I've got all the parts now to finish the catch can. Looking to do that this weekend maybe.

Then I've got to go redo the tune now that the injectors are doing their thing. I have a lot of the double pumper parts as well, but I don't want to have the car down while I pull the fuel pump assembly and modify it. I might just throw in some E85 and scale the injectors for it and play around a little without trying to tune in massive power. Then I can do the double pumper later in the year, maybe in the fall after track days simmer down.

I'm trying to have the car be ready for track days without me having to do tons of works (major upgrades). Just jump in and go, because I'm tired of working on it. This is what I'm looking to finish real soon and run most of the summer. Thinking about a track day on April 23rd...

- Complete bigger catch can.
- Finish plumbing Accusump.
- Finish the pump gas tune.
- New rotors and pads.

Then later in the year:

- GT wing
- Rear diffuser
- Double pumper and E85 high-power tunage.

Well I stopped at the E85 station on my way to work and grabbed 5 gallons in a gas can. I'm going to do a little testing just to get familiar with the stuff.

I've got the new catch can finished. Now I just need to drill and tap the valve cover for the 1/2 NPT hose fittings.

New high flow catch can in place.



Drilling massive holes for 1/2 NPT fittings



Working around the hole where the stock fitting was. You have to start a new hole below it and then work up. This is after a 1/2 drill, next is the final 23/32 drill.



Tapping.



Voila

^^^^ Just trying to get as much airflow out of the valve cover as possible; trying to keep the crankcase pressure from getting so high.

You can make a good amount of power with one modded 255 and e85. Just keep that in mind when you are playing with it.

My playing may included a full tune at 25 psi if I can get it by working the 1450's. I'll save the 30 psi action for after the twin pump action is in place.

Valve cover is back on. I'll be out of gas when I get home tonight and ready to dump in some E85.
