Oil Separator

[[Twitch]]

So after 70 miles and 5 times down the 1/4 mile, this is how much oil I got.

Anybody else have a oil seperator? Is this the amount you guys are getting?

I get about that much in my cobra about every 1k miles.

I had one that size. The funny thing was, mine could never get more than 1/2 full - the intake was able to suck up the oil. I installed a larger one and it does catch more. Now I don't have to empty it all the time. Plus, I routed the hose (not zip-tied) so that I can empty the oil separator into the oil fill for the engine.

Got a pic by chance? Sounds interesting.

$20 in parts from Home Depot. Thanks to our good member, sgarlic for his handy writeup.

I noticed mine won't get more than 1/3 full. I also noticed that there's a warning label on the plastic container that says do not store synthetic oils in it

Thats wierd, in that write up i noticed a sensor on the passenger valve cover where the hose is hooked up to. Its the third pic down. Mine is a 2000 windsor and it doesnt have that?? wtf

Good eye. Mine doesn't have that sensor either... What the crap is that?

Yes, he has a helluva write-up on it.

It is a heated PCV valve, that is why it has an electronic connector going to it.

Those are only needed on eaton/twin screw type blowers that have an intercooler. Even those type of cars, my tuner said he doesn't waste his time cluttering up the engine bay with hardware store parts. I was gonna do one, but he said of the 100's of Whipple's he has installed not one got a seperator.

 

[02nightmaregt]

Cool thanks for the info. I was just curious.
