Just wanted to post pictures of my latest mod. I did this over the weekend. To some of you this might be common knowledge but I thougth I'd share.

Benfits: less oil leaks, more horsepower. The idea is the pistons have less air to move around on the underside on the down stroke.

Cost: $30 for a v8 kit. a v8 kit is good for 2 supras.

Video not by me but interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGrx2rvIxJ0

Also, catch can as shown is optional.

ya i put one on mine, but fucked it up where i put it, didnt put it far enough down the elbow and ended up not pulling enough suction, i may get another welded on farther down and give it a more extreme angle than the 45 that its listed for needing though

that piece that screws on to the exhaust, does that have anything inside of it or is it only for the hose to go on?

My muffler is a straight through design with no cat. The piece on the end of the threads is a check valve so the exhaust gas doesn't go back into the engine. I just installed it far enough downstream from my wideband O2.

I'm going to try to connect my vac/boost guage to it and see what vacuum I get.

Please do so as i'm very interested in seeing how good this actually works. I know it won't be for me as i do have a cat in place. How good would this thing work if you were to weld it to the tube/pipe going to the turbo ?

It would be the same as just running a line to the front of the turbo.


survyor2: I think you should upgrade your lines to -10 because of your power levels and plumb it to the turbo inlet.

where did you hook it up to the engine side ? the2jz supra pic shows that its hooked up to the valve covers i dont see how that would help the underneath of the pistons unless you hooked up a line in the block ? idk but it looks like a sweet idea

The head and block have passages connecting them. Including internal and the external hose near the oil fill cap.
