Make your own Oil Seperator for $21 - SVTPerformance

its wayyyy better then payin 50+ bucks to steeda or someone like that...

ZoomZoomMFer · May 28th, 2009, 01:14 PM

thanks man, but what about all the oil on the valve cover?

Fluffy The Rhino · May 28th, 2009, 01:50 PM

Looks normal to me

ZoomZoomMFer · July 3rd, 2009, 09:05 PM

well now caspers got me thinking this is not normal and there is something wrong with my motor

G.T. Rags · July 3rd, 2009, 09:09 PM

why dont u ask the person who built it for you?

ZoomZoomMFer · July 3rd, 2009, 09:10 PM

thats the problem.. AC said it was normal, so now i have two different sides

casper gt · July 3rd, 2009, 10:08 PM

we have been working on this for a while now & have some updates. now that I have most of the info about this (at first I was thinking holy crap the cai's full of oil) now that i have pictures/more info & know that AC built it I'm not so shure about engine problems (as I stated at the begining, my opinion was based on the info on hand, at the time, & was clear that as more info came out, that could change my opinion) my advice at this point is to get rid of the hose & seperator, then cap off the nipple on the cai & put a small clamp on K&N filter on the nipple on the valve cover. that'll keep the oil out of the cai for now (my car is set up that way & has been for years) & talk to AC & decide where to go from there.

I capped mine and put a PCV filter on and my car wont idle.. I had to revert back to the stock setup.. Why won't my car idle? It just dies when it tries to go to idle..

BakerFX4 · January 2nd, 2010, 12:25 AM

yeah i noticed that oil does get into my intake too. Ive got to come up with something to keep it from doing that but ive also heard it was normal but this is an old thread!! Bumping old threads is a no no. lol.

my car wouldn't idle either when i didn't have the back hose on the plenum connected. I'm not sure if this applies to the one's on the intake.

BakerFX4 · January 2nd, 2010, 12:39 AM

jakashh, i think he is talking about the black hose from the valve cover to the intake.

Imran · January 2nd, 2010, 12:42 AM

yeah i know, that's why i said i'm not sure if it applies to the ones on the cai.

BakerFX4 · January 2nd, 2010, 12:44 AM

oh... gotcha!

BakerFX4 · January 2nd, 2010, 12:46 AM

that would be because you had the hose unplugged that was after the Throttle body. You had the same thing as a vacuum leak if you unhook it after the TB. Computer gets all fucked like "where is all this extra air coming from". I wouldnt think the one on the valve cover to the intake would make a difference on how it idled at all!!

Thats a negative broski I plugged it on my CAI and put the filter on the valve cover and it dies then it tries to go to idle..

BakerFX4 · January 2nd, 2010, 02:24 AM

Thats might be why people just put a filter but still allow air to move.

January 2nd, 2010, 03:48 AM

it could be because I changed from a 65mm tb and plenum to a 75mm.. It has idled a little funny sense I changed it. Someone told me I needed to maybe adjust my TPS or it would act up like that. Is this the case you think?

BakerFX4 · January 2nd, 2010, 10:58 AM

when i changed my tb and plenum my car idle went to hell... i ended up having to get it retune for it later when i did my cams. So i just had to wait to install it.
