Foreman Motorsports Catch can Update Emptied the catchcan after about 1000km and a trip to the drag strip.
Total oil in the catchcan about a table spoon <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
NO oil on the filter. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
Looks like my restrictor inline is helping slow down the velocity of oil through the can.
Before this I would burn about a quart in similar circumstances without the catchcan WITH the restrictor in the hose. Now I have virtually no oil consumption with the restrictor/catchcan combo. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
I'd recommend this catchcan to anyone with oil consumption problems. Just route the hoses like I have and install the vaccum inline restrictor.
cheers,
Chris

Re: Foreman Motorsports Catch can Update That would depend on how the restriction was shaped (Venturi for example)
