I got mine from Columbia River man. If your gona do it, order 3 45* bends and it will come out bitchen. I also ordered all my t-bolt clamps, and couplers form them. There shit is pretty much the best metal material Ive used.

Freakin clean. I need to work on charge pipes also for the forsaken drag car collecting rust on the side. I have beau's old air/water setup. Going 3 inch also.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #220 on:** January 15, 2010, 09:02:39 PM »

Well I did a little more today. (I think if I do a little every day I might actualy get it finished) Got the uglyest catch can I have ever seen, and I love it......

Now I just need to clean it up and paint it.

I was gona put my deltas in today, but I ended up needing some new cam seals, So im gona go get those from honda tomorrow. And I might just put my cams in this weekend. We will see.

I haven't seen your thread in months... Shit looks good man. Only thing I might reconsider is using steel pipe for the oil drain. I'd just use a couple barb fittings and some hose, and JB weld the fitting going into the oil pan so it never leaks. Vibration would eventually kill the steel pipe if you made it solid.

Clean build though man, engine looks right.

88dx · « **Reply #222 on:** January 15, 2010, 10:25:22 PM »

where/how much was the filter on top of the catch can.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #223 on:** January 15, 2010, 11:14:11 PM »

The filter is just a v8 style breather with gasket from schucks for like $8.99

jdmhatchracer94 · « **Reply #224 on:** January 16, 2010, 01:52:49 AM »

thats where i got my filter but the blingin chrome one was on sale so got that

Well I have 2 turbo oil return flanges, So im gona take one of them and bolt it to my oil pan. It will probably just be a 45* coming out of my oilpan with a barb on it and a 45* out of my turbo with a barb on it and a short pice of rubber hose inbetween. I will see once I get to that point and deal with it then.

I hate squeeze style clamps and hopefully the garden hose doesn't collapse with the heat. Good luck to you sir.

I hate those clamps too, but it was all I had at the time. I need to get some new radiator hose because my top one is starting to bulge and good knows how long I have b4 it explodes. On the garden hose, I picked it up 4 free frome my stepdad, if it shits the bead, I'll go pick up some hose from the hardware store, Or I will get some heater hose. I looked at braded hose and that shit is out of hand how much they want for it. Ill its gona be carring is oil vapor, so its not like its got to be all special.

Well gt the old cams out yesterday, and went to honda to get some oem cam seals so they wont leak like the last ones. Got my new valve cover set up

So today im gona throw the delta's in and set it all up. Im wondering how the 272/260's age gona do NA? We wil see.

BenDover · « **Reply #232 on:** January 17, 2010, 09:32:09 PM »

how you like the greddy bov?

ratcityrex · « **Reply #233 on:** January 18, 2010, 02:14:11 AM »

FUCKING MOTHER FUCKING FAGGOT FUCK SHIT!!!!!!

Well went and put my new cams in today, and while I was tightening down my intake cam, the fucking thing broke in half!!! So I think that while I was doing it, it must have moved and bound up, or it was a fucking piece of shit and just crumbled. I have never seen a cam break like this. So i went against my judgement I put the delta exhaust cam in and put the stock intake cam in. So here is the money shots.

Im gona give delta a call tomorrow and see what they have to say about it.

I love it, it was free. Cant bitch about free. Held 13lbs on the old d16 great.

d-rail · « **Reply #234 on:** January 18, 2010, 02:20:56 AM »

I've never seen a cam break like that in a lope, its usually before or after a lope. Weird.

Thast what I was thinking too.

patsmx5 · « **Reply #236 on:** January 18, 2010, 03:06:40 AM »

So tell me, how do you tigten the caps? Did you run all the bolts down by hand, then turn them all say, 1/4 turn at a time in a pattern progressinig outward till they're all run down flush? Or did you just start tightening one of the caps down? Cause if you don't do it evenly, you put a ton of stress on the cam and it could certainly be enough to bend an aluminum cap or break the cam.

I did this with 1/4" ratchet, And yes, I did the the whole center and working my way out back and forth.

That seems like a really odd spot for it to break.
