    Default B18 Civic Turbo Oil question....

    My buddy has his car at my shop. It is a B18C1 w/ a t5 garret turbo, blah blah. Anyways, his valve cover vent was connected to his intake on the turbo....

    Should he just put a little filter on the Valve cover nipple or put a Oil Catch can? Which would be more effective? He would like to spend the least amount of money so if the little filter will be fine, then he'll do that. lemme know! Aprpeciate it!

    I remember reading somewhere that for a catch cat to be more functional then the proper location for the placing of the fittings has to be lower and not exactly where that nipple is .. but definitely use an oil catch can for turbo applications, just that "nipple" isn't the best place to catch blow-by

    its called a crank case ventilation catch can kit for tubo applications. a normal catch can doesnt do nothing for a tubo app. you have to vent the crankcase of excessive pressure to prolong the piston ring's life under hard boost.

    well actually... the valve cover vent... and the pcv should be connected to the intake side of the turbo... i personally have my vent ran to the intake side of the turbo with a pcv valve in line so it still vents, but without getting oil into the compressor housing... i mean why let the oil leave the engine (into a catch can) in the first place if you can keep it in?

    i just did this yesterday on my turbo gsr. on the back of the block, there is the pcv. its the 90* bend that connects a vacuum hose to the intake manifold. disconnect the hose at the pcv and at the intake manifold. run the hose from the pcv to the catch can and a hose from the catch can to the intake manifold. plug the spot on the intake that he currently has the valve cover hose going to and put the breather filter on the valve cover.

    and for those worried about oil loss into the catch can, its quite easy to run a drain into the oil pan...

    When did they come out with the T5?

    There are numerous catch can threads on certain forums.

    Check this out. Hope it helps.
