I'm trying to get some other ideas of known issues for ways oil can enter the intake system.

Other than the PCV what other ways could oil enter?

Intake manifold gaskets?
Does the car have oil for the supercharger that can leak?
Any o rings on any thing?
I noticed the intake hose directly in front of the throttle body has dryed oil on the right side, some thing near by is leaking.

 

Normal operation through the crankcase breather system. If you want to reduce it, install and oil seperator inline on the full load breather in the intake tube before the throttle body

 

good idea

 

Theyre about $45 at JEGS Performance Auto Parts - Holley - Billet Specialties - Edelbrock - MSD - Moroso - Mr Gasket
ive got one on my supercharged nissan

 

I've got one of these on the 300. It is amazing how much oil is in it at each oil change (every 3000 miles).

Billet Technology Catch Can for HEMI 5.7L & 6.1L | ShopHEMI.com

There are cheaper ones out there if you do a catch can. What sold me on this one was the ease to empty it, the all aluminum construction, made in the USA.

Like BRUTAL says, it just goes in line from the PCV to intake hose.

 

Great thanks, there is not much room under the hood. Where did you chose to mount it.

 

It's funny that this topic came up... I've wanted to hook up with a local owner and see what the options are. Billet Technology is very active on the LX forum I'm on. They make multiple mounts for the LX platform cars that connect to the can. I like the "fender mount" so that is what I have.

Here is a picture: (not my car..off their website)



I bet if they had information on what was needed (bracket, hose size and length, and fitting sizes) they would be willing to put together a kit. I'd be willing to "break the ice" if there was enough interest. I myself plan on getting another can to adapt to the Grand Caravan. I just cleaned the throttle body on it at 60k and man was it scary. All kinds of oil and gunk on it and in the intake!

 

I purchased JEGS Performance Products 52205 - JEG'S Air Oil Separator. I will try to modify the old PCV valve in order to keep the original quick disconnect vacuum line.

 

Yea, that's the same type of devise that the Billet Catch Can is. What I like about the Billet one is that nothing in it, even the media for separating the oil, is plastic except for the rubber o-ring that seals the can to the separator. Granted, Billet Technology doesn't have a universal mounting bracket (why I wanted to see someone's car).

That should do the trick though, and hopefully you start a trend on here. I'm sure these things will help keep stuff clean. I know it works wonders on my car.

 

on the str where would u connect the catch can to??

 

That is why I was asking about someone to work with. The folks at Billet Technology have a tight relationship with the folks on a LX forum. I'm sure that if I could see the PCV routing from the engine to the intake we could come up with a solution for hose routing and can location. They don't need to be right next to each other. Mine is routed from the engine to the fender area then back to the intake. The hoses are out of the way and the can is effective.

So, again, any volunteers?

If I get some collaboration I will try to open up the dialog with them for a custom solution.

 

It should be really simple if you have an STR and a Mafioso intake tube. I guess I need to pick one up.

Well said, maybe in the jtis it might a pcv route diagram.

 

I'll do it.

 

You've got a PM.

 

any updates?

 

Waiting on pictures from Michael.

Talked with BT as well.

Stay tuned.

this is what I have so far

 

I think I'll swap all the fitings over to 90 degree bends
