JLT Oil Separator

[WhitePlatinumSHO]

Just got an oil separator from JLT. Going to install it on the weekend, but if it's anything like their Mustang products....it will work awesome. Anyone have one already? Curious how much oil it actually collects over a set period of time....

Take a read - not the same catch can but close from my understanding:

Thanks. Don't get me started on UPR though... :0

Wonder how long it will be before there's any results?... looked like it would take a while.

LOL you sound like me...... When I was running in NMRA they offered to give me a front end kit and I just laughed why would I take out a PA racing front end for  something that is well you know...

I wonder how well an electric vacuum scavenger would work on these cars ?

Great article on the RX catch can.

Can't wait for pics and results!
...hey, that reminds me; didn't SHOboat install some Moroso's a while back. Oh yeah...here it is. I wonder what ever happened with that??

JLT Oil Separator is installed.....will check it in a few weeks to see how much it catches. Simple install....comes with everything required to simply connect (Factory quick connectors etc.) it etc.

RX challenge:

You can do the same challenge, but bear in mind, the UPR is more effective than the JLT, so expect most to get pulled right past and still be ingested.

Anyone with any can that wants to do the test, you will never look at catchcans the same way again.

Up for testing the JLT with the RX behind it to show how much gets past it?  Any can that allows the oil to pass right through may give you a "placebo" effect thinking you are addressing the issue, but until to personally test and see you won't believe how much is pulled right past 99% of the cans on the market no matter what the brand, or what the manufacturer claims.

So is a catch can really necessary? Or has Ford designed these engines to allow for that blow by?

[SHOdded]

Looks like the RX catch can does collect blowby.  Blowby does tend to accumulate and gunk up the engine systems over time.  Supposed to be burnt up during the combustion process, but it does have to travel to get to the combustion chamber.  Guess what happens along the way?  That's right, unwanted deposits!!!  Not optimal for engine efficiency, and certainly not for cleanliness.

So engine cleaners such as Techron wouldnt be sufficient to clean those deposits? Just asking

Problem is you have a GDI engine, and a TC one at that.  So any cleaner you add to the fuel only gets to the injectors and the combustion chamber.  You miss cleaning the intake tract, the intake valves, the turbo system, you get the picture.
