Last night I drained the bong water from the catch can. There was a good 600mL of water in there and a couple hundred mL of oil slurry. It didn't take long for the farker to fill up hey, only half a dozen tanks of E85 I reckon. I guess I'll have to start sucking it out every couple of weeks or so, so the intake doesn't get filthy.

  • Did some tuning today. Apparently gapping the plugs did the trick cos straight away it ran up 605awkw with no tune changes.   I frigged around with fuel and boost and this and that, and mana

    Got to the dyno today and it went pretty much as I expected. The exhaust showed to be a huge restriction but we all knew that anyway. The first run right off the bat showed 367awkw on 16psi and after

    Here's the graph. I had to run it in 3rd to get a number as I was hitting a speed limiter in 4th and was too tardled to work out how to remove it. I disabled it in the vid block, changed it in the tun

Is yours the kind with a drain tap at the bottom? Might be handy if you have to drain it often! :)

Nah no tap on it, I use one of these to give it the suck :nyam:

How important do you think the suck is? I talked to Brad at atomic and he told me to drill out the holes in rocker cover from 10mm to at least 12mm. I removed the oil splash guards and drilled the holes out to 14mm from memory and re-rivited the splash guards in and had Earl's threaded fittings welded onto top of rocker cover and run 90 degree Earl's bends with hose to catch can that I can empty or just let it run onto road. Mine was just catching a yellow piss like liquid which is just condensation. So I deleted pcv and breather to run them both to can.

It is 100% necessary to empty your catch can. Mine is plumbed into and picked up by the intake pipe, so when it gets full it sucks the sh*t through my intake tract. I wasn't joking when I said I need to remove and clean my intercooler.

 

Letting it go on the road is going to create a slipping hazard for yourself and others. There will be oil in the catch can, even if most of it is water.

Imho the amount that comes out onto the road over the distance you travel is minute, but yea I spose if you drive a similar path each time there might be a slippery line up the road lol. The liquid you see spitting out car exhausts in town must be  a similar substance surely but burnt.

Sounds like something that wouldn't be allowed at a race track xD

Nothing comes out until it's full, then when you floor it, it sends blow by into the can and the can blasts liquid (oil and water) out the open hole. I tried this the other day to see if the catch can was full, now I have an oily stain on my bonnet and windscreen wiper. Even if you look at @Tom Tucker's recent picture, you'll see that if he didn't empty it, it would eventually flow out of the top and leak under his front tire or thereabouts.
