Catch Can install = sh!te Job
« on: 14 November 2010, 17:41 »
Fitted my Saikou Michi catch can today on the old girl and what a bloody hard job lol i thought i will nip down to the garage wack it on and bobs your uncle well no it took me like 2 hours to get the old PCV system off and then i lost the really important circlip so spend 40 minutes finding that  :grin: the re-fitting the really important circlip was nigh on impossible.. I also got bored at one point and pretty much blocked every thing.. i have got rid of the PCV valve and the suction jet pump and some other valve things.. and seems a lot better now.. Only time will tell if its working.. all in all i went down there at 11am today and got back at 17:15 but the result is it looks awesome.. also changed fuel filter and colder spark plugs..

No pics as it got to dark.. most people know what they look like anyways..

Just thought i would let yas know.. Oh yer its a 2002 aum..

meaning you can't just stick a breather filter on and vent all the vapour into the air like I used to with my old Fords  :grin:
