Yup!
Been talking with Ben and Ronnie for a while now.
They have a solution sorted (like Dallas said). It's kinda cheating, but it works!

This video was what made me think the (not-mist) oil is spun up from the valvetrain

I hope your catch can is not made of a softer metal

10AN on the back of the can for draining and pumping (if required).
Note the 12AN line off the front of the block.

Testing tomorrow!




Mike do you sell these catch cans?

No sir.
It was a custom setup for proof of concept.
I had another customer do a breather off the block and they went from 700ml in the catch can after 5 laps to 100ml after 5 laps.
Breathing off the block (FRONT OR BLOCK!) is the way to go!

Now you have tested that, are you still manually draining between sessions or draining back to sump? If draining back to sump, does your sump come with this option?

I was just thinking of using the oil temp bung on the IEpan for drain back. mine currently drains back to the dipstick, which is too high IMO

I've got a drain at the bottom of my catch can, it's passive and will drain between sessions

It depends on the dry sump system.
Norris Designs says to vent their system, because it doesn't generate proper vacuum in the block. So on the front of the block is probably a good idea.
A Dailey System you could probably run a breather off the head, but it's got a valve in it. So it only opens when there is too much vacuum.

i think its not advisable to drain back to engine if youre using a breather filter that close to the catchcan no? i see mostly water in my open catch can
