[JGP]

I got the 'calibre' brand from supercheap $69-not installed yet. some of the other guys on here use them and say they do the job

Yep that's what I have, they come in red and blue for *beep*'s , silver for poser's and black for us tuff guys.

lucky I got black ;-)

From some of the posts on here the main culprit for blow-by is the rear pcv circuit? It was mentioned to add another one way valve if using the rear circuit catch can hookup, which valve and where do you get from?

Also, if using a simple fuel filter on the front breather is a cheapy ok or something like this would be better:http://www.mscn.com.au/Scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=149

$4 clear plastic ones from supercheap will do fine

cheers bjc, what about the 1 way valve for the rear circuit?

The rocker covers rear breather has the PCV on it there which is all I use but it means my catch can sees boost which doesn't bother me as its sealed.

You could try Supercheap or Repco etc for a generic PCV.

thanks bjc, I will check it out, but if the catch can sees boost and its nothing major may skip it

Been 18 months/18000k's since the catch can install, drained it today and got 50 ml of oil outta her.

Update, here is a photo with my setup. I decided on the rear pcv circuit as it seems that is the major culprit after reading some threads. I also include the parts used for reference to anyone.
