  • got my AN fittings in for the fuel rails, so tomorrow I'll try to get the fuel system finished up. I'm glad they aren't red like int he picture on Marc's website, they appear to be clear anodized.

      here's a interesting read on PCV.

      http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=1199935

      That was a good read there.

      I went with exhaust slash cuts to avoid sucking in vaporized oil fumes. The oil fumes will lower octane and encourage detonation. Normally not a problem but when pushing to the limits with boost avoiding detonation is important. More so for me since I use hypereutectic pistons and gaped the top ring ever so slightly to avoid ring butting under excessive heat. So my blow-by is slightly elevated out of boost. (for the particular minded, I gaped only the increased expansion from added heat expected....making the ring gap act like stock under boost)

      This is why I like the dual type bernoulli system. The intake can handle lower octane at idle. But when in boost the check valve closes and the exhaust generates a stronger dominant vacuum. Pulling all that garbage out of the intake. Cause blow-by is not anything you want in your intake if you can avoid it. Nothing but octane reducing, hot, oxygen deprived air....yuck!

      The dual system pulls the crap in at idle during emissions inspection as well.

      Best of both worlds, imho.

      • good news, the fuel system is pretty much done!

        study coding, so I can hopefully start making our PCMs a little more useful...

        • mostly complete catch can made almost entirely of scrap:



          I also got the downpipe welded up, and the WG bump integrated. all that's left in the exhaust is the slashcut, Vband on the muffler, and the tailpipe. some of the welds look like crap, the fitup was less then ideal, but it's sealed, and strong, and won't be visable an



          I also got the fuel system pretty much done, just needs to be tied back.

          • The slashcuts work but just make sure they are after your o2 sensor and hope you aren't embarrassed by a little smoke at WOT... lol


            I'll have to go back and see what the results were but last year i hooked a 2 bar MAP sensor up to the crank case to monitor the pressure, IIRC it drew a very slight vacuum at WOT.

              I'm hoping the catch can solves the smoke issue. I have two, and I'm trying to decide whether to use one or both.

              • Some types of dirt/air separators spin up the air and dumps the heavy material out while ejecting clean air, no moving parts and really simple design. I am building one myself. Might do well to seperate the crap out of the gases.

                image1.png
                A: Blow-by IN
                B: Oil to catch can OUT
                De: Clean air OUT

                Smoking exhaust could also be from the lack of crankcase ventilation. My 3100 idles a little smokey if I pull the crank ventilation. Clears it right up once I plug it back in. Something to do with the oil coating the cylinder walls.


                I say use both catch cans and then inspect the amount of oil in both. You'll get a good idea how well the first one works. Then can decide if it is needed or not (the second one).

                • I only have one catch can, I was referring to having two slashcuts.

                  • I just finished some exhaust work on my car, my slash cuts are in the X pipe and i had the system open right after it. There was oil in the pipes for sure, and in the mufflers. lol

                    • well, today wasn't all that productive... my intercooler bracket I had made was in the way of everything, so I cut it in half, and and re-did it, now it's holding on by the A/c compressor bolts, but I need to find longer bolts to hold it. I also put the interior halfway back together again. I'm hoping tomorrow is more productive then today was.

                      • re-worked intercooler mount.



                        hopefully for the last time.

                            (I ask under the guise it may help out Eric's build, being this is his thread)
                            I just didn't leave myself enough room. I have a cut-out right after the downpipe and space before the cut-out is limited.

                              you have no idea... everything on the car has been done at least twice... some things, like the wiring harness, have been done 3 or 4 times...

                              it got to the point today, where I almost said screw it(and many other words...) and made a dual exhaust and got rid of the turbo. this thing has been the biggest packaging nightmare on the planet...

                              I need to go and refill the gas in the welder, hopefully tomorrow, the exhaust will be 100% done and I can move on to some of the other parts of the build.

                              when I get a chance, I plan to pick up a beater Fiero and redo the whole kit. (then swap a N* into the beater...shhhh don't tell anyone....)
