Sub For Lighter Fluid

- Oil Catch Tank or Oil Canister

This is a system used in turbo engines or aged to filter the oil suspended in the crankcase gases before returning to the motor. The scheme works as follows:


part of the improvements I am making in my SUV LJ80, I sensed that the engine presents the problem of oil suspended in the hose leading from the crankcase vapors to the intake, which is understandable given his 27 years, but the trouble is that this oil mess everything inside, including the air filter.
had to think about how to fix it.

In most engines will return from the valve cover to the admission. The idea is that the fumes from burning oil in the cylinders reducing contamination.
If there is output, the pressure would end up spitting out the oil dipstick.
is supposed to be only oil mist, but if the engine has high mileage, poor compression or the slightest problem with rings, laden vapors out of oil particles in suspension. And this oil sticks and accumulates at the inlet, inlet temperature increases, generate pollution, affect sensors and intercooled engine, the leaves very dirty inside. In addition, power to the vehicle and remain that hinder the optimal mix within the chamber.
A widely used alternative is to disconnect the hose leaving open the vent to the atmosphere, that, apart from illegal, only makes the oil in suspension ends wetting and soiling everything under the hood.

OPTIMAL SOLUTION "?: Separate oil fumes.
exist in the market "Oil Catch Tank (Can collect oil), very nice look, but usually very expensive ($ 40 or more) and consists of a jar placed in the return pipe. This jar has a filter that accumulates in the oil that is suspended by condensation. Every so often you have to drain it for cleaning.


HAVE ANY OTHER GOOD SOLUTION?: Of course, do yourself a canister!
So that motivates me and design a home made Oil Catch with a moisture separator for compressor.
I started then to a fair bargain cachureos and after I got for less than $ 10, a perfect compressor filter, a piece of hose and connectors.
then prepared a proper assembly, in this case was with the fuel pump.
Here is an image with the required materials:

12V EXTERNAL AUXILIARY PLUG

Calgary Average Electricity Cost

- External 12v Auxiliary Outlet



Have you noticed that is common routes stopping at night to settle a panne, or simply connect compressor illuminate with the laptop and then when the damn cable of these devices is always short or tangled ends on either side?
That's when you wish you had an external auxiliary jack 12 volts. lighter type placed in the rear of the vehicle.
then decided to make an auxiliary jack recycling an old trailer electrical plug, and therefore useless oxidized contacts.

first disarmed him and applied cleaning. Soon the aluminum body was bright as in their heyday.



The inner body is made of plastic so the dremel and cut a lot of patience and Agrippa oxidized contacts practicing then a hole in the middle.

After a while I could mount a cigarette lighter plug. The latter also cut some of the outer can to adapt to his new position.


And looked ahead after completion of the details.


From the back was flawless and very well set.


This is the final appearance, ready to be installed anywhere in the jeep and it is best that is very well protected and safe from spills.


Anyway, and to ensure 100% security, I recommend wire power line direct from the battery, plus a switch, relay and fuse to mount.

- LJ80-V Restoration Project

Suzuki LJ80 model was a dream deferred several times, until I found a very good year 1981 for sale and through the efforts of some friends finally came to my hands in the month of April 2008.
was immediately named as the TRAC-TOR of the Hermit and so is seen when you take:

Here you'll be telling the restore process that I am submitting.



CLEANING: Once at home, was soaping inside and outside with a hose and then washed thoroughly, even inside, until it was absolutely clean. Washed chassi and engine oil is saturated.

PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS: The body is no noticeable dents or crashes. The painting in relatively good condition, there is only superficial rust at the edges of the cans. There is one point about 10 cm. where there can be replaced .. Has all its glass and accessories.
The chassis is very good but minimal scratches.
The engine loses oil pump and valve cover. In
drive system is impeccable. Inside the seats
require replacement.
The board is complete, everything works under the speedometer.

BRAKES: Regulates drum brakes because braking almost anything ..

COOLING: The copper radiator had large leaks, removed and sent soldiers.

TIRES AND WHEELS: The yip already received its first upgrade: wheels 7 "chrome which replaced the original white 5.5". For now the tires are 31x10.5 "MT. Fit right and moves very well with this measure. It replaced a broken bolt in a mass.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: This task consumed two evenings, and consisted of taking alarm, central locking, the 5 additional speakers, cables audio system, dual antenna cables and many other outcasts. It restores the original speaker.
The electrical circuit was clean, tidy and original, while eliminating, a continuous battery drain.

SUSPENSION AND ADDRESS: The jeep comes with 2 locks elongated. " This affects the caster and the direction is unstable. Are evaluating solutions to strengthen candaos (twins) and improve the caster.
The steering box has a lot of game, but was adjusted replacement is required. There will be a future amendment to install a samurai steering box

Circut ELECTRIC ACCESSORIES: We also are preparing the fuse box and relays to command emergency lights, for which amount all in an aluminum plate and defined his position:


BUMPER: The original bumper is straight and the nose is sharp yip, it creates a jarring visual effect, so it was cut and welded the bumper to give a slight sharpening, leaving very harmonica now. Then repainted dull black bumpers and installed two auxiliary lights Hella Comet 500 long range, leaving with a sober front of LJ80.


BATTERY: Because I had problems starting battery is replaced by a 60-35AH AH Japanese, for which I had to modify slightly the assembly area, which was easy because one ear that says the battery is bolted. The original
lead terminals are the cause of many failures suffered internal sulfation, which was up so they were replaced by a bronze in the same measure.



PAINT: One of the most thankless tasks is to sand the parts with rust, it's amazing how, despite the good condition of the cans, as there ... and must be removed if or if. So with patience
gold and with the support of dremel work starts peeling only the affected areas, then cleaned, degreased and apply a heavy hand first, thus leaving the cans are safe from worms


INTERIOR: The car will get new seats on boxes made of plywood. The idea is to spread the floor as far forward as possible so that two compartments are "secrets" under the seats, tools and accessories for 4x4.
side panels reupholstered doors. Be built for the rear side panels that will include boxes for 6x9 speakers. "
The floor will be fully carpeted.


PETROL PUMP: The LJ80 came with a low-flow electric pump, which replaces the original.
Since the original pump was still installed in the vehicle (but off) take it apart to see that he had been disabled.
There I discovered that the membrane was beheaded No. 5 (the membrane and the metal you see in the picture, go together). And as a little spare, was installed electric pump, which supplies gasoline on demand.
occurred to me then left in place the original Pump, but I removed the parts N ° 5, 6 and 7 and sealed the hole in the membrane, thus being a simple engine isolation chamber, with input, output and a return. Apart
preserve the original look, this amendment will serve me if I ever install a high flow pump, which requires the return.




FILTER AIR: The air filter is easy to get but not the weird glue that bonds the filter body with carburetor.
Given the poor condition of the rubber no choice but to get cookie from the jar base and then weld a 2 "pipe. In the picture you can see the details of the modification.
This allows you to buy a simple flexible hose (bellows monza address) to attach the filter to the carburetor and improve sealing. In the picture you can see the body installed and painted white with rust converter.



then we ...
