SHO RX OCC with Clean Side Installation Option's

[BiGMaC]

Yup!... That's the kit!

Here are some initial install pics and thoughts ...

I am not going to install lines until My hydrodipped Engine Cover gets here .



Mounting bracket attached to front inside strut tower stud ... second lower bracket with 2 slider slots attached to can .
AC line is opposite  fittings on can and I do not know which one is charge side , I'm not concerned about this because if AC work is needed down the road later the  nut on strut tower bracket can simply be taken off and can can be left loosely attached to connect up AC Charge/Evac equipment . 



Top side pic of Can showing bracket bolted to Strut Tower Stud .
Drain valve is removed , I will install right angle adapter and reattach drain valve and then attach drain line to it 


AC line was slightly bent to move it away from can .

  I'll post more pics and thoughts  later  with lines installed after I get engine cover back ... hopefully next week .

Cool!  Way to go.  :thumb:

Does the hood shut without touching heat blanket?... & no vibration when the engine's running?

I considered this location... got the new connectors from Tracy today... So when the new bracket he's sending arrives I think I'm gonna mount in right front behind the HID.

Rock steady mount and no vibration  , clearance for lines  are  tight but does not touch inner hood blanket

That's where we mounted my fuel pressure regulator as well, worked great!

I noticed the oil blow by I'm getting in my upper intake when I put in my 3bar MAP.

I'd be in for one of these kits if there is a complete kit. I don't need anything show car worthy, just a plain jane one that works. Is that an option ?

The standard can kit comes with all the connectors, mounting brackets, and a roll of hose (you cut). 
Options regarding the oil fill cap/Cleanside separator are on EBPP store site and explained in Tracy's original post in the "PCV" thread.

I either have a different bracket, or a different mounting point on the can itself. I for the life of me cannot get the can as low as yours. Ill be emailing RX soon to find a solution.

Did you remove the drain valve ? 
It needs to be taken off and  and then a right angle adapter is screwed into the can and drain valve reattached otherwise it won't drop low enough to mount .

 

[thatsmrgimp2u]

Yeah I did. Problem is in the hanging portion. The lower bracket needs to be longer (going down) by an inch or so.

Are the brackets the same ?

Are they attached exactly as in the pic below ?

If you can't get it here...after you do the switch on the drain (you can remove and replace anything on the can except the center top the bracket sent to SHO users is as SW showed... but the one developed for the mounting that was for the Flex and supposed to work for us is different (check it out in the flex install thread)... If you contact Tracy at R%X Performance he will send you one.... Waiting on mine now.

Attached are a few pictures from this thread. Highlighted in green is the lower bracket that I received. The one in yellow is different with two slots instead of one. This is the part I was going to request from Tracy.

I wonder if there is a way to mount this in a cooler location? Like down low below the headlight or in front of the rad? Maybe with a remote release for the drain? I honestly believe that this is one of the reasons this unit (or any can) pulls so much gunk on the f150. But I guess we should wait for the results from you guys.

As I said in the first post in this thread  I see that there will more than likely be multiple mounting locations based on individual preferences .

I hope to see more installation ideas and actual installs with pics soon since Tacys Flex fix is in .

I'm not sure if any one location could be considered the best until actual drain results start to accumulate and  are posted with pics and or measured amounts  in this thread  below .

Another thing that will have  to be considered as well , especially in light of several new CAI's coming up for sale is that the  Vacuum area / source for the Clean Side separator will require modification to the CAI or addition of bungs to the tubing .

I'm with you on this.  On shop air compressor setups there is a minimum distance from the compressor to the drier so the air can cool back down and the water falls back out of the air.  Putting this can in the coolest location possible should greatly increase its effectiveness.

Correct.  Your a good addition to these discussions.
