When will you get it back Scottie?

Sometime tomorrow mate. Few things got on top of him today and at like 7pm his welder ran out of gas. So best to put it till tomorrow. Another 2-3hours of custom fab work and it will be all good to go.

Joys of a full customer exhaust i guess

Long story short dint have enough time to get it completed. Least they were good enough to lend me a car for the night

Skid vids! :P

Just got the call from the exhaust shop I've been waiting all day for. Exhaust is all good to go, Plan A was them drop the car to me, however do to the "modification list" on my car the workshop weren't comfortable driving it on the road incase they get pulled over by the boys in blue... I will head down after work to pick it up.

Here is a few pictures in the mean time

Because who needs a cat ;)

Well I am more of a dog person.

Car is a lot deeper than the old system and at WOT on gate is not as full on loud but still got a lot of noise. Not as raspy if that makes any sense to people.

Due to it being pretty late and dark when i got home i avoided making a sound recording. I might take it for a spin tomorrow after work and see how it sounds on record

come to scouting run with me :)
Now that could be tempting as I can't actually make the normal cruise. Where does it start?
Well I'm guessing where it is suppose to start at the Yatala BP servo. Best to check with Mike first.

I will meet him at Mt Tamborine in the town centre

    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
    • I just used a can that's easy to empty after every session and pour it back into the fill hole. Takes about 40 seconds when you have 40 minutes between runs :p I don't see how changing any catch can stuff will reduce pressure if the system is sealed. And if it's vented - Does it matter where it's vented with regards to overall pressure?
    • Welp, too late already committed to the cam cover breathers to be welded on. I did think about adding a catch can in line with the drivers side sump breather as a phase 2 along with a drain to the sump on the original catch can but with an inline ball valve so I can have it closed if needed.    Likely a single breather would have been enough but I think I’m overcompensating to hopefully not have to empty my catch can and clean up oil over flow every session.    out of curiosity has anyone actually measured crank case pressure before and after various mods? I’m considering adding a sensor for science 
    • Is it a dog or synchro box? I guess either way, if it is new and crunching in one gear only, it has to come out and go back to the shop to check/measure as there is either an assembly or manufacturing issue
