With boost your engine creates a greater amount of crankcase ventilation and will spit it out wherever it can find an exit! Add a oil catch tank and you should be fine!

D....I have my airbox off and cleaned it all up last night. NOT alot of oil...just enough to be messy. I have a fix in mind, but tell me what you find.

I had this problem in the past. Now I am venting my crankcase to a Moroso catch can.

Also if you engin breaths this oil keep in mind that your octane level will drop with all the consequences ....

I am thinking about getting this. Are there any other kits out there??? How do you install this thing?

Thanks!

So let me guess, you don't drive in the rain.

I plan to get an "up-close" view of what Jason Heffner uses on Friday. I will be there bright and early for a tiny bit of work and then the dyno.

This is what I am using and no problems.

Bill, how's that little guy working out for you?

The little guy seams to work great, I did 300 miles and only filled aprox 1/2 of an inch, this is actually a air compressor filter with a in and out back to the intake tube, no problems here.

Cool.

I told Chuck I would post this for D once I got back from Heffners. Here it is moounted:

And here is where it connects (instead of the tube going forward into the airbox):

I had this problem on a road course with my '00 ACR. Engine burps oil into intake box on drivers side just in front of air filter via vent tube from valve covers.

My ghetto fix: keep 1/2 quart less than max capacity in crankcase. Oil did appear to be a wee bit overfilled when I went through tech.

Yep, there is an octane drop. When oil burped into intake, not only was there a LARGE cloud of smoke, but there was momentary detonation. Generally happened accelerating hard out of left turns.

Normally aspirated Gen II car.

I'll get a puke can prior to VIR Viper Days.
