FD3S RX-7 Engine Mounted Oil Catch Tank GB

[thewird]

I'd be interested in this as it seems to hide in the engine but I 'd like it to work like my current catch can where it drains back into the oil pan via the front cover. I have 2 vents, one from the rear turbo drain and a tap into the oil filler neck. Also, your only using one small vent, do you find thats enough? Have you taken the car to a road coarse to test it?

After doing the last GB, due to the complexity and time involved welding each tank the starting price will be $250, with five people on the list it will drop to $240, ten people I will drop to $230.

Premix tank option will be $300.

I can also make a custom tank that can be placed in a different location, pricing will be dependent on complexity.

The catch tank does block the crank angle sensor, sorry, maximizing the volume within the available space calls for it.

I can add a return line, but I have a question, how do you account for the condensation build up that's being drained back into the oil pan? Granted it's a small amount, but not ideal.

My setup has two vents as well, one from the rear turbo drain and one from the filler neck. The vents are 3/8" now.

I have extensively tested mine, well as three of my customers. All work very well, note they consistently had to drain their tanks after two/three high G track days.

I'd assume condensation would be evaporated when the engine is run? When my oil temps are up to temp, I can see (thanks to my RE vented hood) the breather filter venting gas even just cruising down the highway. I can't imagine whatever is left in the oil would be any worse then 90% of the cars out there that have fuel dilution in their oil due to changing their oil on normal intervals.

On a side note, my friend Zhe should be contacting you about a can setup soon as this is very nice.
