Oil in intake?

[xenonkuraz]

hi guys,

was cleaning out my intake today and found old sludgey oil in there. approx a few ml? could this be due to the PCV valve not working efficiently? or maybe even broken? mind you its probably the first time in a year (since turbo install) that i've opened it up to clean it (except for the filter element) so could this just be normal oil residue build up?

sounds like you've got a bit of blowby probably caused by your tarbo setup.. Have you had a compression/leakdown test recently?

Nothing to be concerned about blow by is normal.

IF there was a lot different story.

[xenonkuraz]

How much would you consider a lot?

In the first pic that was a year of DD and one track day.

Looks a lot but its normal. 50-60ml?

I wouldnt be concerned with the few ml you stated.

I'm actually surprised thats all you got.

Do you know much oil you're losing between changes? Dipstick low?

[xenonkuraz]

yeah it was about that much, lol

should i get a catch can?

I don't really lose any oil between changes

A catch can will help to keep the intake clean.

Its worth it IMO

Could I possibly relocate my PCV hoses away from the intake pipe, without using a catch can?

[curtis265]

you can use a breather pod if u want..

for the ultimate badass experience. Cops won't like it though (but they won't like your turbo either lol)

[mugen_ctr]

run a catch can an plumb the catch can back into the intake if u want less trouble lol, but it will only lessen the problem, but for zero blow by in the intake, as said just run a breather pod

U can always DIY ur own catch can anyways, not that hard to make, as long as u know what ur doing, heck u can even use a coke bottle if ur that cheap LOL

But IMO, all turbo honda's should run a catch can setup, since the pcv system isnt designed for boost setup anyways

[xenonkuraz]

So then, if I was to run a sealed catch can (legal right?) it still has to be plumbed back to the intake?

I thought it was as simple as:

1. PCV to can inlet
2. can outlet to crank case
