Fitting to AGU is easy, after Wazzzer explained it.. :afro: When you got it ill post pics of the 3 connections if you want.
saikou michi FTMFW !!
Not sure what that bit means, but saiko michi is easiest as has 19mm ports, also is the most expensive :sad:
-
for the mother f**king win :grin:
-
That one is a bit pricie not that I'm tight wen it comes to my car and the other thing is I wanted it soon as posible that's why eBay is best that way I can collect it if there close lol
-
you will have to get a 15mm one then and just by reducers..
-

Remember with any of the ebay ones, you will also need 2x silicone reducers and 2x joiners @9mm or 15mm , and will also need corresponding T peice and elbow..

i've just emailed saikou michi for a price for one (or more) so if they get back to me soon I'll let you know what the price is....
I have an AGU and in London too...... (dunno if I'll be fitting myself though - I got confused reading how to's so stopped...! I guess I prob will end up doing it though)
-

-
I've looked on eBay the only ones I can find have one 15mm inlet and one 9mm outlet
-
they are £90 depending on the exchange rate.
-
Is this one any good. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Oil-Catch-Can-15mm-fittings-Universal-Breather-Tank-/230563982496?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35aeaf2ca0#ht_500wt_922
-

-
Lol I cant even find one with two 15mm inlets let alone one with no clear bit lol some one please help me
-
There was loads on there, like sh1tloads, with both 15mm inlet and outlets but cant even find one on there now, how weird :shocked:
-

Toyosports one 9mm or 15mm, you choose for both?
Has level pipe on side of it, but heard good things about toyosports, think they do FMIC's too?

Also pretty sure you could remove the level bit and block the holes up if your that worried, or if it breaks..

Yeah man, i got a full stainless off them for my old civic, quality was excellent, same as a japspeed system without the badge!

Use the search button, this has been posted about loads of times. I used an Ebay one with 15mm ports as did many others and none of us encountered any issues, it just depends if you want to pay more and have a namebrand catch can fitted....

if you contact the seller they will add other bits (such as a 19mm bend) for a few pounds more without a problem. :smiley:
mine turned up this mornin and i've tried it on the can inlet/outlet - it is very loose so will need reducing.
have done it by slipping rubber pipe onto the inlet then the 19mm hose onto this making a tight fit. :shocked:
Am i right in thinking that these pipes are not under pressure???? :undecided:
-
What you've done will be fine with a jubilee clip tightened up over the top....

http://uk-mkivs.net/forums/t/269734.aspx
found this guide is this how everyone else has done it????
-
Yer I see that one but it's not for the agu lol so I wanted one that explains exactly wot needs to be done on the agu thanx any way though
-
Ill get you some pics Ian.
Hardest thing to do is get your oil resistant hose to bend in the right places to mount it..
It aint that flexible mate
-
well ours isn't cos the walls are so bloody thick!
-
my 19mm hose was terrible for bends.. luckily when fitting a catch can unless your hiding the pipes for an average Joe fit there is no major bends.. the thread on ukmkiv's i followed was for an aum but from reading what he posted all the engine are slightly different even aum to aum... once you start ripping it all out its easy peezy to know what can be got rid of and where to route pipes.. I'd never fitted one before and sussed it out easily...
-
Yeah neither had i, but you dont have a FMIC pipe right by one of the outlets :laugh:
Also the one coming up that gets 'T'ed' into that one was a 'mare :sad:
-
just relocate slightly i cant see it being that much of a problem :undecided:
-
PITA i can assure you, the hose i got for can would not bend like that..

-
use a 90 degree elbow ??
-
use a 90 degree elbow ??
Not enough room, the outlet that the hose goes on could touch the charge pipe if hose wasnt pushing it the other way, no room for outlet - hose - elbow before you get to pipe..
-
what about heating up the pipe in boiling water ??
-
Eventually goes back, wall thickness bout 5mm mate, 19mm ID and pretty much 30mm OD :laugh:
-
i na its sh!t aint it thats another bad reason to fitting a cheap intercooler kit :smug:

Prefer to save myself 480quid and have to squeeze things in abit :wink:
