anyone just a shame.
May sell the tank on as you could easily use this tank with the standard breather plate.
I mainly brought the kit for the breather plate so I'll just get another tank

 

[masekwm]

Yeah, that's where I thought it'd go. Looks lovely!

It'd fit great with their coilpack mount on mine.

 

[Chambers_RS]

Is that a PMS coil pack mount?

 

[masekwm]

Yeah, and the part from PMS to replace the bit of the engine mount you lose

 

[Kelv]

How much was the breather setup from PMS, I can't find it (currently) on their site.

£262 delivered, I asked Dan the same question......... its very pretty!!

 

[Chambers_RS]

Finished off relocating the windscreen washer bottle last night, I've just gotta cut a hole in the scuttle panel to access the lid.

Also cut the holes for my gauges.

 

[Chambers_RS]

New catch can and hoses. Also have a 1/8NPT to 1/8BSP adapator for my spa gauge.

The inner tart in me couldn't cope with brass! Had to be anodised!! Lol

Haha and me really but I'm just wanna get it up running and then I'll change bits again but it will be hidden haha

 

[Chambers_RS]

Did a bit late Wednesday night

Mounted the catch tank under the coolant tank, didn't really have any where else but it should look tidy out the way.

Finished the washer tank aswell

Also tried to seal the manifold to decat gasket as it was blowing. I hate these joints with the spring bolts. Ended up getting angry and with the expansion tank out the way I took the manifold off completely. Plan was to get it in the vice and fit the decat pipe on and feed it back into place.

Perfect time just to bolt the pms one back on

 

[Chambers_RS]

Great minds......

 

[cpaterson76]

Yep and you've done the hard bit (manifold off), on the Trophy I need to drop the sub frame to get the bloody thing off seemingly :/

Manifold came off easy, unbolt it, unbolt the expansion tank and it comes out easy lol
New one is harder to fit tho :wink:

Thought it was built in parts wth spring clips for ease of install?.... Christ need to stop talking about one as I may order it up lol!

Does this help?

Or this

May this?

It is just fiddly and tight lol

 

[Rubicon_]

My god that is nice :hearteyes:

 

[Fletcher]

That looks great

 

[masekwm]

Be interesting to see the results, as thought it needed lairy cams & headwork

 

[Chambers_RS]

I agree it probably is over kill on my spec.
I'm on fancy timing so that should help.

 

[cpaterson76]

Generally notes itb and highlift cams for best results, so it will be interesting to see what the rs2 and manifold do......

But really who cares if works or not..... just look at it.... I need one!!

Haha defo looks awesome. Still gunna flow exhaust gases lol

 

[masekwm]

I just wonder if it'll flow too much and decrease power, but I don't really understand this stuff enough.

 

[jjfernandesly]

ive just read the whole thread. Dribbled a few times. Just given me inspiration for mine.

Amazing spec build.. Alot of pennies gone into this

 

[Keith185]

Car looks awesome love the intake for the maxogen airbox.

 

[Akay]

Looks awesome - are you going to shield or relocate the brake fluid res? Looks very close to the presumably hot manifold!

 

[Chambers_RS]

Made some heat shielding :smile:

The shield over the leads/rocker cover is just a template as I'm waiting on a sheet of aluminium, heat sleeves and gold tape.

Made up a brake servo pipe to link to my RS2 and put some edging around the scuttle cut out for the washer tank as it was cutting my knuckles lol.

Got loads of fiddly jobs taking ages to sort, mainly down to waiting for parts :grimacing:
