Deliciousness: OCC Drain after 2 weeks

What kind of tubing is that?

 

[bova80]

jegs 5/8" except where the other pcv vale, its 1/2" there.

you want to find hosing that won't collapse under vacuum

Yup; that's why I asked! Thanks! (rockon)

at least the oil on top that it caught looks relatively good still after 2500 miles.

Honestly, do you think with only an intake, bypass valve, and test pipe that I would need something like this? My boost spikes to nearly 18psi, then tails to about 15 consistently. I posted your findings in the MI section and seem to be getting some flak for it, but many of the guys have similar mods.

 

[bova80]

i would say anyone with this car should add an occ.

 

[bova80]

also i looked over that post a bit, and for the guy saying only big turbo guys need it is dumb. i'm running stock turbo and you saw what mine is getting. even when i had a setup like you did mine caught a good bit of stuff. you won't see any oil in your intercooler pipes or anything, where it will all be is inside your intake manifold so you'll have to take the throttle body off and look inside there. or just pop the hose off the back of the intake manifold and put your finger in the hose and you'll see that its caked with oil.

I'll have my car in the garage today so I'll check that. My philosophy is that if it keeps the car performing even better, then its worth it.

if you injest oil into your intake manifold and that in turn gets into the cylinder it will lower the octane rating of the fuel

My theory is that the heavy knock that I get if I get on it during the first five or so minutes that the car is running is DIRECTLY caused by this. Just my hypothesis, but I'll know better once I get this installed!

Just a reminder; anyone looking to get a Saikou Michi can should get a price of $85, as there is some group-buy going on somewhere (not sure where). When I emailed them, they just gave me the group buy price without me even asking...

 

[bova80]

you might also want to try and clean out your intake manifold when you do the install of the occ. cause they are pretty dirty inside.

Great point! (flash)

Right on their site the stage 2 OCC, for the MS3/MS6, is priced at $85.

+$10 shipping. In the GB, you get it shipped free...

Ahh, I see. I'll see what I can find out.

Hmm, those Saikou Michi's look very nice. I think I might go ahead and order one, but first I'm going to go back and read all the OCC threads to try to figure out the difference between the various mounting locations, and the 2 cans vs. 1 can debate.

 

[SilverSquish]

This is some really great info that I was unaware of! Thanks bova for bring this to attention. I've seen occ's for sale but didn't realize the importance of them. Installing one will probably be my first mod.

Hey bova, do you happen to have a link to that hose you are using? I've searched the Jegs site three times and either their website is completely unintuitive or I'm an idiot... (braindead
