Testing Air Oil seperators

[BiGMaC]

The clean side separator is an option...,but the can size can't be changed... There is no room for the monster can in any EB except the f150. The ca comes sealed with 2 inlets with check valves and one exit. Not a truly a build it yourself... There is an option for the color.

Was the UPR test done before the kit was made or after? Trying to see the timing for which is best and when.

JLT replied and said only passenger side is what has the oil issue?

I purchased my RX catch can a while back from (BMC) overall great quality piece of art,also have the upgraded hoses and fittings,for now only installed the front clean side seperator,hopefull will kill two birds withy one stone by hopefully installing a meth kit and the catch can by the front bumper,BTW the front clean side will help,but without correcting the lack of evacuation during boost ,it will push alot through the front side,check it every couple of weeks and indeed it does get dirty with oil buildup,pics below.  Z

Thanks Z, I saw that diagram on this or another thread.

What I am trying to see is if the RX test was done before the new UPR plug and play kit was done. I am trying to figure out between those two. Reading this thread as it is, UPR did not do anything but I can't tell which setup that was.

I have the rx in my SHO. Happy with it so far. I modded the air supply to vent to atmosphere. Instead of the intake box. I feel that it works better this way.

A question if you will... Doesn't this pull unfiltered air consistently into the system?

No, in my case I have dual filters on the clean side. I'll have to take a pic to illustrate.

Is it me or is that airfilter getting oil soaked.

Lol no they are black, there is a white strip on the far side that you can't see that tells you when it's time for a cleaning. You can see it on the other pic.

AH ok. I thought the white was the filter color and black was oil HAHA.

Hey ShoBoat, where is your reservoir located? Tracy at RX installed mine personaly and re checked everything again but I still don't catch anything. My tank is wedged in between fans and motor so now i'm wondering if it is actually getting to hot to cool the vapors down fast enough to catch them.

 

[ShoBoat]

Mine is located by the passenger shock tower. Mine doesn't catch much in summer. More in winter. I do believe that location is a major factor in how well it works.

I would also check and monitor the front clean side oil seperator,sometimes if to much is being pushed through the front side its not a good thing,instead of only focusing how much oil residue has accumulated inside the can.  Z

I always have oil in the clean side separator. Is there anyway to prevent this? It was making its way towards the air box until I rerouted the hose. Now it just sits in the separator.

Do you have any pics of the front setup.  Z

Not near the sho at this moment. Take some in a few.

I mentioned this a while back and figured let me just share my experience,purchased my RX catch can from a member here on the forum which was brand new never installed with all the extra goods,personally sent an email to  (TEAM RX)and honestly was amazed at the service and information they provided me,and commend them.  www.rxperformanceproducts.com  hope this helps anyone that has an RX oil catch can in getting any questions they have answered accordingly.  Z      :thumb: :thumb:

sorry so late
White is current setup where oil doesn't go to the filter
Green is previous run that would fill hose with oil and saturate corner of filter.

This is only about 2 weeks after cleaning the clean side.
I did notice that if I stay out of boost its much cleaner. But what fun is that.
