I have updated my resto thread and you can see with my GT3076r turbo fitted there is no room for my spec r oil breather on the inner wing - so what are people using on their cars?

Quick pics below

 

I've got the old cylindracal one bolted on the bulk head panel next to the battery but for the life of me I can't remember the name of it its either that I've not used the car for months or I'm getting old

ive got one of them too jimbo - a bailey breather/seperator thingy but wanted one like the above as its what my old car had.

Will get a pic of my 3dr engine bay up in a mo.

Is that bailey breather enough for my engine spec?

 

Bailey thats the one works ok on my car bruv which is over 400 horse, soon to 500 horse so I think it should be ok

is the part on your car not just a catch tank??

Luciano

 

here is an engine bay pic off my old 3dr - i have a similar round bailey breather thingy as shown in the pics at the back of the engine bay - is this sufficient for my current spec engine?

 

I've just noticed in the picture what's with that massive spacer on the manifold swan neck?? if it didn't have that it would fit surely??


Luciano

 

thats the spacer needed for everthing to fit - got it from your favourite tuner lol

 

Check this thread out Ran, some good info there -

Lol who's that then hmmm not got one on mine face to face on my one


Luciano

 

yes but jim you have a baby turbo lol

i guess mine should be fine then without the catch tank and will plumb the other end into the block or sump then

 

cheers Danny - its far too complicated for me tho

 

Your gt30 looks like a a/r60 compressor housing?

If so you shouldnt need the spacer. I didn't nor did Brammer and he has my old breather system that's similar to yours.

 

really? i dont know what compressor housing is on it - I know the exhaust housing is 0.63.

I will remove the spacer and see how things fit then

cheers

ran

 

i dont have a spacer and still use the spec r catch tank

 

right, im gonna remove that spacer block then - anyone need one - its going cheap

 

Before you sell the block make sure you have enough room between the compressor housing and the manifold (the base of the comp housing where it's near the manifold)

You may be able to cut the spacer in half to make clearance better

With the .60 A/R you shouldn't need one but.....

I even have a 500 heatsheild in their too but it's tight

 

ive asked my mate to remove the spacer and see how things fit - he states it will move the turbo closer to the head so will have to see how we get on - otherwise im gonna sell the spec r tank

 

god the easy fix is to rework the breather tank wouldnt take a pro 15mins to cut it and reweld it and would cost next to nowt

 

Mine didn't need a spacer lol

 

Iv got the same breather on mine but i had it cut shorter and welded back up mate

 

I'll buy the turbo spacer if you don't need it.
