    Just get it going without one and see if you actually need it.Healthy motor shouldnt need one, unless its a dedicated race car that will spend all its life at high rpm, in that case it may beneficial.
    What did you have in mind?recirculated or open to atmo.
    If you decide to go with one i have couple different ones, Greddy and generic one both second hand.

    A good mate of mine made a 2lt capacity square unit that fits up under the agaurd. It easy to monitor and doesnt clutter the engine bay.  It a must these days for many events if you intend to go that way

    What is the difference / advantages of having the catch can with a vent as opposed to one with out? 
     
    I have been given one with no vent so if I hooked it up the breather on the oil filler plug and to the PCV valve would it work or should it realy be vented?
     
    Cheers

    Without a vent you'll still pressurise the crankcase

    Hi Matt.
    The air is meant to be drawn into the crank via the oil cap then evacuated from the crank case by the manifold vacuum.
    The PCV line from crank case to manifold should be a sealed. The system will still work with a vented catch can but the fumes will be quite obvious (not nice in a road car)
    I ran my PCV line from the crank to a sealed catch can then to the inlet manifold and used a MK1 1300 breather cap as opposed to the sealed MK2 caps which have a barb on them.

    Hi Mate,
     
    I just picked up one of these - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OIL-CATCH-CAN-BREATHER-TANK-2-LITRE-FILTER-OIL-BREATHER-CATCH-CAN-TANK-/110882949352?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19d12388e8
     
    I need one as if you intend to do any racing you need a minimum of 2ltrs for the catch can.
     
    My understanding of the benefits is that it stops the oil rich fumes being recirculated through the engine thus improving the quality of air being used.
     
    Cheers,
     
    Matt

    What level of blow-by are people on here getting when doing a track day?
    I had to plumb in a catch can rather hastily a couple of weeks ago at a track day and ended up with 150-200ml of oil in it after 10 laps flat out (running YB turbo).
    I had driven the car on the road for a couple of months before hand and had pretty well nothing. Compression test shows 145psi on all cylinders (+/- 5psi).
     
    Just interested as to what others are seeing when running at high revs constantly (5-7k).
