I am ready to take your money!!!
I'm ready to give the $ $ to you .
As I understand it colder temps make this an absolute necessity ...
At the risk of sounding stupid , the HotPipes that are coming to me will not require any modification for this evac system to be plumbed in ?

I'm still wondering about the plastic chunks in the turbo inlet pipes after drilling. How are these not an issue for concern?
Also someone please play devil's advocate and give the reasons the stock system was designed this way. Aside from air intake valve coking what are the negatives? Are there any positives at all? My father will see mine eventually and I'll get the old "stock is super engeniered and the best it can be" argument

The intake tube he's drilling into is pre-turbo, the hot pipes I sell are post turbo.SwampRat said:4DRHTRD said:I'm just waiting on Tracy for the pricing, I've emailed him a couple times this weekend nothing yet.

I would definitely take the tube off before drilling so you don't get any plastic bits into the turbo/intake tract/intercooler.

Hi All,
Mike is making a video coming up on the install that should be very helpfull, and I will try a diagram as well.
Drain is easy, there is a 1/4 turn drain valve on the bottom:
Here is a video of draining a F-150, only difference for the cars/flex is it will drain out the hose when the drain valve is opened. Drain when engine is warm, and not running.
Any more questions, just ask, on anything automotive/engine related.

Perhaps I missed it, but does this can have an internal baffle?

Excellent question. While most cans are empty cans with nothing inside, the few that do have baffles, etc. still allow the incoming oil laden vapors to mix with the outgoing, and then most are far to small in internal volume (2-3 oz's) so the flow can never slow enough to prevent oil pull through. RX is nearly 1 qt in internal size.
No can is designed like the RX.
Here is a crude sketch to show:
Oil laden vapors enter the center and travel into the primary coalescing chamber (it is as big as many cans) where the perforated dispersion tube evenly distributes them through the coalescing media. This separates 90-95% of the mix. From there, the vapors exit the bottom and enter into the primary condensing and collection chamber. The final suspended liquids will coll and condense falling to the bottom for containment. The vapors then must pass a lower disc baffle that ensures even contact with the outer cooling wall and then into the secondary condensing chamber where the flow again slows to allow any left over droplets that have collected and condensed to fall from suspension before they again are forced past the upper disc baffle and into the separate outlet chamber where they again slow until pulled out either the primary outlet or secondary outlet.
over 7" between any oil laden vapors and the cleaned vapors, and 4 separate chambers and 3 separate steps. And anyone with any other brand can can easily test for pull through by adding a air compressor separator ($10) between any can and the intake vacuum to see how much most cans allow to be pulled right through them...no matter the brand name.
Hope this helps!

Popped of T. Body the other day when cleaning sensors and changing plugs. Happy to report no oil came out this time. Still a little shy of 500 miles to drain can tho. Will post vid.

Not yet, so get creative and post what you find...looking at diagrams it appears it will mount in the same spot as the flex, but your the guinea pig!! Let me know if you need help, but if they are a competent shop they will figure a good spot.
