What it Oil Catch Tank?

What is Oil Catch Tank?

Blow-by gasses are one of the gasses that influence engine performance as miles are added to the vehicle. Theses gasses are re-circulated through Engine intake or Air cleaner for re-burn in order to prevent polluted air to escape. Although gasses are re-circulated for re-burn, not 100% of the re-circulated blow-by gasses and other particles are burned off. Portion of the gasses condensed to sludge or oil with carbon residues. Theses sludge build-up in intake pipes and intake manifold decrease efficiency of the air-intake and reduce power output. This may increase white smoke from exhaust.
Oil Catch Tank is installed in re-circulating pipe to collect unwanted sludge and carbon rich oil residues from re-entering intake.
Not only for motor sports applications, but also applications for diesel engine vehicles that is high in blow-by gas is recommended.
Moreover, if you find lots of oils in catch tank, it indicates problem in Engine.
This oil catch tank help detect the problems early stage.

Daihatsu Mira History

The Daihatsu Mira (also known as the Cuore, Domino or Charade outside of Japan), is a kei car-type vehicle built by the Japanese car maker Daihatsu. It comes with a variety of options and chassis variations, with the latest variant having four models: "Mira", "Mira AVY", "Mira Gino" and "Mira VAN". The Mira is basically an upgraded and renamed version of the Daihatsu Fellow. It was sold alongside the names of Mira and Cuore. The commercial version was dropped when the Mira was released in later years as a Charade. Out of Japan, the Mira also offer with 850 cc engine. In Australia, the two-seater version was known as a "handivan" and was later renamed as just Handi.

In July 1980[1], the Daihatsu Mira arrived to replace the Daihatsu Max Cuore. The second generation (L70) of the Mira was introduced in 1985, and the third generation (L200) in 1990. The third generation of Mira also sharing the identical look with the 1986-1992 Daihatsu Leeza. The fourth generation (L500) was introduced in 1994 and was still based on the same chassis as the L200. October 1998 saw the fifth generation (L700) introduced, 2002 the sixth generation (even though the Mira Gino (L700) was still in production until 2004), and in 2006 the seventh generation model. The L200 variant (1990–92) had two engine sizes: a .65L 3-cylinder 660 cc engine was available in Japan, while in Australia and other part of the world, a more powerful variant with 847 cc and a 4-speed manual gearbox was in use from 1990–91. A 5-speed manual transmission came into force in 1992.

The L500 Mira is the first kei car from Daihatsu which offer 4-cylinder 660 cc engine. The 660 cc Japanese variant of the Mira had a rather unusual feature for a modern car: the rear passenger seats were designed and manufactured without rear seat-belts being fitted. The Daihatsu Mira is one of the lightest four-seat passenger cars in the world weighing just 580 kg (1279 lb).

Other Variant

The L70(second generation) and L200(third generation) Mira also available in Drop off or Pick-up style. The pick-up version were drop from production after the L200, the Drop off style still available in L500(fourth generation) before it was discontinue. The Mira Gino, with its distinct retro-style looks, is marketed as the Daihatsu Trevis in Europe. The first generation of the Daihatsu Mira Gino is based on the L700 Mira. In 2004, the second generation Mira Gino was ultimately replaced, and no longer shares the same identical body as the Mira.

About Kcar

What Is Kei Car (Kcar)

Japan is a modern industrial nation with almost zero natural resources. So wisely in 1949, the Japanese government started giving tax breaks to cars of certain size and efficiency. These cars became known as Kei Jidosha (Kei-Car, K-car), which is Japanese for "light vehicle".

According to regulations, K-Cars must be less than 3.4 metres long and 1.48 metres wide. This is shorter than a new Mini, and not as wide as a Toyota Echo hatchback. Their engines are also regulated to be less than 660cc with no more than 64 horsepower. By comparison, a Canadian Smartcar has 42 horsepower, a 1976 VW Bus- 32.

The K-Car is very popular in Japan. The key to this popularity hasn't been just the tax breaks; it's the fuel economy. These cars have souped-up motorcycle engines with some of the most sophisticated turbo, superchargers, and dual overhead cams but they skimp at the pumps. Although the Kei-car regulations have changed over the years, Japanese manufacturers have had more than 50 years to learn how to get the most of every regulated square millimeter. Time to take advantage of it. Read more...
