CDR Alternative Poll - Looking for your feedback

[hacked89]

Hey, from some conversation in another thread I wanted to open it up to community feedback. If I made some extra CDR/breather IP covers, which design do you prefer? Let me know through the poll and any thoughts or questions you have. Pics for reference below. All components are 304ss.

2 - because is more shinny than the one on my engine

3 because I am using the second water port on my pump and the other two options would block it

Not the NPT. Not sure if you’d ever have the clearance to spin an elbow on if you wanted. I’d vote for #2

Also check your clearance with the 1.5” elbow to the serpentine belt if you have one.

I welded a 12AN bung on the IP cover and the elbow fitting I used came pretty close to the belt

You would install the fitting on the cover and then to the cover to housing but I hear you.

I like AN and have done 12AN breathers before. it’s worked fine so far. I think I would like it a bit bigger than 12an off the ip cover but would have to give it some thought. Don’t have a strong opinion yet. AN does get increasingly more expensive as it’s sized up.

Here’s what I’m roughly coming up, I’m starting to like an AN16 option. Min/mid/max hose size. AN12 should be fine but I prefer a higher error tolerance.

Draft tubes, and I still have a gutted cdr valve, hooked up to a banks system.

Yea the belt that takes oil for a ride. This some old filter and a 1in 90 coulpler, I have someone weld together. This give ideal of the space arond, a -16 off a 90* could work.

AN12 works fine for now since my rings are brand new. I didn’t get total seal but still no blow by for the moment.

AN16 gonna be very tough to fit. Not sure you could do it. I like the hose barb better if you’re gonna go that big.

Plus I think elbow is the way to go. Not sure how you’d make that bend with a straight barb. It’s very close to belt and fan.

Thanks for pics and considerations

The banks adapter I have on mine fits 1" hose, if that helps at all.

Helps verifying the calculations are correct
