You should replace the catch can with an oil air seperator and have it return back to the air intake/manifold so it's fully legal...it's like a 10k fine for having a breather that vents to atmosphere and isn't subtle at all haha

@MotoringBox Remove the breather and get an adapter so the air comes through the filter inside the catch can up through the top through some tube back into the EGR port on the intake Or you could just an oil air seperator 😅 only found this out because I tried to do the same thing after being told it was illegal and ended up returning the catch can and buying a mishimoto seperator for my car

I’m really loving seeing this BA come along! I never really paid much attention to them but you’ve changed my mind. We had a silver BF MkII XR6 as a rental many years ago and I really loved it as a kid. My neighbour has a mint condition early 2005 BF Futura wagon in Blue Pearl, which seems to be pretty rare as it’s actually a BA colour. It’s great how there’s so much stuff that is interchangeable with Fords. Like E series looms being the same between wagons and sedans etc, everything is pre run!

I installed the lower snorkel two weeks ago. I’d read the posts about the difficulty of reinstalling the bolt sits under the snorkel. After cutting the hole and ensuring it fitted nice and snug I then put the snorkel in hot water. Once it was hot and pliable I placed it under the headlight. Then fitted the air box back including ‘that’ bolt. You can (just) fit an extension down between the air box and the snorkel. As the snorkel was still nice pliable I then simply inserted it into the air box. Worked a treat and all three bolts are in place and looks OME.

Back in my day, we would fit the air box first with the three bolts then fit the lower ducting afterwards. Was a bit of a squish but I imagine they must have done it at the factory. There was an interesting test years ago where someone removed the inner ribs of the bottom of the air box to reduce turbulence and promote smooth airflow. Another zero dollar mod that you can’t see but made a difference, albeit small. I’ve noticed you’re running red coolant- as it’s a cast iron block (unlike say an LS or Alloytec GM engine) it should preferably run the green stuff.

If you get a 3" (from memory) 45 deg. Intercooler pipe, hose-clamp to fit around it and a universal pod-filter, you can install a pod inside the factory airbox! Put the pod on one end of the bent pipe, tighten it down, insert the other end inside the intake flexi-pipe that runs from the top half of the airbox, then use the extra hose-clamp on the outside of the intake flexi-pipe.

Nice vid, I love how easy BA's are to tinker with, I modded one of the typhoon snorkels into my stock air box for my NA BA, and changed the stock plenum for a Territory one (bit thicker and less obstructive for airflow), and also installed an SS Inductions big mouth intake and modded it to fit the stock airbox, and put a K&N panel filter in, and it improved the noise a fair amount, and the response of the car ever so slightly. I've got an FG Intake Manifold, with fuel rail, but I need to get some injector adapters to keep my BA injectors, and either get or make an adapter plate to fit the BA throttle body onto the FG manifold (So the ECU doesn't throw a shit fit)...that is going to be my next mod, and then I am done with the CAI system, and its about as good as it can be without going with ITB's. Then it'll be Pacemaker headers and DEA mild-steel exhaust system, and 20% weight reduced underdrive pulleys, and a tune on 98..hoping for somewhere between 200-220rwkw.

I don't think the stock air box on the FG ever had an under headlight intake, I could be wrong though. But there are some nicely designed aftermarket intakes for the FG, like the "Streetfighter" or VCM air boxes. The catch can also installs slightly differently on the FG, I believe the line which plumbs back into the intake connects down near the battery.

As an engine reconditioner i can tell you the so called performance air filter will hurt. Iit will allow dirt and dust to enter the engine and increase ring and bore wear which will increase blowby and eventually stuff the engine. Most people will disagree with me but the proof is in the pudding and i have bored thousands of cyls over the years and seen the wear caused by washable filters. Falcon owners are lucky in the fact the falcon cyl block is much more durable than a lot of other engines in the fact they are capable of doing much higher ks before the bore wear out hence the reason they made good taxis. Ps dont be fooled by information put out by the manufacturers of these type of filters they just want to sell it. If you don't want your engine to last for years then its fine to run a washable filter so you can tell all your mates you run a high performance filter. Wank factor we call it in the trade.

not bad.man, be careful because its a slippery slope of wanting more and more hahaa. The catch can setup isnt quite plumbed correct for that particular style of can, but nothing bad is going to happen, dont be concerned. hmu if you want to know the correct way and all the ins and outs about catch cans 😁

@@MotoringBoxTVconsidering the catch can you bought is an atmosphere venting style can. ideally you should have your main rocker breather plumbed into it (like you currently have), and your PCV valve at the rear of the rocker cover should be deleted and then also ran into the catch can. from there the blowby simply vents to atmosphere through filter on top of the can. The nipple on the turbo intake would then be capped off.

@@MotoringBoxTV that would work fine in your current setup, assuming the internal baffle setup is correct, but it defeats the purpose somewhat, as under idle/light cruise/off boost, the pcv gets "sucked" open and the engine draws blowby and oil directly into the intake manifold. only under boost or whatever pressure differential the pcv valve spring can overcome, does the pcv shut and only then will the blowby vent into your catch can.

Hey nice video as always. Just curious, how do you drain the caught oil in that catch can when it fills up? I don't see a drain plug or a screw off bottom...
@MotoringBoxTV
@MotoringBoxTV 3 жыл бұрын
A lot of the cans for sale didn't seem to have one. So you'd have to un-bolt the can from the car, loosen the two hose clamps and pull the thing out. Tipping it sideways should allow any oil to drain out of the two connectors. Perhaps a bit of a hassle, but I imagine it'll be something you'd only need to check every 6 months or so.

Wondering if the better intake and filter will have an effect on the engine tune, everything is connected as they say. Think l would have left it stock, it's a classic car, oh and forget that catch can too lm not sure but it is probably illegal and may give the cops something to fine you for?
