You could go into one of the Hydraulink or Coopers Fluids type shops, or if you are in the mining game - your workshop, and look at hydraulic fluid hoses. Hydraulink in Kalgoorlie helped me out with hoses and stainless reducer fittings at a good price.

Originally posted by GXL14 View PostI installed an oil catch can about a 10 months ago. I also used heater hose to connect it to the engine.
I noticed the the hose from the engine breather to the oil catch can has a few fine cracks in it.
How often do you change the hoses if you use heater hose?
Also I am looking at sourcing a more suitable hose to use rather than a heater hose.
Can anyone suggest a more suitable oil/heat resistant silicone black hose and supplier?

Well I ordered a Provent knock-off. This thing is HUGE! I literally have no-where to put it. The ABS module is in the way behind the airbox, dual batt in front, and I have the 3rd fuel filter and compressor on the back passenger side.... Think ill have to put this one up for sale to recoup my costs and figure an alternative....

hmmm i tried next to aux battery wouldnt fit with the batt I have there, and would have to make some crazy bracketry to get it to the side of the engine bay. Not to mention the trans cooler hoses that are now located there also.
I do like that position down low under the car.... any more pics of that?
I hope my provent knockoff is the same size as yours, it does look quite similar.
excuse my exasperation, done many jobs on the car this last week and this bloody thing just kicked my ass at the wrong time of day....

I relocated the can primarily because now I can change/clean the filter without having to remove the whole unit. A second filter cost $80 odd off ebay. I clean one whilst running the other. The dump pipe, fitted with a threaded bolt, sits just inside the front right of the BD bash plate.Dave

I need some help with a catch can install. Am I right with the attached photos? I have a snorkel and have looked at other pics but cant seem to find anything that assists me with the return hose. Also you might be able to see in the first pic it looks like my rocker cover has been cracked and temp fixed (glue or something?) at one stage (is this a big worry?). So was thinking that I will do the catch can install at the same time as replacing the cover if required.Last edited by KANDYG; 31-08-2015, 07:16 PM.[url]www.wickedphotos.com.au[/url]

Out from rocker cover outlet pipe, through can and into pipe near turbo as you have correctly arrowed. Don't worry about the cover it's just that a plastic cover with heat shield. The true rocker cover is underneath that and sealed. The intercooler is easy enough to remove to make the plumbing job easier.Dave

You don't. It will have a very light coating of oil residue which isn't enough to worry about. If you try to remove that with a degreaser or other liquid solvent you will have a problem getting all the liquid out and the internals completely dry. You can clean the larger metal pipe from the turbo to the inter-cooler inlet and you can give the throttle body a quick wipe as well.Dave
