Procharger Issue ....

[whyask]

Ok so under the car i was noticing an insane amount of oil being sprayed out of my Big red race blow off valve .. so i took the lower piping off and noticed a small amount of oil just sitting in the pipes ... this is the piping comming off the procharger going to the intercooler,.... NOW, Im trying to figure out if the seals are going on the damn thing or is just oil being sucked in from the intake valve comming off the passenger side head ...?? would an
Oil Seperatior like from JLT do any good..?? ANy help would be great guys im on vacation for 3 more weeks and the faster i fix this the better ... this is my DD

I had the same issue. It's pulling oil from your head through the little hose to your inlet pipe. I installed a separator in that line and my oil "sucking" has pretty much stopped. So yes, install a separator, or run breathers on both valve covers and ditch the line running from your valve cover to your blower inlet.

Also, pay attention to the color of the oil, and the oil level in your head unit to make sure the head unit is not the source.

Awesome ! Yeh I just changed the oil today and it was clear ..very little but none the less clear, filled it back up to 6 oz as directed and ill check again..

Go with a breather setup and dont look back... That way you can be 100% sure there is no oil getting into your intake.

I agree that it's probably oil coming from the engine vent hose. Mine was doing the same thing until I installed a catch can with a breather on it.

I love hearing good news , just trying to find a passenger side breather

 

[Marc s]

I went this route and tied both valve covers into it.

 

[whyask]

what side did you guys put the oil seperator on ..? Passenger side or Drivers side ..?? I have the Husky oil filter mode on the passenger side right now but wasnt sure were i should put my JLT one at ??

Mine is just coming off the passenger side.

Mine is just coming off the passenger side.

mine too. took care of almost all of the oil problems I was having.

Awesome I'll see how much oil the collector gets then probably upgrade to the higher end collector thanks for all the great info

I am going to check my piping now and see if I am getting any oil.Glad I read this.

I had the same issue even with the oil seperator. I was advised by Mike from BDP to go with breathers all the way around. No issues since.

 

[whyask]

how do you do breather since the intake going into the procharger is pulling from the passenger side ...?? Can you post a pic if you can ...... Thanks

I think you just plug the intake, I plain to use breathers as well.

I had the same thing with the catch can. It almost worked for me too... Then I got smart and bought breathers for cheaper than a catch can and now I have 100% NO oil getting in my piping or intake mani

Like I said, get breathers and be done with it!

Order 5/8" and 3/8" K&N breathers. They can be bought almost anywhere. Check summit or jegs. I also went with a CFM oil filler breather. http://focus.c-f-m.com/cfmbilletvalvecoverbreatherkitfor2005-08fordmustanggt.aspx

Install the breathers and plug everything else off... Its really simple and you'll NEVER EVER have to worry about oil where its not supposed to be again!

 

[Sofakingfast]

Thats a nice breather kit...Is there a baffle in the filler tube?

Yep

Just keep in mind there is very little getting out of the fac drivers side valve cover without some work. I think the fac. outlet is about 3/16" - 1/4" in dia. (actual size when open in the tube) with a check valve in there . See post #644 here.

The only issue I have with all those breathers is they tend to "drip" oil from time to time. I'd much prefer to run the separator/breather that Mark has on his. My inline catch can does a pretty good job, but I intend on running the same setup as Mark.
