I did notice that the rpm did not drop hardly at all between shifts keeping us in boost much easier which was probably the difference we were feeling.

First picture is the entire engine bay of my car, just cause it looks so damn good You can see the catch can and plumbing over near the passenger side strut tower.



This is a close up of the can mounted and plumbed.



I am driving the car and going to put some miles on it. I want to make sure there is no oil being pushed out of the can before this goes to market. Right now I have hooked up another bottle to the vent side of the can to see if I get any residue. If I do then it will be back to the drawing board. If it ends up dry then I will be ready to go ahead with production.

It sure looks good.

Thank you for the continued interest.

Took the long way home tonight with the car. It's a freaking beast. Honestly it has no business on the street. The acceleration is simply unbelievable.

I ran the car through 3-4th a few times, then 1-4 a few more times, then a 1-3 and last I turned the last corner coming towards my house and ran it through 1st, hit second, turned the car broadside in the road, lifted and decided that was enough for one day.

The first thing I did when I got home was opened the hood and checked the clear bottle I installed. 100%, absolutely, bone dry. This was a very good site. I drove about 10 miles on the way home, needless to say fairly hard.

Boost logs showed 36 psi peak.

Happy with the results. I am going to run the car more before making an absolute decision on production. After today, it's looking good.

It looks great David.

I have been waiting a long time for one of the vendors to make a EVO specific bolt on catch can that actually works.

I hope it passes your testing so I can purchase one.

Keep up the good work.

The pump gas isn't in it. Same gas from the last time we ran it at the track VP Q16.

Thanks for the compliments on the engine, I'm pretty proud of it.

SWEET! As usual David.

I hear you on the "these cars shouldn't be on the road" comment. I drove home from the track Sunday night on Q16 and did a quick 3-4 with my brother in the car because he's never ridden in the car on race gas. Needless to say he was VERY impressed!! I about crapped myself!! The car was wondering all over the road!

He asked how fast we were going. I said about 130. Where did we start? About 50. ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?!

haha, it's no joke driving these on the street, that's for sure. When I shifted to 2nd on my road tonight and the car went sideways in the road I decided that was enough. You know how the road has some tar on it, it was like hitting water.

Your car looks great. Eric came in today and bought a piece of carbon fiber from us

I wasn't courageous enough to do a rolling start 1-2-3-4. To many cops in my area.

Thanks for all the "look good" parts.

Oh that lieing sneaky bastard!! He said he talked to you today and I asked if he went up to the shop. He said no and he talked to you on the phone!! Good job giving it away as I'm going to see him/his car tomorrow.

I also found out Saturday night the Trampio's don't like rain.
