Build quality, post your print out up and afrs if you have them so we can look. Was it going too rich?

[ringram]

No official results then?

Yeah I'm surprised nobody apart from me has even posted their headline rwhp figure.

Take it that means it was a disappointing day all round?

There was a lot of smoke from tyres.

Good meet today, sorry I didn't get to say hello to all or didn't hang around long, needed to get home to go out.

Happy with my 388RWHP, not bad for stock

It's not running 100% right either as I get a fair amount of burnt oil out of the exhaust on the overrun which the catch can should have sorted but hasn't.

Do you mean blue smoke, or some actual oil visible exiting via the exhaust ?

Unless the catch can allows the engine to breathe, it is useless. When you read some of the American forums, it's amazing how many catch cans places sell that are completely useless because they are literally sealed.

Apart from traction

Useless.

I can only see one.

Where is the table and info like someone stated they were doing..?

Might as well have gone to the pub and made some numbers up.

Nevermind someone competent will have to go next time and do it properly!

Really good day today, thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks to all those involved in sorting and running it.

316.6hp rear wheels and estimated ~420 flywheel so happy with that for a standard 5.7 VXR. Turns out my car has previously been mapped...

That's it I'm afraid, surprised it moved the dyno to be honest

All I can see with my limited knowledge of power output is that is was looking fking good at the start!

dryes the tyres and put extra 6psi in the rears. No issue on 2nd run

Unless the catch can allows the engine to breathe, it is useless. When you read some of the American forums, it's amazing how many catch cans places sell that are completely useless because they are literally sealed.

It's definitely oily smoke from the exhaust not oil and the catch can is plumbed "inline" with the breathers coming from the crank case to the catch can and then onwards to the air intake. The can also has a manual oil return line back to the sump (which will ultimately have a non-return valve fitted so that it'll automatically drain down but for quickness it's currently fitted with a temp manual drain tap.

The reason for fitting the catch can was that I had oil misting issues and oil was being chucked out of the breathers and into the air intake and I use to get a puff of smoke on upshifts. That's been solved by fitting the can so oil must be getting in the exhaust some other way (I think) either past the piston rings or via the exhaust valve seat seals - maybe.

Next steps is the vent the catch can to somewhere other then the air intake and see if it's allowing oil through it (which I doubt). If it isn't then we'll be looking at something internal in the engine .

That's the gory truth and it sounds worse than it probably is, so there isn't much point in speculating further without hard facts.

Me Happy with a 377.2 WHP

But What's my Bolx Horse Pubfactor (BHP ) No. ???

Is it a %age or a fixed figure for the Drive-train losses??
