Keep it up man really cool results, whole car not just the engine
catch can doesn't have to be restrictive in any way, it's just a can with a rag stuffed in it to condense vapours, and the vacuum pump exhaust flow is insignificant compared to normal blowby at 5k rpm and 40 psiMy opinion is to not restrict the crank case vent in any way, I don't know how restrictive catch cans are, so I don't use one.
So why not just plumb it into the exhaust and avoid getting oil mist in your intake system?catch can doesn't have to be restrictive in any way, it's just a can with a rag stuffed in it to condense vapours, and the vacuum pump exhaust flow is insignificant compared to normal blowby at 5k rpm and 40 psi
it is extra weight that a drag car doesn't really need
I'd imagine it's dumped in the intake so it doesn't drip on the track, which'll get you kicked out.
Sorry Steve, only just seen this, If you want to discuss this further I'm sure we could build an engine for you and offer some support! a Common rail engine would be the way to go.Amazing work there! If you ever decide that you want to run at the Bonneville Salt Flats for a land speed record, please hit me up. I have a record-holding diesel truck entry (completely SCTA compliant with log bood) that's already set up for VW power.

Yeah that was a good day, other than 4th gear becoming smooth after a few runs! The video has some funny comments but over 250,000 views so I'm not worried.Just seen the autocar video - great stuff!!!

Yea YouTube comments are one of them oddities tbh, mate of mine has a Daihatsu Cuore Avanzato TR-XX R4 (mouthfull) and he's got a video of a nasty nasty oil change (was left standing for near on a decade) and the comments roll in daily saying all sorts.Yeah that was a good day, other than 4th gear becoming smooth after a few runs!

It needs to be immense so there's enough room for the LOGO!Yea YouTube comments are one of them oddities tbh, mate of mine has a Daihatsu Cuore Avanzato TR-XX R4 (mouthfull) and he's got a video of a nasty nasty oil change (was left standing for near on a decade) and the comments roll in daily saying all sorts.
What's funny is in the YouTube world all engagement is positive for promoting a video so likes/dislikes typically don't matter unless you do a Ghostbusters and all the comments regardless bump the video.
Front end looks like it's got some immense cooling on it!
So the big question....what's next?
