There was problems with the car pumping out white smoke, found it to be a problem with the forge catch can it is far too restrictive!! so ordering a draft42 catch can!

....I'm sure I'm not the only one running a Forge catch tank interested to hear more detail about this restriction, please. :popcornsoda:

They found when going over x bhp and left to idle the car would pump out white smoke, was creating loads of back pressure on the crank. Going from the standard 21mm to an 8mm pipe is shocking.
When the catch can was d/c the car would run smother and no white smoke.

....No such problems with mine, I'm glad to report. 21mm > 8 mm? Which are those? - Running to the catch tank itself?

Was there when they were finishing this off. Mental car :happy2:, and definately in the right hands.
Was so loud :grin:
Nick even took me out in it on Friday at 340bhp and that was quick enough. :congrats:
Think they were putting it back on, after i left, to eek those few more horses out of it for a genuine 400bhp
