Banks Sidewinder CDR Setup

[jhenegh]

I know the Sidewinder guys have their own Banks' way of the CDR thing. How is it done?

In FORDF250XLT (Mr. Maine)(Tree guy)(AMAZING writeup guy) writeups I see no mention of modifying the CDR system when installing an intercooler on either of his trucks.

yeah i know it.i really do need to get around to this.it's really simple.i just need to rig up a catch can with a drain tube,leading back into the engine somewhere,so that only vapor goes through the cooler rather than oil.

Ooooo I like that. $125 for the big aluminium one... I don't think I could build one for that. These guys seem to be developing a pretty good reputation in the IC business.

Hmmmm --- 10mm ID fittings? Is that enough flow capacity for our fairly-high-blowby engines? Sure wouldn't want to build pressure in the c-case....

Wish they'd give a bit more technical info on them

That's about 3/8" hose. Hmmm... hadn't thought about that. towcat usually posts up the one he uses. I can't for the life of me remember who makes it but it again is not cheap.

Here is the one Towcat was going to use. I don't know if he has anything to report. The CDR and the Banks adapter to tap blowby from the IP gear cover are both 1", so I would think that would be the size to shoot for.

Any other experiences?
