Andy. All this is, is a (compressed air) co-alescing filter and is an awful lot of money for what it is. I am looking at modding one to see how it works. Maybe a wait and see situation to save some dosh.

I've got one of these fitted currently. Worth having as it does catch a fair bit of oil, agreed though it as quite pricey. Nice looking and very well made though.

Will you be at the Ace. Wouldn't mind a butchers at the bracket etc.???

[MadMaxHSV]

Probably not. Car needs a MOT and was going to wait till spring (just before I pull the engine
I'm sure it came with a sheet showing the design dimensions etc. I'll dig it out when i'm back in the country.
Not a complicated bracket. Just bolts to the head using the existing holes (grounding strap bolt and one unused)

[ringram]

I got a few of these on the idea that at WOT even NA PCV wont work and excess pressure causes blowby, bad ring seal and less power.
Its a replacement oil filler cap which acts as a breather.



If anyone wants one let me know. Ill bring a couple of the ACE. Am running one on mine at present.
It will definately stop the blower buys showering the engine bay with oil and throwing dipsticks on the road as well.

how much?

[delmeekc]

And from me, the cost please with postage, cheers

Certainly relieve some pressure, but boy, do crankcase fumes stink!

We did this on a ZO6, but the customer asked us to put it back to stock.

The only other way is to run a breather to the back of the car.

I run one but can't honestly say there is any excessive smell.

I have a catch can under the front wing for that reason....although I've never seen it.

[ringram]

Yeah I guess it depends on how much excess pressure there is as to how much crankcase air needs to get out. Mind you it gets out one way or the other. Hence oil sprays and blown dipsticks venting the pressure. Simple cost effective fix, but perhaps not the most ideal.

[iacs_hsv]

Need to be careful running crankcase breathers on a motor using a MAF since you'll be admitting un-metered air into the intake via the PCV circuit which will affect AFR (i.e. it'll start running weak causing the trims to jump all over the place). OK with an SD tune though...

I'm running closed loop catch can with LS6 vented valley plate.
