thanks dDuB!
i might just give it a go if i'm bored one of these weekends to be safe...

 

just made a custom occ out of PVC pipe. steel wool and 2 inch piece of aluminum and the appropiate fittings--cost $20--stuff from Home depo.

eBay: $18 shipped

 

Yep.

 

did eveyone that did this mod have an existing problem w/ sludge buildup or did u guys do this to prevent any issues in case condensation ever did occur?

 

I had oil in my intake, and milky "sludge" on the dipstick.

I don't have those issues anymore.

 

I wonder if this oil blow-back is what has caused the carbon build-up another forum member had in his intake.

It was costing > $2000 to repair.

 

it sure does cause carbon build up.

 

RXeightr-- yep I think it sure could add to that problem. Besides heck its a $20 mod-and it sure will not hurt anything. The fact that the 2006's have a differant vent system also helped convince me.
Could have bought one but heck I like making stuff when I can. Besides since I made my own I have some other features in it than "just a can". Steel wool at the bottom to help catch the oil, separtator plate in the can, AND the fitting that catches the stuff from the engines oil tube is a 90 degrees bend directing the "stuff" to the bottom of the can and the steel wool. I am going to inprint"REDMAN TOBACCO "design on it--or maybe "mountain DEW"
I had blow back into my intake and mushy dipstick stuff.

OK - you guys have convinced me to do this. Especially rxeightr's post about the intake carbon.

 

since i had my SSV's replaced already i'll check the tube again this weekend... though i believe i checked that once a couple years ago and didn't see a problem

 

Another convert here. Where are people placing the can under a basically stock engine bay?

 

I mounted mine to the air pump bracket, fits snugly between it and the windshield washer resivoir.

 

ok... so i just checked and found a horrific amount of oil/water/crap in my intake accordian tube


does anyone know if the cheap e-bay cans that look like the greddy cans actually have the same baffling/screens inside to get the oil to condense out of the air, or do those things only look alike from the outside???

 

^^Bump^^

And thanks Supergoat for the pics. Looks like a great place. Where did you bolt to?

 

Yes, any pics? That is the exact same unit I purchased but in polished (bling) finish.

 

can you check to see if anything is going on in the inside of those things? I'm hoping they are not that cheap because its just a hollow can inside

 

When I get mine - I'll snap some pics.

 

thanks...





what size tubing fits the stock fittings? I forgot to measure when i was doing this

 

takes 3/8 tubing.
nice mount Goat

Thanks! I used 5/16 tubing myself. It fits snug, but is a pain to get onti the bung on the intake tract.

Mine is mouned to the big black bracket that holds the air pump. If you look in that area you'll see. I'll go snap a picture though, brb...

<grabs camera and runs outside>

ok, I'm back, here is the mount. I lost the other bolt, so I only drilled and installed the one. I'm going to go buy another bolt today and finish it, but even with just the one bolt it's not going anywhere.

 

SWEET! looks like u may have found the best spot...
anybody got that info on wheter or not the hollow ebay models are any good or what? what would be the difference b/w those & a greddy model?

 

Mine IS a hollow eBay model and it works just fine. No more oil in my intake and no more sludge on my dipstick.

 

Does it have a drain? Or do you need to pull it out to clean it?

 

The one I got off ebay has a magnetic drain plug on the bottom.

Also, I've had mine for many months now and the sludge problem has since been fixed. And it also has an extra tube on the side of mine to show the oil "level" in case it's getting full, still nothing to show. It's mainly for removing condensation in my setup, I never had actual oil pooling in my intake like some of you have been saying.
