3b s2 coupe resurrection

[newsh]

Superb

The thing with the CC breathing into the intake is that it will always breath heaviest when on full boost which is when you're driving it hard and don't want the oil vapour going in there and causing detonation.

I was at Knockhill on Saturday for a trackday, 4 hour open pit lane



It was great fun, and the car mostly behaved itself. The compbrake top mount nut on the NSF keep coming loose, so needs blue locktite or a flat unitorque nut to double nut it. I boiled the brake fluid (fluid was last changed in 2011) With the help of my dad, and martinws we quickly had all the brakes bled through, and the car back in action. No fade at all, so happy with the DS2500s, though I could brake later and be harder on them.

Engine was perfect all day, had a couple of good reference cars up the main straight

ABY S2, hybrid turbo, 340bhp, I can pass and pull away from
Focus RS dynod at 390bhp, I can sit on his bumper, cant pass him but he cant pull away.

So the car would appear to be running roughly as it should.

And yes, I do realise I was driving like a mongo, but it was great fun sliding it around, and I was keen to find the cars limits again. Slowing down, and smoothing things out later made things much quicker.

I can make the car understeer, or oversteer just depending on how you balance it going into the corner, so pretty happy with the current setup.

NSF tyre is pretty abused

Yup, came fitted to the car, I assume Steve/knightrider s4 fitted it for Derek/dm80.

Ok, I will try that, I used to run my old catch tank like that for a few years with no issues, but thought this was better for crank case negative pressure. I take it you think un contaminated intake is a bigger benefit?

[newsh]

Ah, OK a "newsh T" eh?

Try venting the catch can to air and blocking the 20mm hole in the MAF hose. That's how I run mine, no oil in the intake, I just have a pipe from the catch tank to atmos out the bottom of the car. It'll smell a bit if you need rings..
