im sure he knows what he is doing

yeh, his car has been boosted for 2-3 years now with only having to replace the motor once(?) he knows the risks hes takin... this car is beast for what it is.


i myself would throw a filter on there right away, but as it was said, hes workin on it. he has a whole thread on daewootech for his car.

The other thing I see is the crank case vent going to the mouth of the comp housing, weld a bung into the stainless tube and send it there. You don't need the oil being sent though the housing.

You dont want to do that because it will pressurize the crankcase under boost.

True, wasn't thinking when I wrote that.

The PCV valve is a one way check valve, only letting air out of the crank case....but I still wouldn't put it on the piping.

you would be surprised how often a PCV valve sticks open.

True, which is why they're supposed to be inspected ever 50,000 km.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what kinda times it runs?

that run was on low boost i believe, he puts out more power now days

He claims he can slightly beat his friend's mazdaspeed 3 on the 1/4 mile, which is slightly modified, so his optra is pretty fast and that was a while ago, might be even faster now, imo hes running low 14's maybe high 13's, im sure he cant wait to post up to date times next summer when his 1/4 mile track re-opens.
