Oil seperator on 2000 GT?

CManT1914 · Sep 22, 2005

I searched but couldn't find pics for any GT's, just Cobras. I just made and installed an oil seperator kit on my 94, and with the benefits I've seen, my buddy wants to do one on his. He has a 2000 GT, but he doesn't know where or how to install it. I'm not familiar with 4.6's, so could somebody post a pic or two of their oil seperator on a 2V 4.6 (preferably 99+)?

What all is needed for a modular install? I'm assuming that line running from his driver side valve cover is the PCV line right? Part of it is hard line, can he just replace that entire thing with flexible hose?

Click that first link I posted with the how-to. It has a parts list.

It keeps oil from pooling up in your intake plenum. These modulars like to suck oil like crazy.

Here's my setup. A few brass fittings, 2 pieces of hose, and a $10 dollar water separator.I've had it on or months and it works great. The inside of the plenum is nice and dry. In total this probably cost me about $16

I got the seperator from Lowes and it fits perfectly right behind the alternator, and the schrader valve that sticks out of the bottom tucks right into the void in the intake.

yea its 60 bucks

and it has plastic elbows (which i am going to switch to the brass fittings). the only advantage if you can call it that, is that they give you a bracket, and even then it still doesnt justify the other $45.

To add to the first reply you got to this question, it theoretically results in a cleaner mix entering the combustion chamber.. i.e. it's fuel and air only, not fuel, air, and oil.

There's also been some debate over at MD about whether these are worth a crap on N/A cars. I drive my '04 maybe 20 miles a week (if that..) the first week I looked at the separator, it was 1/4 full. It works on N/A cars.

less oil in the intake also means less of a chance of detonation and burnt valves. mine was filled halfway by the end of the week aslo.

Mine never catches more than an 1/8 th of oil...always has a very small amount in it...Why doesn't mine cath as much as others do you think?

Good post on MD about it.

even though steeda sells it for $60 i'll just go to home depot and autozone to get my parts for that and it'll come out cheaper

the non pi version spits out less oil than the pi version.

their like $10 at home depo (husky brand) and another $2 for the brass fittings... they also sell a little bracket like the one that comes with the steeda. all the parts can be found by the air tools

03ghoststang · Sep 29, 2005

i just bought everything for this and it came out to $15 for the separator and fitting .........the hoses i got a friend who works at Autozone so the clamps and hoses i got for free so i just saved myself $45 instead of buying the Steeda one for $60

My friend still hasn't put his on. I'll let you know how it turns out though. Maybe I can get some install pics too.

03ghoststang · Sep 29, 2005

just finished the install on the oil separator it's real easy and i had a bracket at home so it's mounted up on the fire wall by the brake master cylinder it looks like if it was a stock setup
