Any one using an oil catch can/tank?

[claylake]

I am looking for a better way to plumb the S38 crankcase breather. I thought maybe a aluminum catch tank to match the Cartech rising rate fpr and Tial wastegate or is it a waste of time? No it does not smoke or use oil.

Clay, do you have any oil in your intake/intercooler plumbing? If you do then a catch can can help. I made one for the twin turbo and will mount one on the new car that drains back to the sump.

I am concerned oil could be coating the inside of the IC reducing efficiency. Would a catch can minimize that?

John, I saw one of your TCD E28's at Road Atlanta today. It was parked hood up without plug wires. I hope he is OK that is an awesome track to air out that turbo.

Was it Delphin? Hope it wasn't Skeen!

That was Skeen. He is running coil packs so maybe the missing distributor is OK.

Hood up to cool down for sure.

Yeah, plug wires were there, just not on the cap.

Update coming later today.

Street cars "usally" don't have PVC issues with oil blowby/through into the intake system. Race cars have a bigger issue with it.

Peter Florence has terrible problems with blow by so he is going to use some aircraft oil/air seperator that drains back to the sump.

It's worse with R tires, so there must be some g-force effect going on as well. Much worse than anything we saw at Tire Rack this year. Serious, giant cloud of smoke.

Twice at auto-x's they thought I blew the motor. By the time I got back to grid, it had stopped smoking and was happy as a clam.

I have an aircraft oil-air separator to install as soon as time permits.

And to make Shawn happy, it's Floranace, not Florence.
