one thing that people have been asking us for since we started doing youtube stuff is how to
fit videos for our products so um justin's car's in the workshop prime opportunity to
fit one of the only products that he doesn't have which is our oil catch tank kit
he's got a ebay china tank on there at the minute and as you can see his engine base
covered in oil because they don't do a very good job of actually catching any
so we'll whip that off first and then we'll go through the install process of our kit
take his hose off the cam cover breather these are usually covered in oil
i mean i say his engine most covered in all this is actually my engine so hopefully it doesn't
breathe too heavy but i can't guarantee that it wasn't supplied to justin with um
it's its health as the primary factor it was supplied to justin as an engine that
works
i'm sure not all of the oil in his engine bay is um from the ebay catch tank i'm sure a lot of
it is from his engine failure but uh that does feel either very heavy or very full of oil but
we can investigate that later so just before i start i'm just gonna give it all a wipe down
around where we're actually going to fit the tank the first thing to do is going to actually fit the
tank we use the stock air box mount point we just drive an m6 machine screw through there and we put
an m6 nut on underneath so we've got the engine bay stripped out now justin's old catch tank
and we need to get the enhanced one in there now first thing we need to do is actually prep the
tank to be fitted so we've got to put this bung in the bottom
there'll be a bung in your kit usually with the nut and the bolt so i've just uh put that in
there hand tight and i'm just going to nip it up with the spanner 12 millimeter spanner on there
we don't need to go crazy tight just just nipped up just so it's not going to rattle out
then with the nut and bolt provided i'm just gonna stick the bolt straight through the hole
and i'm gonna put it in place and just drive that straight through there hopefully i can uh
reach in under without taking the air filter off but you'll usually find that this machine screw
will actually drive in there um nice and tight and you might feel that you don't need to put the um
nut on underneath but i always would purely because if you don't
this has got nothing holding it and it could rattle loose over time
and you know that might happen for a few thousand miles before you notice that your
catch tanks come loose and they'll be rattling around in your engine bay and
damaging the powder coat in the paint so i've got that nut on the bottom
now i've got that on there and put my ratchet spanner on
actually spawning the right way around
i'm just going to tighten that down
and i'll start to feel that come tight just make sure it's pointing in the right
direction and it's nice and tight up to the inner wing because it is quite a big tank
we want to make sure it's nice and tight up there and it is so just nip that nut off underneath
it's not going anywhere solid next thing you need is the hose and the clips in the kit so
the hose is almost always supplied over length and the idea behind that is that you can trim it to
the perfect length um not that there should ever really be any variation but it's just far easier
for us to supply a hose which is over length than try and make sure everyone is cut to bang
on the right length because if the hose is five millimeters too short you can never get them to
sit straight so we always supply them over length so the first thing i'll do is line it up so i'm
lining it up with the in with the intake of the cam cover and then lining it up with the catch
tank i'll just hold my finger on where it wants to be cut cut that there and then i'll line it up
again with the cam cover put my finger on where it wants to be cut and then just cut that off
and then that will go on there perfectly
it's worth mentioning at this point that some people don't like the logo on the hoses and
if they do obviously you can just turn the hose upside down but make sure you've got it
upside down when you mark it because the leg lengths will be different so if i was to turn
this upside down now it's actually too long this way and not long enough that way so it's
always best to make sure that you've got the uh the logo facing up if you want it facing up
and then when it comes to the clamps i'll always try and hide the clamps if i can hide the worm
drive section so on this one it's easy i can just put the worm drive section underneath
and on this one it'll sit to the side where it's got a little bit of space between the next port
sticking up the cam cover so i'll just push that on there it will be a tight fit it wants to be
i'll push that on there
and that's just a case of tightening these up you don't need to go crazy with how tight these are
you know it's uh obviously they are trying to seal oil but it it really doesn't matter that they're
kind of over tight and squashing the silicon down it's not going to seal them any better
so you're just looking to make sure the hose isn't going to slide off
so the last thing we've got to do is to fit the breather filter on so again that just
pushes on the front you can push it on all the way and i'm just going to tighten it up
underneath there we go that's it done so as you can see super simple to install
you know all the bits in the kit you need are there it'll work with our big turbo intakes
as well as with a direct route kit um it's a really big tank so you shouldn't really need
to be emptying it very often um you know should be service intervals as long as your engine's healthy
anything else you need to know stick them in the comments thanks for watching
