Air Cleaner Thread#83
Already know this is placing myself in front of the guru firing line..but am through with the stock air intake system.
Mostly with the fact on how the oil separator functions dumping blowby back into the turbo/intake manifold. Cleaned the intake after the EGR modification two summers ago, and am amazed at how much crap is back in there with <15K. Some oil 'mist' might be good to lubricate the turbo, but definitely not the cake that is present. Aside from the 'hot air intake', increased flow of particulates, and defeat of the highly engineered german system.. what OTHER significant obstacles are present?? Have an external oil separator worked out, on paper. Think am willing to sacrifice the bads, for the potential upsides..quicker turbo spooling alone. |

Want to sell all your stock stuff?
How much do you want for all the STOCK air filter/oil separator and turbo tube stuff? Shipped to 19454. I'm trying to collect everything I need to convert a CA setup to a FED setup. So far I have a manifold on the way.

You won't get any quicker spooling, only more noise which makes people think its spooling quicker.
If you don't like the oil mist then either vent it to the atmosphere (road draft) or use your own separator and block off the stock one. |

If you take a steel wool pad, stretch it apart and stuff it in the oil separator, it'll prevent the oil from going into the intake. You do have to find some way to seal the top of it though, I haven't gotten to that yet.

Am positively anti road draft for obvious reasons, but what do you think of the mist..does the turbo really care? |

If you don't like the mist get an Enviroguard CCV filter. http://www.cumminsfiltration.com/en/products/en_prod_inn_enviroguard.shtml http://www.cumminsfiltration.com/en/product_literature/en_lit_amer.shtml#crankcase Last edited by ForcedInduction; 08-11-2008 at 10:45 PM. |

Agree that there would be no change on a dyno, but rather the overall everyday driveability might be improved. Quote:

Hey forced, which one are you running the 08 or 09? Cost?
The perfect CCV oil separator? |

None yet. I don't know their cost.

well, let the hazing begin.. after a poor compression test on my #5=11-12psi, the decision was easy.
do not even have to start on the size of the filter, another is on order even though it is rated>110hp |

11psi compression?!
