Okay, 'cause I have my customized Takeda setup sitting in a box right now looking for a new home. I could drop it off with Rob if you guys wanted to do some R&D with it. I never really got the chance to do any tuning with Rob myself.

So, question; do you have an upgraded intake yet?

This thread stopped being a 3.6R specific thread a long time ago.

So, being that this is a thread for just 2012 GT's, do any of you wanna be a cool kid like GTEASER and have a d-shaped DAMD steering wheel? If so, I happened to have one for sale so shoot me a pm. (sorry for the thread-jack, GTEASER )

My new car which I'm picking up the 29th claims to have 302hp (@6500rpm) and 273ft-lbs (@3500-5250rpm). I'll bring it to Rob and see what it's really getting. His website already lists a tune for it that gains 25hp & 30ft-lbs. Since I'm leasing the vehicle though, I'm probably not going to be doing any mods to it.

Check your PMs

No

Okay, so reviving the oil catch can theme for a moment. I was under my hood today testing out bulbs on my battery when I happened to look at my Mishimoto catch can that's hooked up the the PCV line. The indicator tube shows that the can is about 1/3 full of oil. The can has a capacity of 16oz (1pt), but I do have it stuffed with stainless steel mesh which will add some displacement. So, I am going to say there's probably between 2-3oz of oil and stuff in there. When I get around to draining it, I'll know for sure, but that's about 1/8 of a pint that was kept out of my manifold. I know that ain't much, but for a NA car, it shows that the can actually does something. Previous to this, I had only once before found oil in the catch can between oil changes, and that was my last oil change where I didn't use the Nanotech additive. After using the Nanotech for the next three oil changes, I had zero oil in the catch can. I had run out of the Nanotech, so it wasn't added last oil change, and after 6K miles, there's oil in the can again. So, there may be a correlation.

nadracer has a tuned 2010, maybe his tuner has a backup of his stock ROM

Getting in touch with him is not the issue, it was a ROM issue with EcuTek and my '12; Rob was looking into it for me. But like I said, I didn't really follow up because of other non-car related projects that I've been spending my money on. That's also why I haven't been too active on the forum last couple months. This winter weather hasn't exactly cooperated either.

I never heard back from AMR, but it's just as well. I wound up dumping a bunch of money into a few non-car related projects as well as my upcoming trip to Fla. Maybe come May or June I'll give some more serious thought into getting it done.

I have those from iJDMToy. I really like them.

If you disconnected or capped off the PCV line, then yeah, built up pressure will escape the path of least resistance. That's why we don't cap off both lines; the POLR would be your engine seals.

You may want to check your PCV valve.

I have two cans; one connected to PCV, one to breather. I have had a little bit of oil in the PCV can, but nothing at all in the breather can. With no boost, I don't really expect to catch that much anyway.

Exactly, and it allows the catch can to do what it is designed to do.

None of this makes sense. If you have the PCV go to the catch can, where do it go from there, are you venting it into the atmosphere? That's illegal in California. If you're capping the outlet of the catch can instead, the how would vapors get in there? Think of it this way; get a straw and blow into one end with your finger plugging the other end. As far as the check valve on the breather line; that's exactly what a PCV valve does but instead of going into the manifold post throttle body, the breather goes into the intake before the throttle body. The breather line is supposed to supply air to the crankcase, the PCV vents the vapors out. When the PCV valve is closed, like at idle, some vapors will enter the breather. The manifold creates the vacuum which pulls the air and vapors through the system. Cap it, and no air will circulate and pressure builds up in the crankcase. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/positive-crankcase-ventilation-system.htm http://www.aa1car.com/library/pcv.htm http://www.agcoauto.com/content/news/p2_articleid/197

That's the PCV line. If you place the OCC in line with that, how can you plug the port on the intake manifold? Where would the OCC vent to? That's exactly what the PCV valve does already. With your setup the way it's described, your crankcase will have no way to release the pressure built up and you'll probably blow a bunch of engine seals and/or gaskets.

Mine was the same (Mishimoto - non-baffled version). I stuffed mine with stainless steel wool. I also added a tube to the "In" port that extends to about half way down in the can to force the vapors to go up through the ss wool before exiting the can. My homemade one is of similar design.

Which is why I have two. But to be honest, neither are catching much of anything.

That's the breather line.

The throttle body has nothing to do with the catch cans. The pcv/breather lines connect to the intake tube and the intake manifold. I wouldn't cross or combine those lines.
