K24 Racing - Catch Tank Kits

[Rusty]

Right, having done this conversion myself I'm aware that it's a bit confusing gathering all the information off the forum, getting the parts and then doing the job... With this in mind I'm going to develop catch tank kits to add to my new K24 Racing product range. I'm going to look at the following:-

ABY/ADU RHD custom made catch tank

This is a bespoke tank made to my design that is neat and simple to install. This utilises some of the original breather system and thus requires minimal alterations and low space intrusion in the engine bay. The basic kit will not include an N80 solution and will either contain a filter for vent to atmosphere or a link pipe to enable the customer to finish the install themselves. I will then offer a range of accessories for this basic tank kit, these will include:-

• Bespoke return pipe work - a neat solution to the problem, will be bolt-on.
• N80 pipework options - to retain the OE Fuel Tank Breather.
• Fuel tank breather options - to remove the OE FTB when deleting the N80.

I would be happy to work with the owner of a LHD ABY/AAN vehicle to develop a bespoke kit for these vehicles, please contact me if you are interested. I would also be happy to discuss any specific requirements that any customers might have regarding this kit.

3B RHD custom catch tank

I am working with a 3B owner to develop a 3B setup that fits neatly in the 3B engine bay with no need for additional brackets etc. The kit will also deal with the weaknesses of the 3B breather system and I hope to be able to offer the option of bespoke return pipework and N80 options also.

I am currently undecided on what to do about hose options, ideally I would use flourolined tubing but this is both expensive and available in many different colours so I can't stock all of them. I think at this time it'll be any colour you like as long as it's black (and maybe blue)

Please let me know if you are interested in a kit and if you have any comments. I will continue to work on integrating the design and getting a price together for the parts

Whats an N80?

Just after clarification - are you saying you're not offering the actual catch tank?

I guess pictures would be good

[Rusty]

Yes, tank and all plumbing kit will be available, I'll edit the the thread if it's unclear...

N80 is the carbon canister solenoid, it attatches to the underside of the IM and lets the fuel vapours into the inlet under vacuum. It's one of the headaches when doing the conversion as it requires several modifications to get rid of it, I'm looking at ways of keeping it too.

Here's some pictures of the prototype on my car, I have learnt a few lessons from this so will be making a few alterations:-

and will you can make a kit for 3B LHD??

thanks and good luck mate

[Rusty]

I can if I can get measurements for one. Got quite a few projects on the go now but this will fit well. If you can take a clear picture of your engine bay, the inlet side then I'll get a idea of the differences, LHD ABY etc have the clutch and brake master cylinders where I will fit the tank, 3B won't have this issue. Hopefully minimal modifications will be required LHD to RHD, just be pipework if I'm lucky

Every time i see an ABY engine bay i get jellos! There's so much room!
Good luck with this, Flourolineing is a complete waste of money on oil breather hoses. Just stick to simple unlined silicone, You could always add another layer if its a concern. Maybe after you have made the designs someone like Roose can fabricate the kits for you but I would strongly suggest to stick to OEM colours as otherwise you will find yourself with stock you cant sell..

LHD 3B - I am more than happy to provide measurements.... if you let me know exactly what you need measured, also I can take pictures as required...

Cheers Bo, I was thinking along the same line TBH.

Chris, I need a pic of the area under and in front of the strut brace between the inlet manifold and the ANS box. One looking in normally and one looking down, like the pics at the top of the thread. Cheers
