  1. ** long read; think Ford has an oil issue which they don't want to admit

    Not sure if anyone cares but after months of research veating to atmosphere seams like the way to go. Finally decided to build mine after work today after reading through this. Unfortunately my picture files are too big so gotta figure out how to post them but I took off the output hose and ran...
  2. ** long read; think Ford has an oil issue which they don't want to admit

    if too much oil is getting by lowering octane then venting to atmosphere should work with a gutted PCV then, no?
  3. Oil residue comming from BOV adapter how to clean?

    I have your exact catch can setup and can tell you no it's not supposed to keep burning yet both of our are. That's why I plan on running vta since I feel like spending over 200 is insane for a upr catch can. I plan on capping the intake manifold line and running the out line straight down with...
  4. Oil residue comming from BOV adapter how to clean?

    The adapter is a piece of aluminum and is not even close to the issue... it's the blow by thats going to be evident in any bov setup and it's the blow by that needs to be taken care of. Run a upr (most people swear by) or just vent to atmosphere, wipe down and let the rest burn off.
  5. Catch Can Questions

    lol shots fired.. at least he's trying to learn his engine though. better than the people who spend $1000's on parts then pay shops to install because they don't know/want to know how to and brag about what the paid someone to do as if they did the work themselves. I wish this platform had more...
  6. Catch Can Questions

    look at a catch can design you like and replicate it. Personally I would just gut the PCV, route a line to the separator (mount it with a bracket) find a check valve that screws into the separator then run the line to the intake manifold.
  7. Catch Can Questions

    I think he's talking about the other line for the valve cover to intake. there's nothing special about it just add another oil separator and/or route the lines together add a simple check valve and BOOM home made "dual valve catch can"..
  8. Catch Can Questions

    because people want premade, surefire kits made just for their car. you can make your own for under $50 easy but the overengineered and pre cut length hose is how they charge as much as they do. plus the ford style quick snap fittings are nice but hose clamps work just as good.
  9. Interior Mods, ridding the plastic?

    For the center console, look up the 2015 rocket mustang interior. Leather wrapped and diamond stitched.
  10. running a VTA setup?

    I already have a catch can so don't want to sell then buy a $200 can with hoses. building my own system is more rewarding to me and I tend to delete everything that I can and reduce weight here and there. wasn't sure if the 2.3 had spring type main front and rear seals. plus any catch can could...
  11. Custom exhaust cost

    I got my res and muffler delete for $100.. granted I made it single exit
  12. running a VTA setup?

    Figured I'de open the forum up to different ideas. Im considering running a VTA (vent to atmosphere) style setup for my PCV system. anyone do it yet? just going to run a hose on my mishimoto catch can to vent to the ground. anyone see any issues with this setup? complete eliminate any oil/vapors...
  13. OAR stuck?

    that could be it. when was the last update? and how did you do it? man I wish I could run corn juice...
  14. OAR stuck?

    The only issue with that is if your OAR is resetting to -1.00 some of us are having issues where everytime it starts it's where is last was set at. Mine was stuck at -.77 for weeks everytime the apv3 turned on.
  15. OAR stuck?

    So the fist and fost guys were right! Made 3 pulls in 5th around 2000rpm keeping 7lb ish of boost and oar jumped from -.77 to -.83 but now suck there. Think I will try uninot allying next if it doesn't work again tomorrow
  16. OAR stuck?

    I thought about that and it would definitely cause some added knock it shouldn't explain an OAR of -0.77 after 3 fills from diff stations. I have been doing research on this on other ecoboost cars and looks like the foST guys have the same issue some times. Their trick more or less was to make a...
  17. OAR stuck?

    Not a habit but this was the only time I ever got a knock count from it. Do you have any ideas was can be causing the stuck OAR though? Most people here would consider you the tuning god of ebm platform.
  18. OAR stuck?

    Idk where you got WOT but around half throttle is what it says in my quote. Not WOT granted it's not good but not nearly the same and it's not a habit. But regardless guys criticizing a shift point isnt solving the issue the two fill ups later the OAR hasn't changed.
  19. OAR stuck?

    More than likely that's what started it off. Was in 5the at around 1700 and maybe half or bit more throttle. Ussually it's fine for me and i dont get onock counts but my gas may have been bad
  20. OAR stuck?

    So I'm hoping some of you gurus can help me out with a recent issue I've been having that has me stumped. I filled up with 91 like normal last week and when I was passing a car all of a sudden got 0/5 knock count on my cylinder #4 and a little bit of brownish smoke came out the back for a...
