Also keen how you got AN fittings on the head breathers. Torque so;utions do a kit but that is for the newer models with 2 head breathers and 2 CCV points on the block. They just heat and pop off, then freeze and pop in with some sealant. Just a bit expensive when on the older 2000 model you only need half the fittings. If you are getting a burning smell in the cabin you should be adding some sort of media or mesh into your cans and running the top port back into the Intake manifold and PCV and using the breather filters as the inlet. They cans should be completely closed and not vent into your engine bay. The oil, now supposedly cleaned from the air is sucked back into your intake pipe and PVC where it would normally go from OEM and this keeps Vacccum in the motor. You don't need an AOS, Dual Catch cans are a better setup if done properly
You're right, I would like to recirculate the cans back into the intake but I was told if any oil accidently gets into the intake it can damage the DBW throttle plate. So I'm a bit worried but I believe after doing a little more research I'll be able to decide what's the best way to recirculate. The cans have a mesh element in them and I would definitely prefer to keep them rather than move to an AOS. Regarding the rocker cover AN breathers. I got them from a company in the UK called 'Bachler Racing'. I don't know if they still exist but if not, there are companies like 'Fuji Racing' in the UK that make a similar product. Hope this helps! Cheers!
I can’t say I’m an expert but from what I understand, you always want the hose diameter to increase as it makes it’s way to the cans and not decrease so as not to create a lower pressure point.
The rocker cover breathers are from a company called Bachler Racing in the UK. They have -8AN ports. The 90 degree fittings are from Vibrant Performance. Hope this helps!
nice video! I thought the purpose of 2 catch cans was 1 can for both rocker breathers and side port crank case and the other can was installed between the the top crank case breather and PCV valve on the intake. Thats how I installed mine. I was told if the car is mostly street driving to not vent to atmosphere as it need vacuum from intake and turbo inlet to help crank case ventilation. Im thinking of buying iwire battery location. keen to see your next video and get some tips !!
I don’t know what the best way is but this is what I was recommended to do. Recirculating back into the intake is a good idea and I was considering it myself but I’m not sure it’s a must. The EJ205 has only a side port crank case breather. I’m guessing you have an EJ207 or EJ257 if you have a top crank case breather as well.
Don’t have a diagram but as explained in the video, the rocker cover breathers are joined under the intake manifold and go to one catch can. The crank case breather goes to the other catch can.
@@TheGCJourney ok, ive got a catch can but its messy as, i have 15.9mm hose, 12.5mm hose, id rather have one type just need a better idea how to fit it without spending loads it has 1 outleft each valve cover, pcv valve under throttle body, 2 ports coming out of block ej207 w20c even when running 20 psi i wasnt getting much in the catch can
@@karlogrady4907 My main issue with them is that: 1) they vent to atmosphere and all the fumes enter the cabin. 2) they fill up pretty quick and start squirting everywhere on track days. Recirculating AOS should solve both issues (hopefully).
@@TheGCJourney makkes sense mate, i hope the AOS will solve the issues, could you not re-serc the catch cans back to the turbo intake pipe ? Admittedly that wont stop them filling up tho
@@karlogrady4907 I could and I was going to but it is my understanding that it doesn’t do as good of a job at separating the air from the oil and that could result in oil entering the intake which could be damaging to the DBW throttle body.
Nice and clean job
just like i love
Thank you my brother ❤️
Gotta love that dipstick 🤩
Yeah, it’s a nice feature 😎
נראה סולידי מאוד!
הכל יושב טוב 🤤

What coolant turbo swirl is that? I see a radium cap but can’t find anything from radium that resembles it. Kindly share link if possible. Thanks
Hey, it's made by a company in the US. Their website is www.Aluminati.us.
Cheers
Much thanks
Nice set up. 👍
Thanks bud! More upgrades to follow 😬😬😬
Are bigger pipes needed for single breathers like ej22 and 205 or better catch cans
I can’t say I’m an expert but from what I understand, you always want the hose diameter to increase as it makes it’s way to the cans and not decrease so as not to create a lower pressure point.
@@TheGCJourney thanks a lot the guy keep popping his dipstick with the ej22
where did you get both valve covers pcv connection connectors?
how did you convert it to 90degree? factory is facing straight up using hose.
thanks!

IAG AOS! When you gonna learn?! 😆
You know a lot of track cars add catch cans to their AOS systems? I decided to skip that part 😉
If you use the EJ22T you will have 2 crank case vents as well. The second one is behind the power steering pump.
2.2 ltr blocks are awesome 🤩
@@TheGCJourney They are getting increasingly harder to find.

nice build mate, did you block off the PCV valve on the intake manifold ?? cheers
Thanks mate! Yes, PCV valve has been blocked off.
I’m currently thinking of converting to an AOS setup so might go back to using the PCV valve.
@@TheGCJourney gotch thanks. Have there been any problems with the catch cans or just fancy the change to AOS ?
