Well, today i deceided to fit my recently arrived earthing kit (courtesy of Miami GT). Seeing as i had to use a decent earth at the offside front of the bonnet, i deceided to use the bolt fixing my catch tank to the inner 'lip' of the bumper top. Having removed the catch tank, thought it would be a good idea to empty it out. Took off the hoses, removed the small blocking grub screw (it's a greddy item BTW), and went to drain it out. What came out can only be described as runny brown shit! :thumbdown: In fact, not unsimilar to that you get in baby's nappies (yum!) plus a bit of oily water. Now, apart from being a bit amused by the 'discharge' :tongue: , i am somewhat worried. Is this what is meant ot come out, or is my soop suffering a monumental bout of the shits! :confused: I guess it's the action of the oil emulsifying with the water and air mix to produce a 'mousse', but has anyone else experienced this (rather amusing) effect?

Here's a drawing I made while ago in how you get your catch tank connected ... Just per in mind that you can use only the turbo side source ... and leave the intake side as stock .... OR ... you can connect both side through a T .... Both will have the same effect since they are connected internally.

I dunno if this is a dumb ass question or not.....but do standard supra's have some sort of catch tank then??? if not where does all this brown oily/water crap go??

 

In the intercooler and any that makes it through gets burnt up I'd imagine in the mix.

All modern cars have a closed breather system. Crankcase gases and carried over oil get recycled into the air intake.

 

On part throttle, it goes into the system after the throttle body. At WOT it goes in before the throttle body but after the air filter.
