Make your own Oil Seperator for $21

[mu22stang]

For those still looking for cheap alternatives, Home Depot now carries a HUSKY water separator that's twice as big as the one from the OP (the reservoir volume is appr. 2" diam x 4" tall). Same installation but you need two 3/8" to 1/4" adapters for the threads in the input and output, as they are larger. This thing will give you the pressure drop you need for this to be effective. It has the metal filter and turbulence element that can be removed, just as before. Looks sharp, too. - $22



The two 3/8" to 1/4" adapters you need as well...

I have the exact one sitting at home, but way to big to mount under the hood anywhere convient, and no way to mount it well, because there are no holes for any support screws. Gave up on mounting that one and bought a smaller one.

I got it from E-Bay for 20 bucks or so shipped and purchased my own hoses from Autozone

Looks a lot like the GREDDY unitw:

 

[03 DSG Snake]

New Style GReddy:

GReddy Oil Catch Tanks collect the oil, moisture and blow-by gases that cause carbon and sludge build-up in the intake system and engine to keep them clean even under the hardest driving conditions. The Traditional (Sq.) model holds 500ml and can be mounted vertically or horizontally, while the high capacity 1000ml Lightweight (Oval) is better suited for vertical mounting.


Anyone have an idea of how well these work compared to the Oil Separator type?

I had this on my GT30R STi. They had it at a speed shop near my house and i paid like 95 bucks for it It had titanium blue anodized fittings though.

OK. The fuel lines I used for this started to collapse in????? from the vacuum. Any suggestions?

You are pressurizing your crankcase under boost. You need to be going to the blower inlet with your hose.

I need to make one of these or get a catch can. Subscribing...

subscribing....and does anyone know for sure if you are doing this on a 2v that you need to do it on the passenger side....my girlfriend has a 2v with a blower on it and i just wanted to do this to my terminator and hers on the same day but someone said that you had to hook to the passenger side on her car?

Thanks in advance

Same set-up i`m running.I used a conduit clamp that i painted black to mount this unit.I also used fuel injection hose($$$$)to keep them from collapsing.Unit works real well.

Oil collected after a few days of driving.

If the filter were blocked and restricting crankcase airflow what would the effect on the motor be?

Poor piston ring seal and possible engine oil seal damage.

Any of that permanent?

LOL....Did anyone else not notice the humor in that?

 

[slow2002gt]

Update on parts? Im more concerned about getting a hose that will last are the braided hoses easily available?

 

[hardcore35th]

Good Lord

 

[03Snake04]

i picked up this small one from Home Depot for $13 .. along with a hose repair kit and a few other small fittings from Autozone for another $13 ... so for $26 I now have my separator installed
