oil catch tank, how to fit?

[john182rs]

Anyone know how to fit an oil catch tank for people with ITB's?
I can smell oil faintly inside the car and been told by Tom from JMS at the french car show that a catch tank would stop this.

If anyone has a kit with a visable level on the side that i could fit to my car pm me with a price.

Ok, but how do you fit it? Does anyone have an oil catch tank on their car with pics i could see?

TBH, if it smells of oil fitting a catch tank wont really make that go away. Might be worth finding out why its smelling first, as mine still smells even with a catch tank.

Mine is just on a breather which is down behind the coolant tank, i put my hand under it today and its leaking oil like no tomorrow.

Fit one and see if it helps.

You just take the end of the pipe and attach it to the tank, simples

Hello,
Can anyone help me with something regarding oil catch tank?
Can the return from the oil tank be connected to intake manifold? Or it is better to leave it in atmosphere?

Thanks,
Radu

Usually you want it connected back to the intake manifold.

Usually you want it connected back to the intake manifold.

I would think that connecting it to the acoustic valve take off point would create too much vacuum on the overrun.

A union into the hose between the air filter box and throttle body would be preferable.

Or fit this intake hose.
