It says your in Cali.
What are you doing for emissions?

And what is this in your pics? Part of the PCV system or Charcoal?


BTW nice Parallel fuel setup. What did that end up costing?

It is a Honda N600. That was my 1st that inspired me to find my very nice original one. Maybe someday it will be set-up w/ a sport bike engine for Auto-X (they weigh 1,300lb stock).

No emmisions where I live.

And what is this in your pics? Part of the PCV system or Charcoal?

Oil/air seperator to keep the oil pan under vacuum to aid turbo drain- stops turbo from smoking when oil pressure is high and turbo shaft speed is low.

No idea. It is easier to spend money on your car when you don't keep track of it

Question. Did you block off the oil line on the block and just run a vacuum line and the line off of the filler neck on that little catchcan? Just asking, I mounted my catchcan next to my overflow and routed the line from the filler neck through the stock metal line that goes back into the intake. I don't know how well it works yet, my car won't be fired up until probably next Saturday..

Yep, that one line off the oil filler is it. It is not so much a catch can as a seperator. It is packed w/ varying densities of bronze wool and a cotton gauze filter at the top. Gets vacuum on top w/ checkvalve and the bottom connects to nearly the highest point of the oil system (3rd gen guys have been known to tap the very oil fill cap itself). It works fairly well, though I hope to design one that will work more like a catch can w/ a seperator section at the top.

Sweet! Let me know when you arrive in Oregon again so I can pick it up.

where do you live if you have no emmisions or how do you get away with that

Emerald Triangle, baby! We just get smogged when we initially register the vehicle.

were did you buy those fuel rails?

Primary is a modded S4 rail and 2ndary is the K2RD 1600cc inj rail.

Where did you tap vacuum? I was going to tap a hole in my TID for a brass NPT -> 1/8th Hose barb, and just run a vacuum line to the top vacuum line on the filler neck. I guess using a seperator would keep it a little cleaner, did you make the seperator, or purchase it?
