what do any of you know about setting up a vac-u-pan? i want to set it up on my race car. any tips? dont ask what it is...just wait for someone who knows what it is to post first. im looking for details to make it work properly. thanks

 

dammit i knew it! know one knows

 

Sorry to get your hopes up, I dont know wtf it it - but is that your race car in your avatar? whatever it is, post pics - I hear it's like the nicest LS on the planet.

you mean a belly pan?

 

whats a belly pan?

 

Do you mean something along the lines of a dry sump system?

Because the dry sump technically works under vacuum and "sucks" the oil out of the pan.

Moroso is working on one but I couldn't get any answers when I was asking about it. Seemed like they didnt know **** about it, even though they had parts for it on display at SEMA/

 

ok here it goes, you install a line with a check valve into your exhaust system and connect it to your block or valve cover to create a vacuum in your block. the nasty air from blow by then gets sucked out from the exhaust vacuum. there you go, no stupid catchcan to worry about...this is assuming you arent pulling all the oil out of the block via the vac-u-pan.

so anyone know now?

 

Sounds like something on a go-cart engine.

It might work... but I wouldn't recommend this to an everyday Joe.. main reason being you're gonna smoke. Oil that enters your exhaust will smoke, and it would worry a regular guy.. but since you're Mr.yeahLS I think you can deal with it.

BTW, my B20 CX is running. Did a compression test last night on my friend's digital Mac Tools gauge, and it hit 310psi in all 4 cylinders.
Hondata will be here next week then I will tune it. We'll see what happens, Shawn.

 

.....why not just rig an oil catch can to route to the exhaust bung instead of to the intake tract? Same effect, right? And you'll be just exiting the gasses that way instead of the oil and other gunk too...

 

Damn nice numbers Mike. What is the compression on the motor supposed to be?
Mine should be right around 11.95:1 with the B16 head...wondering what kind of test numbers I should see.

My Hondata will be here next week also

BTW: Thanks for the part number on those hexplugs, damn local dealer told me they cant even be sold seperate

 

I know what you are talking about. The tubing must be in dead center of your exhaust pipe for maximum vacuum. I freind of mine put that in his 510.
Hard turns on the track yielded in a huge smoke screen just like SpyHunter.
He was black flagged for the remaining laps.
The smoke was unbelieveable!! He's thinking about rigging it so he can purposely dump oil so he can smoke out anyone trailing him. haha

hahahha nice. but no, if you set it up correctly, you will not lose oil or make blue clouds.

 

only good on WOT motors like drag rail cars and boat motors.

Proper name is Crankcase Evacuation System,
