Thanks Gary and Cava for the tips. I have gone vented for now and will look at a closed system if the time comes.

Thanks Gary, sounds like a good way to do it. Like everything its only an issue IF you get pulled over. I would be interested to see how you do it on yours when the time comes.

I was under the impression, not venting it would keep it some what legal.

When you had your canister you ran seperate lines to the catch can. Did you run a vacuum line off that at all?

Hi Guys i wanted to get some advice on the right way to run a catch can setup for my new motor. It wont be vented so wanted to see what advice people might be able to offer.

I know you had a setup on you stroker years ago Cava so just wanted to understand more about the right way to run the lines off the valve covers to a either a single can or 2 singles and where i should then run the return line to get the best results.

The new motor has a 4 barrel efi throttle body on top of the torque power manifold.

Thought i would put up some pics of my new garage. Bloody big job when you do it all yourself.

The new garage is only 5 m2 smaller than our 3 bedroom house!!

So glad its almost complete, just need the new hoist to go in and put things away and its full steam ahead again on the Ute.

Hey Southridge, i have used Prix transport from toowoomba and would never touch them again. Car turn up with empty beer cans in the back and sat outside after i was told it would be stored inside at the depot.

I have just used a private transport guy i found on gumtree he was great. I got a non running car  from the back of Perth over to Canberra for $1200. He was old school and looked after everything.

Im sure he works australia wide

His company is Imex haulage Chris Love 0403167370

Hey Sotta, biggest update is i just completed my 4 car garage and all that comes with that. So i can finally get back into the ute next month.

Small amount of wiring and it will be time to finally fire it up for the first time with the stroker. I will keep the updates coming.

[HDN05LParticipant Canberra ACTVS Olympic Edt 383 stroker Ute View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 289]

Nice work must be great to get it to that stage. Whats next for the ute?

[HDN05LParticipant Canberra ACTVS Olympic Edt 383 stroker Ute View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 289]

I love it when i get things in the post.

I also picked up all my parts from powder coating and got my headers back from ceramic coating.

Bloody nice work. There is nothing better than putting clean parts back on your car.
