[DIY] Oil catch tank

[nassershah]

Hmm.. it shouldn't have done that. Unless the fuel filter is too 'compact' to allow air flow to move? Perhaps you could try using a proper OCT instead?

Thank you Sir..I'm actually using a proper OCT.., the fuel filter were only for testing purpose and both failed the test..lol..guess there's no way to install it on a kancil... as a matter of fact I don't recall any of the kancil owners' i've read about had actually admit or even claimed they had succeed/successfully installed it.
Thanks again Sir.

Hi

DIY'd my own oil catch can. The iswara paper fuel filter didn't work for me. After much researched, decided to go with Saiko Michi Oil Catch with Internal Baffle Design.

I used:
1) Gillette Can (recycled)
2) 1/4" barbed adaptor (RM 7)
3) Epoxy to keep and seal the side valves (RM 11)
4) Copper tubing that runs from the top inlet to the middle (RM 1)
5) Stainless steel mesh (RM 3)
6) 3/4 male-male connector and pvc cap (RM 1)

Here's a few pictures, I'm sure you get the idea.

Consideration:
1) It is best to get a can with a wider diameter
2) If you're running a turbo, get a bigger can.

Thanks.

Doesn't matter. I'm using the 9mm one.

Hello izso,

1stly tq for the interesting idea. :)

i've tried it on my friend's wira 4g15 (stock except open pod filter), after doing it, when he starts his car, idling was very high at 3k rpm for a while before dropping to 1k+ rpm which is still high... can i know what is the problem?

what i did was connect the valve in the middle of the rocker cover to the fuel filter, then connect it back to before throttle body... anything else is untouched...

and for the fuel filter, the hole on top with the arrow is inlet or outlet?

Thank you in advance!

Hi bro, thanks for reading my posts!

Is your friends wira a VDO? MMC? Carburetor? Can you take pics of how you did the install? If you connected from the middle of the rocker cover and connect back to the intake, I think you didn't install properly. My rocker cover outlet is connected to a mini open pod, venting to atmosphere. The intake portion is sealed off. The filter I installed is on the other side, erm... I think there's a photo in one of the earlier posts of my 4G15 with this OCT.

wira se 2008 if i'm not wrong..

yeah i saw the one u connect is on the right side of the rocker cover, however i tried it with a cotton bud and there's no oil stain, initially i taught that's the wrong one.. so the one in the middle is the breather, and the one on the side is the pcv?

Now, he followed the configuration as your pictures, except having the mini open pod, works well for now. :)

One more thing, for the iswara fuel filter, top hole and bottom hole, which 1 is the inlet and which 1 is the outlet?

Thank you again!

Fuel filter I use the bottom as the outlet, but it doesn't really matter because it's a two way filter. It's not flow controlled.

The filtered oil from the gillette oil catch, about 1.5mths worth or approx 2,500km of mileage :)

wow.. that's a lot of oil..

i think u should do top overhaul, grind valve, etc

 

[Caarzee]

Hi D7zul,

Thanks for the heads up. I don't have white smoke coming from the exhaust though.

Curious to understand more.

Thanks.

 

[Caarzee]

a week's worth. pretty bad, aint it?

 

[D7zul]

a week's worth. pretty bad, aint it?

yup.. that's bad..

can u show a pic of where u put that OCT?

and i think ur exhaust doesn't blow white smoke because ur piston ring is ok.. it's just ur engine head that's problem..

u got lot of oil on ur air filter or throttle body b4 u put this OCT?

 

[Caarzee]

Hi D7zul,

Sorry for the late reply. Was on a sick leave.

Here's the pictures. The color coded ones are Blue(1) - PCV to Blue(2) Inlet OCT to Yellow(3) Outlet OCT to Yellow(4) Inlet Intake Manifold.

Yeah, I think previously intake manifold was oily black. I haven't check since I put in the OCT. Probably need to get two 3bond engine cleaner soon. Besides lesser engine oil and the need to top it up, what are things that I need to be wary of?

Let me know of your thoughts.

Thanks.

 

[D7zul]

the Blue(1) doesn't have any kind of valve at the hole?

my 20v silvertop got a valve there & it only open when the engine head got high pressure..

i think this valve prevent ur oil to get out of d engine..

what engine is that? sorry, i didn't recognize it

 

[me2kimi]

Hi bro zul. Actually what I have discovered are differ from yours.
PCV valve will always open when there is vacuum from intake manifold, not open only if got high pressure.

I've confirm this, when I unplug PCV valve from cam cover (with vacuum hose attached and engine running) I can heard whistling sound came from PCV valve. Which mean PCV valve operate without any pressure.

Please correct if I'm wrong
