I hate to even post this pic, but this is the set-up I toyed with before dismantling it and trying the oil seperators that didn't work.
It was totally ghetto but it was more of a design exersize that would have been done up in billet aluminum if I hadn't quit my last job.
The cans had a long tube as the inlet going to the bottom of the can, and a short tube as an outlet to the next can in the system. I filed the cans with Chor-boy, an aluminum scub pad material to get the oil mist to condense before draining to the bottom of the containers.
Even had on-way valves installed.
It did work but did not flow enough volume, one of the lids kept popping off under boost.
I'm starting to wonder if the oil return location that the STS sytem employs is part of the problem. It dumps oil right back into the valve cover in the very spot I have the most oil blow out issues at. That line may be seeing boost and causing oil to bak up into that line causing the buzzer to sound, the return pump is low pressure.

 

so is the thinking -6 or 3/8" lines are to small?

 

Every catch can that I have either installed or seen offered utilizes 3/8" hose. I'm sure there are others with different port sizing. For the function of oil mist removal from the crank case via manifold vacuum I would say is more than likely sufficiant. Bigger boost applications may need more capacity to remove oil mist once you lift. It could very well be that this is a not a one size hose fits all applications. grippy, I guess I just don't know...

I hear ya brother, me either for that matter......

I did some mild research on those krank vents and everything I saw indicated they were designed for Harley Davidson applications.......

 

I would and will / can base mine on the I.D. of the factory lines.

 

Here is can that is pretty cheap, should be good for testing with...

If used for a open (Non-closed loop) air application and ones tune is adjusted too accommodate the change.

 

Does this look like it will fit on the LS passenger head as a support?




Proto Type El número uno.







This is a Proto Type but looks pretty darn good.

 

With my Livernois Turbo set up there is not intake tubo on the turbo, just a filter so there is no place to run the passanger side vent to that is not boosted. the truck is tuned like this so, does that make it Open Air as you say above?

 

Bling... I sent the Proto Type off and it fit perfect the first shot,,,,,

Off to the Bender tomorrow..

Bling..
