Sadly yes. I think it is very rude. I mean if a girl I was dating had a horse for example, I wouldnt be like: "Ewwww they shit while you´re riding" or something like that. Appreciate the hobbies of your date more!
Try dating with a motorcycle as a daily (I also have a speed3 but boy I love being on 2 wheels). U pull up with a helmet attached to ur sissy bar and she just goes "uhh...excuse me..?" Happened twice Safe to say I only ride by myself now and only take my hatch on dates
I think its an homage to the Street Class rules of your car needs to be a date car, so they've probably been planning that bit for a while. twas good and pretty dead on
I remember about a year ago I went out with this girl for first time in my modded srt4 neon, I got on the loud peddle (very slightly) and she said “ is your car broken or something) because of all the turbo noises she never heard before she thought the car was broken... safe to say that was the ONLY date we had lol
Just as a trivia, in Brazil until October/2015 fire extinguishers in cars were obliged by law. Would come from factory and be checked for expiration date. Now they're optional.
Nice man. Me, I'm still looking at an Evo 8/9 as my 1st car actually lol. Hopefully the imported ones or just Evos in good condition don't get sold too quick! Here in Canada at least. Don't think there's a big market for them here, at least I think so..
Love seeing Ben being happy that his Evo finally runs. It brings pure joy reviving back a car that you had for so long. A car that started the road trip series
Awesome to see your evo back up and running. Last spring I spun a rod bearing on my evo 8 and just got her all rebuilt and running about two months ago. Went with the Moroso baffled pan and was lucky enough to find a straight cut gear for the oil pump. Look forward to watching your guys videos every Saturday
Your catch can problem can be resolved in different ways. It is mainly due to your tight piston ring clearance (check with your engine builder). 1) Run bigger AN lines.. Maybe -8 or -10. 2) Run a vacuum line back into the intake from the catch can to help suck some pressure back. 3) Run a vented dip stick or vented oil cap
Very good update. As for the catch can bin it off and have a proper breather made up. It wants to be mounted at least the same height as the Cam cover. Use the standard breather outlets on the engine. Return to the sump below oil level, and a correctly sized vent to Atmosphere.
When you're pushing that much oil, it helps just to recirculate it back into the engine. You can tap into the turbos oil drain line and it'll go back into the pan. Then just keep up with your oil changes and you won't have any issues.
The Mazdaspeed Miata's OEM catch can has a drain to the sump that suffers from blowback, but also never needs emptying. An aftermarket option installs an all-metal PCV (check valve) in the drain line so oil can drain from the catch can and high G turns don't force oil up the drain. Sounds like you need a similar setup. Breathers on MAF cars also let in unmetered air and will ruin your tune so a sealed PCV system is key. You might also consider a higher flowing replacement PCV to accommodate for the increased crankcase pressure and volume of blow-by.
Fantastic vid mate, not sure about mounting the catch-can below the oil level in the engine. Personally think that will naturally cause it to fill. perhaps mount it in the engine bay so it provides a second route when pressure builds? great power too mate enjoy!
If you don't already have one, a Kiggly Racing HLA regulator will help keep oil in the pan instead of the can. I never put oil in the can on my DSM making 800+ on 40+psi and 9500+ rpm, and I attribute that to that regulator!
Insted of running a catch can, run a resirculating system but a bigger can, to overcome the rapid fill up of the catch can by having the oil go back to the sump, like the turbo drain
Bro the cinematography on these is amazing. So much better than watching cocky dudes filming themselves all day long for attention. I love the documentary style of these and the inclusion of the shop guys as well as how much we have all learned about your evo along the way
Finding that balance of modern comfort and performance on these old cars is tough.. Cost me about $25K to build my Type S to be 100% modern and comfortable, but also have real good power and performance reliability.. I make 435whp/340tq.. Had the entire cabin professionally sound deadened and sealed to get rid of all rattles and cabin noise. Using a custom Hardened Rubber bushing on my Hasports to keep the motor and trans stiff but also lessen vibes. Full electronic suspension with height and dampening control from inside the cabin.. Electric PS and AC(AC compressor is from a Toyota Prius with custom lines) so no drag on the motor(although I need to run a slightly larger batter and alternator).. Trans is built but stuck with Helical's and Syncro engagment with a very nice full face FX400 Clutch which is stiff but very driveable. Spent WAY too much money, but the car is now one I can enjoy driving at all times, even in the city in stop and go traffic. I can have my family in the car and not have them miserable, but also have some fun. People are always like "Oh you coulda just bought a M3" or something along those lines.. But that's not really what building a car is all about. My Type S is mine, one I built myself, and is unique to me. I take pride and that and it gives me far more enjoyment and satisfaction.
you need a bigger catch can with -10 fittings. built motor, more blow by. i run 3 -10 fittings on my built motor. 2 from the valve cover and one from the balance shaft inspection port on the block itself. MAP also sells a vented dipstick
The PCV port on the rear of the VC is not baffled. Seems kinda common for people to start having this issue. Longitudinal force from accel + unbaffled port + the 4g63s nature of pumping a ton of oil into the head faster than it can drain back into the sump = this problem. Dry sump FTW or change the vent location/baffling on the VC.
I noticed you’ve taken your hood vent off. That actually directs hot air out of the engine bay while at speed. Your car being a track car will definitely benefit from it being on.
The date skit was spot on. Been there with rally pads and a racing LSD which would pop and bang when cold or at low speeds. "Is your car broken?" hahaha
I can’t imagine how stoked Big Ben (lol) will be when when all those oil problems are resolved and the car runs perfectly. Can’t wait to see the build come together
The segments with the date was great. Except I can see the opposite with my daughter. She would be driving the track daily...she is a gear head already. Her current dream car is a jzx100 drift car...
Hey man :) You should get a bigger catch can and have it drain back to the sump. You won’t need to stop nearly as much to refill oil. Also, I know it’s more money but a new ECU will give you so much more confidence if it can shut the engine down if it sees low oil pressure etc. Could save you another engine rebuild.
Get a return style breather tank and put the bung in the pan already. A little steel wool in the valve cover or putting a shield over it will greatly reduce the oil loss
You probably already know, but the valve cover ports and catch can ports should be on the same level in order for the catch can to work properly. Larger ID hoses/fittings are also preferred.
Ben go with a dry sump system many people have eventually go that route after going through many engines. Keep pushing that 6-speed club. Want to see a aftermarket company beef up the gears for the 6-speed box instead of taking the easy way out saying just swap out to a 5-speed.
When you fill up that catch can so fast, you should connect the catch can with an oil return to the oil-pan. BUT... so much oil trying to escape means: bad engine or bad engine measurements, so too much blowby. You really should check that.
I’ve never seen a more accurate representation of what dates think about race cars

