FICD is fast idle control device. Kembara uses a manual one that is why that was used and can be tuned.....
Um... I change it every 20k km. But even then it's barely 1/4 full
Me too bro, I used the iswara fuel filter like how izso did .I just use a RM7 carb plastic fuel filter as my oil catch tank.....lol
Give you something to do. Plastic carb one nothing to do, just hook up.....lolMe too bro, I used the iswara fuel filter like how izso did .
Thinking of doing this on the Vios dugong lol.
JBWeld you can't buy here. Superlon black coloured sealant might work but I'm not sure how it'll hold up in engine bay heat. And if you're gonna make this skip the indicator as that's usually the biggest culprit for vacuum leaks.Hey Guys,
Anyone knows where to get these parts ?
It's to make an oil catch can.

Elbow fitting
Pneumatic press fit elbow fittings
And the black colour glue this guy used.
Hmmm, good tips bro.JBWeld you can't buy here. Superlon black coloured sealant might work but I'm not sure how it'll hold up in engine bay heat. And if you're gonna make this skip the indicator as that's usually the biggest culprit for vacuum leaks.
oh yea, you done it before lol.I never understood why engine manufacturers routed blow-by gases back into the intake manifold. All the oil vapour (read : Oil) gets trapped there and completely clogs the throttle body and intake manifold causing sluggish performance, inaccurate idling and in some cases engine dying off due to overly low idling.
In order to counter this problem, some budding aftermarket enthusiast created the Oil Catch Tank (OCT) and connected it to the PCV valve catching all the oil vapour therefore keeping the intake manifold relatively clean.

So I was thinking, is there a DIY-er way of doing this OCT without spending too much? Yes there was.
Tools needed :
1. Iswara Fuel filter
2. Automotive rubber hose
3. Clamps
Locate the PCV valve in your car (usually it's a rubber hose going from your cylinder head going into your intake usually before the throttlebody).
Replace this hose with your makeshift OCT and you're pretty much done.
The Iswara fuel filter has paper filters in it which will trap the oil vapour (read : Oil) and collect it in the filter. So be sure to replace the filter once it fills up (eventually). RM6 bucks give or take!
Enjoy!
Disclaimer : I've only done this for my Wira, Myvi and Toyota Unser without adverse effects. I do not and will not claim that this works for all car makes and models
I've done this before. It didn't really work well for me. The plastic oil filter kinda compressed from the vacuum.is this the breather hose for the myvi K3-VE engine ?

shouldnt we route the breather hose to the oil catch can as well if the article says the breather hose also has blow by gas.
lol, i'm in need of experts opinions.
What if the indicator instead of using the press fit type but the one like the brass elbow fitting wan like the one on top.JBWeld you can't buy here.

I dunno. The leak I've usually seen happen is where the indicator is connected to the can itself.What if the indicator instead of using the press fit type but the one like the brass elbow fitting wan like the one on top.
Is it still possible that it's going to leak ?
