Thats just condensation mate. I'm getting one for mine soon, but I got a PCV system to sort out too for it. they need periodic cleaning out as well, you don't want a catch tank getting full or blocked

Yeah indeed, was just saying if it's in a hard to reach area, then a catch might not be the best idea! I debated one for mine, but in the end they just get too much condensation in (slightly more on S/C's than ITB's for some reason..).

Glad you're warming to it now Paul
#353: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Mar 27, 2010 1:29 pm ---- Anybody know what an optimum oil temperature is? At what temperature would it be classed as being too hot?
#354: Re: Project sleeper Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Sat Mar 27, 2010 1:36 pm ---- If you can get a coolant -> oil cooler that would be better ideally.
Should be running at 90ish, maybe hitting 100. Anything over 140ish fully synth will start to fail. Though evidently hotter = better for vicsosity, just not TOO hot.
#355: Re: Project sleeper Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Sat Mar 27, 2010 1:38 pm ---- I'd have thought 120ish would be classed as pretty hot as well?? Still, I couldn't put my finger on a good and constant temperature for optimum performance.
#356: Re: Project sleeper Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Sat Mar 27, 2010 1:40 pm ---- Yeah, 120 is fairly hot. I'd be worried if it went over 110ish. It should be within 15 degrees of coolant temp at a push, and ideally 10 degrees.
#357: Re: Project sleeper Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Sat Mar 27, 2010 2:16 pm ---- you can see mine there, but like what ed said its hard to find a place as i don't think I'll be using the standard air box yet i may get a bmc canister yet i haven't made my mind up yet.
have you got a new air feed to your box ed or is it still that horrible piping??
#358: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Mar 27, 2010 3:49 pm ---- The piping into the bottom of the standard air filter box? It's actually very good and the fabric inside is very good at soaking up and holding any moisture that could get into the intake.
#359: Re: Project sleeper Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Sat Mar 27, 2010 4:23 pm ---- Can someone educate me here, i thought having TBs meant there was no need for the standard air filter box?
#360: Re: Project sleeper Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Sat Mar 27, 2010 4:25 pm ---- Dave, you should have some form of filter, you don't want dust/particles/insects etc going into your trumpets! A lot of people run the risk and use the bodies without a filter.
