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.
So I was driving 05 srt4
And my check engine light came on and while I come to a stop the car bags down sometimes.So I checked the codes it’s giving a P0508 code and p1106 code. Next day I try to start the car and wouldn’t start until the 4th time but it will try to crank over. And finally...
I put wastegate and dump first and somehow got o2 housing on second and the allen bolt is touching o2 housing. Is this okay or will it be a problem when hot, thanks for your time.
Yes this topic has been beatin' to death. But I noticed in the how-to people go off tangent talking about removal of the whole assembly. I do not want to do that. I just want to cut the chain. Main reason why I am doing this:
My car is on jackstands right now due to my AGP journal bearing...
Well I guess this would be turbo kit advice I was looking at https://agpturbo.com/srt-4-agp-stage-4-package/ , https://agpturbo.com/srt-4-big-turbo-kit/ , I need a tuner , and injectors and the turbo, I have the remaining supporting mods,which deal would be better? I am going with a GTX3071r turbo
Hi guys,
Its me again with another diagram. I'm trying to better understand the factory vacuum harness before I start messing with it (which is really what everyone should do), so I made this color diagram to clearly see what lines will see pressure during boost. Maybe some of you guys will...
