Or run a Peltier cooler under them : http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_f...0.H0.Xpelti.TRS0&_nkw=peltier+cooler&_sacat=0
Having a monitor on oil vapour is a good measure on engine health. More vapour shows a decease in engine health etcWhat's the important of the catch can?
Like, I have one, but as standard it just goes back into the inlet manifold - is it really worth all the hassle just to collect some oil vapour?
Steel and perspex would act more of an insulator. I'd use aluminium
The sides are fairly simple and you wouldn't want to fully seal it to allow air to flow out as long as there's a good ducted supply in you'll be fine
Inspection again is simple too. The lid on mine slides into a smaller channel and held down one side with r-clips on some 8mm stainless bolts with a hole through them
Add some sticky back foam more to prevent rattling than a seal and bingo
I'll share a drawing of mine with you as it's easier than trying to describe it

I'd save the 92*C stat for MOT, you can achieve slightly better emissions with a hotter running engine.
Any reason why you are shooting for 11.5 AFR under boost? Have you tried aiming for 12.0?
I was running at 22 psi and Paul seemed bemused... Told him to run lower pressures!

Would have been interesting to let the fronts down more to ~15psi on a final run to see if there was any more in the 60ft time.

You sir are more than welcome I've never seen anyone so excited to receive something
It's in safe hands I know that much just from the above, glad you checked out that wiring :O
There's a cutting tool here for it too
It's a smaller bit so it'll be the same. I sold all my other tooling with my old lathe
If it stutters or resonates it'll not be the tool post itself.ok not a worry. I'm gonna buy a quick-release holder cos I read the standard lantern-style holder ain't that rigid or any good for cutting without stuttering/resonating, especially parting-off. setting up & swapping individual tools with the quick release will be much more consistant n easier too.
Those small red tools aren't the greatest quality they're made for smaller lathes than this one hence the shimming required. The machine will only be as accurate as you set it up.Securing the tool at the right angle n position and keeping it sharp made a difference. Needs a lot of tuning refining to get it right.

It won't take long to dull it but like a drill bit they must be sharpened correctly
the finish and removal rate will come from the shape of the tip tho paul, just fashion the cutting edge with a grinder
Brass Paul
Those aren't much good for your needs, I'd return them.
have you tried dressing the grinding wheels paul ?
