Sagitar Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 made of titanium as opposed to iconel (Guessing nickel and iron alloy) Â Probably Inconel rather than Iconel, in which case it is mainly nickel and chromium. There are various Inconel alloys and they do have small amounts of iron, but only about 5 to 10%. Very stable and corrosion resistant at high temperatures.

Funky Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Guess you're keeping it for a while longer? You did mention somewhere that you were thinking of changing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Thought about it but its not worth anything  I'd struggle to get £8k for it and what else could i buy for that kind of money that would hold a candle to it ??

liner33 Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 New look for 2012 , the new lash adjusters I recently had fitted were faulty so while the top was off to replace them I took the opportunity to change it for a carbon look one and bit of bling  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liner33 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Some better pics, I've recently tidied up a few things and added a catch can  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Looks awesome  I've heard of catch cans but what exactly are they used for, what benefits do you see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 The engine vents pressure from the rocker cover to the inlet manifold and back through the intake , this pressure is made up of blow by gasses from past the pistons rings , oil mist from the internals moving about and slugs of air from the pistons moving up and down , its natural for engines to breath a little , they used to just vent this stuff to air but nowadays its recirculated back into the engine to be burnt again  BUT remember the bit where i said there was oil mist in there ??  Well that mist not only lines the intercooler and pipework but it also burns, which reduces the octane level of the fuel and makes the charge burn quicker so can cause detonation which is bad and can damage the engine  I've use this technique before where the fumes pass into the can and then are drawn back into the intake , fitting a can just means the oil mist at least the a part of it settles in the can and isnt drawn into the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
