My i20N

The crank case outlet on the cam cover has 17,8mm diameter.

The inlet of the short OEM piping which has an other hose connected that goes on the fitting on the alloy turbo inlet has 15mm diameter.

So on the catch can inlet I use the 19mm fitting and the 16mm fitting on the outlet of the can.

It is also possible to take direct the inlet fitting on the turbo inlet. But I haven't measured it!

Okay, I’ve taken the plunge and ordered some bits from that supplier of all things aftermarket - Aliexpress. But before we go through the bits I’ve gone for let me explain my thought process. The primary problem I see is separating the oil from the air. Some rely on a metallic gauze and some rely on just a perforated metal baffle. Basic designs just have an input and output tube. The horizontal baffle you see on some designs is primarily to stop (or discourage anyway) any collected oil from slopping about under braking, cornering or acceleration. So, I’ve chosen a design which causes the air to pass through a spiral and this should significantly increase surface area and encourage oil separation. It also has a vertical and horizontal baffle and a dipstick. Also, it comes with a bracket which I’m hoping I can modify - some bending and cutting - to make it work with my suggested position. The pipe I’ve ordered is reinforced by an internal wire braid to reduce the chance of collapse. Oh, I’ve also ordered a stainless steel 19mm to 16mm reducer. This is a very expensive catch can by AliExpress standards so I’ve currently spent a massive £140.00 - I will need to order some clips too.

Oh, I might also have to buy some heat shielding for where the pipes pass close to the turbo.

I do like the Speed Engineering solution but it will be expensive by the time I’ve paid import duties in the U.K. - probably £400.00 when all is done. Also, I have a question mark over the 3D printed parts. An engine bay is not a friendly environment but they will probably be fine - it’s really the cost that’s the issue for me - oh, and the method of filtering.

That’s more what you want for daily riding where you are anyway 👍. I’ve ridden less fancy versions in Thailand - last time I broke my clavicle, snapped it clean in two.

Aw mate be careful!
I have seen the statistics for motorbike accidents in Thailand and I have seen enough craziness on the roads with my own eyes.
We rented mopeds for 3 days on an island with no cars (Koh Phayam) and I was still terrified.

Good to hear.
It really freaks me out over there the way they drive.
Any moped turning left onto a main road does not look right, they just join the road and hope for the best.
I cannot understand why they do not even have a quick glance just incase something is coming which will kill them!
Thai people are definitely wired differently to us.

The quick glance that you referred to is actually called the “lifesaver”been doing it since passing my test back in the 80s.
It’s called that for a reason 👍

I’ve been rethinking my tyre options and I think I’m going to get Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S. Not a cheap option but tried and tested. Any thoughts?

I’ve run the pss “super sport” previously the predecessor to the 4s and it’s a great tyre a little twitchy when cold but a very good track focused tyre.
The 4s is supposed to be 15/20% better than the pss so would be very good,depending on price I’d still go with the sc7 at £100 a corner still is my number 1 choice.
I’m also fairly sure the 4s originally wasn’t available in 18s only 19s upward obviously that has now changed.

I dont want to be that guy, but tyrereviews.com are still subjective. They arent calculating metrics on friction and such. Its partly butt-feel. Also sounds like its backed by revhead dentists.

Now having said that we have to trust in experience of people who have driven a lot of tires and maybe their butt has a lot of miles on it. Are they always driving the same kind of car and on the same track? This is where preference from person and place can overrule the winner in a test that involves just one reviewers experience.

Honestly, when my tires are due, i'm throwing my chips on goodyear asymm 6. I personally feel like it suits my preferences and my locale. Hey, the following set may be conti sc7.

I'm still reminded of my bridgestone experience where others praised (to the point of arguing) what i considered to be a disappointing tire (i'm not saying all bridgies are like that, just the ones that i tried and got rid of while they still had tread left on them).

"Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 generally offers superior longevity compared to the Continental SportContact 7."
"The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 offers significantly superior rim protection compared to the Continental SportContact 7"
"In aquaplaning tests, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 generally demonstrates superior resistance compared to the Continental SportContact 7 (SC7), particularly in curved scenarios"
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymm6 costs less than conti sc7.

Theres 4 "tests" that lean to my preferences between asymm6 and sc7. Depending on what tests i focus on i can claim asymm6 is superior, despite someone else showing tests that rate the sc7 better overall...
