How Much Oil In Catch Can?

[PJF]

Hello there,

I've finished building my R34 GT-t for Targa this year and would like to know roughly how much oil to expect in the oil catch can during the five days. The engine is internally standard with a slight boost increase and good compression across cylinders.

Thanks, Carey.

Firstly, I hope you have a ball Carey!

Every car is different of course, but I would suggest running the same as my Targa car and setting it up to have the PCV valve empty the catch can on a trailing throttle. Basically the PCV sucks from the bottom of the catch can via the cam cover outlets, emptying it for you.

Having to empty a traditional can setup at every opportunity (as we were forced to go when running the blue gtr) really has hairs on it.

If your engine is very healthy it should have close to none in the catch can.

we have a twin catch tank setup on the gtr for Targa, but it's never got full enough to matter.

But i know of similar cars with new engines that will fill the catch tanks in 5 mins. Alot of it is just luck of the draw. Easiest way is to test it on a track, you'll know within 5-10 laps if the catch can is going to fill up quickly.

looks like i'll be crewing for dad this year (car 895), so come and say hi

That sounds pretty damn good!

Do you have any pics of this setup please?
