PCV System - Oil Catch Can

Featured Replies

So I've seen this simple mod / add on at the other sites I frequent.

My newest car is an '04 Infiniti FX45, and this add on pertains to all

cars with the PCV type system. It's a simple oil / air separation setup

using either a home made / store bought air compressor separator can

that's installed between the PCV valve and the carb/plenum/what have you.

This traps the oily/fuel contaminated mist that's blown past the rings, stopping it from being sucked into the carbs or intake plenum in the case

of my FX. My 240z has a Crown turbo kit , and I think I'd have to add an

extra one way valve because of the added pressure. Any ideas ? My

skills entering links to this topic are limited . Also an added benefit to

this would be no loss of octane due to oil contaminated air being burnt

in the combustion chamber that causes detonation and pinging. Does

anybody have this setup ?:bulb:
