CDR & turbo
OK, guys, got a question here:
I've recently(as in, 6 months or so ago) added a Banks Turbo to my truck.
If any of you have seen the banks sidewinder kit for these engines, it has the CDR moved to the intake, just before the turbo... and /upside down/, with the input tube coming in from the top, and the vapors coming from a hose going around and down to the front of the engine.
Now, I'm not sure of a couple of things:
1. If I'm putting say... 5psi of boost into the engine, I'd have to be drawing a bit of vacuum. Wouldn't this vacuum be higher than what's seen without the turbo? (Simply thinking in terms of the amount of air which needs to be pulled through a given size pipe).
If it is more, wouldn't it be sucking vapors(possibly at a fairly high rate) through the CDR?
2. If the CDR is upside down, any oil droplets that get up to it will be trapped, and go into the intake(or stay in the can), instead of draining back out of the CDR. Right? Isn't this a bad thing?
(Last time I took it out, it had oil in the 'bottom' of it... but I doubt it's been working correctly either)
3, Does anyone have a good picture of our CDR's internals and exactly how it works? Seems like that would be useful.
Thanks.
