Catchy

I haven't done much that's noteworthy for a few days. I've done some datalogging, but it's not worth much without a wideband hooked up to the Hydra. I'm still sorting out the overly rich warmup ramping, and it seems that the car sometimes has trouble staying at or above stoich when under low load, like maintaining any given speed. I wind up revving for a bit and then coasting, repeat, repeat, which has got to be killing my fuel economy - now up to a lofty 13.4 from 12.6.

Today was good; I had an easy job. I had my boss fab up a little block of aluminum to use as a spacer to mount the catch can I bought from Jim the Mouse. I found a spot where the air filter box used to be that had a threaded hole, and the rest is history. Check out the foamy rings that are what captures the airborne junk.

The hose that the can intercepts was replaced for about a week, just to see how bad it was. It was pretty nasty.

More to come!