At 19:36......Ben just used the classic pickup line, "Have you ever felt 400 hp?" My man Ben!
Those blissful clips of ben doing happy lil evo things in his happy lil evo made my day.

“Does it sound like this all the time” is the best one I’ve gotten so far lol
The date scene is classic. I have heard most of the same comments from my gf when she’s in my 68 Mustang.
It's a good morning when you see a G&G video uploaded 2 minutes ago

Instead you should you bring a gutted k-swapped civic

Your catch can problem can be resolved in different ways. It is mainly due to your tight piston ring clearance (check with your engine builder).
1) Run bigger AN lines.. Maybe -8 or -10.
2) Run a vacuum line back into the intake from the catch can to help suck some pressure back.
3) Run a vented dip stick or vented oil cap
That smile on your face is everything of how much loved you have in that EVO.
That cut scene with the date.. get an O2 dump and that will really impress her. #NailedIt
Let’s go!!! We love this build!! 🛠🙏

On the accusump you need a check valve so it only goes straight to the engine/filter area so it doesn’t go where it isn’t supposed to go.

Firstly, date skit was awesome. Been there haha
Second, set up your catch can to drain back to the sump.
Best part of my week seeing the videos on the evo 9 and the civic
This is how everyone should start their weekend, watching an episode of Gears and Gasoline.
I'd really recommend 1 way check valves on the an catch fittings if you don't already
Another great video guys, can't wait to see how your season of racing goes! You two have come a long long way!
Ben, might be worthwhile to do a drain back on the catch can, just make sure you put a one way valve in the return line.
Catch can is way to low in the system. Mount it higher up it’ll help
Catch tanks need to be mounted above crank case 👍 stops oils spill down in heavy cornering
Awesome episide, really enjoyed watching this!
When you fill up that catch can so fast, you should connect the catch can with an oil return to the oil-pan. BUT... so much oil trying to escape means: bad engine or bad engine measurements, so too much blowby. You really should check that.
