Oil Catch Tank


Saaber

Hi Eddie, I doubt your efficient engine would spit out much excess oil right? I contemplated on a catch-can for my brick before but chose not since I doubt much oil will be spat out [:p]

Hey thanks for the pics! [thumbsup]

So how did you attach the can to your engine compartment?

And one hose goes to the tank from the engine, where does the other hose from the tank lead to?

It does...I fond traces of oil in my intercooler and the throttle body and blowing white smoke on WOT.... Moreover, mine can do overboost to 1.5bar for 20sec..

 

In fact, Saab originally has an oil catch tank unit but it is too small so I installed the aftermarket one....

My brick did have oil blown by into the intercooler and throttle body but not so drastic. Furthermore there's a small leakoff valve below the intercooler to release excess oil droplets [;)]

 

Overboost to 1.5bar? That's wicked! [sly]

Better not to have oil into the intercooler as it will affect the efficiency....

 

1.5 bar .... Shiok! thumbsup.gifthumbsup.gifthumbsup.gif

Surprisingly turbobricks since the 850 have pretty large intercoolers except they are sandwiched between the radiator and condenser coil, that kinda reduces the intercooler efficiency [thumbsdown]

I keep the smaller ones to inject ink into ink cartrides and extract balance from expired one....

Bigger ones are for the ink packs for my Large Format Printer.
