what, really? I'm not getting any oil in mine at all! huh, I'll have to check to make sure. You're losing a pint of oil, though?!!? holy crap. I find maybe a tablespoon in mine.

<=-- gonna go home and check

 

i drive like a man.

just messin.... my hoosiers make me go through turns much faster than the average s2000 on street tires....

 

I'm not super slow, and I run R compounds... I just don't get that much oil in the catch can.

I DO blow a significant amount out the tailpipes, though, without it!

 

wtf?

 

Kit, I was hoping the '04 valve cover solved the oil into the intake problem. Is that picture of your '04?

 

/\ yup

 

That picture looks exactly like what my car is doing... and, of course, I get black flagged because everyone thinks I blew my motor. Even after explaining to peeps that it's "normal" they would flag me now and then.

Hopefully the can will solve my issues. I'll post an update if I learn soemthing this w/e.

P.S. I run RA-1's on otherwise stock '02 car.

 

For autocross purposes I use a mini air filter as a catch can. I see about a teaspoon after 1,000 of street driving and a couple autocross events. At the last event there was a 120 ft diameter circle that was run for 360 degrees clockwise (right turn). I got some smoke, but no where near what I have seen before. Evidently the oil clot passed could not be completely handled real time for this case.

For anyone interested, the link below is to a gallery showing what I did.

Low Capacity Homemade Oil Catch Can

 

I was hoping too! oh well. catch cans are cheap.

 

Yes cheap, but not legal for SCCA T2. Might have to write some more letters.....
