Wow, your car looks sweet as, love them wheels. CF bonnet weave looks almost photoshopped lol.

[Ryan1985]

I like it Clarky but what does the catch can do and why have you got another wee mini filter thing (forget the name)?

Cheers

[clarky]

Ok - when I relocate the induction system I'll have to do something with the Crank Case Filter ... soooo ... to get it ready I've put in a hose that runs to the catch can - where the oil vapour can condense and be removed. The filter then acts as a breather for the can itself.

A few others have done this without the catch can .. by putting the filter directly on the crank case breather.

Does that make sense?

Oh - and despite appearances - the carbon is the real deal - no photoshopping involved I promise.

looking very nice mate, mines a **** hole!

I relocated my filter, and just but filter directly on the crank case, but i have no crank case filter.

Will this cause any probs, had a 7hour drive yesterday apexi was slightly warm thouygh it would be freezing?!?

though crank filter was warmer as it just hanging out tied with a tie rap. to be honest dont know exaclty wot it does, will it use more oil or something? ! :)

How about a mini heat shield is it worth it?

[Ryan1985]

Loud and clear clarky but why do the people without the relocated induction kits not have a breather filter?

[clarky]

Everyone I 've seen have them - Kimi, Earpl etc

The crank case filter or hose just takes oil fumes away from the head as far as I know ...

Been thinking of a heat shield - but decided to go for the relocation on the basis that it'll help with my planned cold air intake ... again - keeping the heat down.

One thing I did notice was that there is more of a whine from the engine now .. could be co-incidence?

[clarky]

Are you gonna make the heat shield yourself? If so - go for it and let me know it it works!

Will do, just need to make sure it block heat and doesnt get choked

[jonbro2000]

Looking good! I like the blue EM cover. Any other plans for colour co-ordination?

[clarky]

Hoses mainly ... although I've got good with the spray can now ..

Suggestions?

[Crisis]

That bonnet looks king man. Nice weave in it. Needs to look like that always! Georgeous!

[Monster-Mat]

looks good, However, theres always a However............Your Catch can is mounted wrong, it should be Upright, so on the "sight pipe" on the side you can see if your collecting oil......

[clarky]

Yeah - I was aware of this and did try to find a mounting point to allow this - but no space I'm afraid. Sight pipe still works though...

after you do the hoses i`d leave it at that. it`s just nice, don`t go over board, its just nice i like it alot

Great Pics Lorne, your engine bay is looking fantastic. I need to fit a catch tank to mine when I get a chance. I also have another Varis bonnet en route, very tempted to fit it to mine although with the Supra draining all my resources atm I may have to wait a while.

Thanks

Cheers guys - the hoses should finish it off.

Kevin - you know that you need the bonnet ... and because its such a good fit its a doddle to put on - go on you know you want to!

[jonbro2000]

What about a Battery cover?

[Demonic Angel]

Just had to say that I love all the blue bits!

Dunno what they are or what they do but I love them!

[clarky]

Was actually thinking of a plished Battery tray - thought it would balance up the catch can?

[cfc1]

I think you should throw that whole pile of crap away.

Preferably in my back garden, that way i can fit it to mine

Looking good m8.

[kimi]
