Josh K. Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 It's coming along I see your going Z32 Blow through MAF. I ran the same setup on my SR successfully. Only downside is after a few months she's starts running rich and you need to clean the MAF wire due to oil from the turbo. Kind of a PITA but worth it to not have a Recirculating BOV and also the air is much smoother. The Z32 MAF is one finicky bitch!! Another issue is the hoses blowing off due to the slickness of the plastic. I scored mine in a criss cross pattern with a razor knife. I think I also used hair spray. I was running 18psi daily. Just a heads up. -Josh 1 Quote Link to comment

dennis Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 how did you SR guys run your catch cans? I am running mine on the tray above the BMC. Make sure you go with a vented can or modify a Geddy type can to vent with a npt motorcycle breather. I would show you mine but it is on my bench with a tap into into it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Oil-Catch-Can-Honda-Nissan-Mitsubishi-Toyota-Subaru-Chevy-Ford-Chrysler-BMW-VW-/400314481927?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5d349a3d07&vxp=mtr I have a couple of those cans. I am going to lay it flat, then swap the visual tube with the lower barb so it can give you an accurate reading if it is laying on its side. Then with the top fitting I will tap it for a 1/4" npt and run a motorcycle breather in it. it will be similar to Kevins 510 Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 This is going to be badass. Lots of good work so far. Motivation to get going on my dime Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Thanks fit the information Dennis. I have a greddy catch can with a small filter coming off it but the previous owner said it would spit oil out. It's set up just like the one above so I think I'm going to run it that same way but put a larger filter on it. And I don't have time to search right now but what's a motorcycle breather do?

The SR oil catch system was designed to breath, reducing pressure in the valve cover. The catch can will fill up with oil but you have to drain it when it fills up, this is why you can see a sight tube to monitor the levels. The S13 is notorious for dumping a lot of oil into catch cans, this is due to a poorly designed valve cover baffle. This problem was corrected with the S14/15 with improved baffling. You can also buy modified S13/14 Hybrid valve covers from Togue Factory. Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Good to know thank you sir. I'll probably just modifi my current greddy catch can and put one of those breathers. Ps my white I chose Quote Link to comment

dennis Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 i like this pic and my other baby I had a real 70 454SS, I sold it in 2000 for 6,000 because I was moving. One of the biggest mistakes of my life, it was in good shape and I probably could have sold it now for 20k. Quote Link to comment
