This is a very simple Mod which can be installed in about 15min.
The Oil Catch Tank catches the oil and moisture in the blow-by gas that is directed into the intake manifold that causes carbon and sludge build-up in the intake system and in the engine. It keeps the engine clean even under hard driving conditions. It's also a nice looking unit.
In the pic below you can see the oil in the tygon line. If you noticed, it has a golden look to it. Im sure this will get alot worst after I drive around for a week. The tygon hose is a large diameter so I took the stock hose coming off the pcv valve and cut it. I then slipped the tygon hose over the stock hose to give me a tight fit. The fitting was nice and tight until the car got warm so since this picture, I have taken some clamps and added them on to ends.
If you look closely below, you can see the oil that dripped on my valve cover. This was only after driving about 50 miles or so.
The can has a site gauge on the side of it which will let you know when its time to empty it.
If you guys take a look at your FMIC rubber hose that goes into the intake, you will see it wet with oil where it connects to the FMIC. WHen i took my hose off, i had about 1 teaspoon of oil hiding in there. When you start boosting, expect to see more oil in the system.
Hey E.D., My PVC valve (I think thats what it is, right above the oil refill cap) is unscrewed about 1/2" out, and it is loose, I can spin it back and forth. But since there is a hose hookes up to it, it cant spin, also there is no oil any where around it, so its not coming out from there, should I tighten it, or leave it be? Also can you post a pic of where the oil would be gathering on the cold side of the intercooler, I have looked but dont know exactly what I am looking for.
THe hose that goes from the throttle body to the discharge of the intercooler is where the oil accumulates. Thats where it hangs out, at the lowest point. The blowby oil gets dumped right behind the throttlebody then it seeps down past it. You can see the oil coming out around the clamp area where the hose connects to the FMIC (frontmount intercooler).
Hey wasp, I never heard you confirm anything about your dad taking us out to lunch so I bailed on you guys.
Actually at 10pm, the pressure was people and the carpet cleaning people came to my home to do some work.
I have an upgraded 2005 SRT-4 that I use for AutoCross. Does anyone have a list of Non OBD2 Pids? I need the mode and hex code not just the name.
OBD2 Ex; Throttle position = 01 11 meaning Mode 01, Hex 11, returns a*100/255, ie; range is 0-100%
Thanks.
Just to let you all know you can make your own UDP install kit for under $25 bucks. This is a lot better that just baking your pulley and beating it on the crankshaft. Here is what you need.
Go to your local fastener shop and buy a 12mm X 1.75 X 1m full threaded rod. Total cost was $10.00...
Im looking through the service manual here about how to remove the crank pulley and it says that I need a "specail tool number 6827a" which is an insert that goes in the crank to give the puller something to pull agaist. It also has an installation tool number 6792. Where can I get these?? Im...
I am having some boosting issues, and I'm pretty sure it's not normal. But I just bought the car recently, and am thinking possibly it is supposed to do this. Anyways, when I got WOT, the boost quickly builds to about 12 psi. Then from about 2.5k to 4k rpm, the boost stays at 12. Then after...
