I'am just curious...If this is such a issue why wouldnt someone like Whipple recomend using a oil seperator or even bet yet include one in their kit ???

 

Because it's not something that is considered detrimental to your car. You actually already have a somewhat system stock. Like most mods, this is not something new, it is a much better system than your stock set-up. The FI manufacturers are only concerned with what you need to make the blower work...

 

Thanks mod addict, I was thinking about getting a bigger resevior in the future. I heard the KB is nice. I think my next whipple related purchase is going to be that tensioner just in case. With that thing I wont ever have to worry about it.

I am always looking for better ways to do stuff so keep it coming.

 

Call Adam at ST Motorsports. His tensioner is not as pretty as peter's but it's cheaper and works great. He is also the only game in the country to get the bigger TB/intake set-ups for the whipple (which are good for a whopping 55 HP) He also is the only place that has custom larger 'icebox' resevoirs for the whipple and they are pretty affordable and mount easily center of the radiator.

Without a built motor, you have no need for the big intake/TB/manifold kits but the larger resevoir and tensioner are a great idea. The bigger resevoir works great just on the street without even using ice to keep IAT's down during the warmer months on the road. With ice at the track, you can run (and HOLD) more timing and make considerable more power by putting ice in it...

Adam is definitely the leader and innovator of the whipple and KB. He is the only guy in the country doing whipple 3.4 and KB 2.8H blower kits on the S197.

He is also the only shop that is doing the big bore 4.6 builds on the 3V platform. When you're looking for an edge or getting the most power out of your set-up - he's a good place to start.

Only down side is he is a biaaatch to get a hold of...[:'(]

 

Well if you wouldnt be taking so much of his time we might have a chance

 

The oil woud degrade faster since there is no vacuum to pull out the blow by from the combustion process. It would make its way out of course, but no where near as quickly or efficiently like it does with the pcv system.

I heard people having trouble with their seals over 15psi so they had to delete the pcv system to keep the seals from leaking oil. To much pressure would build up and the pcv couldn't evacuate it fast enough. Not sure if that goes for everyone.

 

You can also order the can with female npt ports in 1/2 inch or whatever size is needed and then use a 5/8 inch barb fitting with male threads. The AN fittings are expensive, nice looking, but expensive.

I just know how you like those brass fittings from the hardware store.

 

well i just ordered everything on MA's list,
hopefully no brass fittings will be required
on this project

 

I ordered this system a few days ago from summit racing and just got it today. The reducers do extend it quite a bit, but they were sold out of the Steff's unit and this Moroso one was a lot cheaper. Can't wait to install it.

 

hey newbreed, where ya planning on mounting
it, would you post pics when your done?

thanks

i'm planning to mount mine on the inside of the
drivers side frame rail.....but i might change my
mind, once i start putting it all together
