Oil Separator Doesn't Quite Fit!!!

[jabela]

I went to install the J&L 3.0 Oil Sperator but ran into a little problem. I have to the Ford Performance Tune (M-9603-M8B) with the GT350 throttle body and spacer alignment it is very difficult to get the PCV pipping in there. I was able to attach it but the PCV pipping is sitting right on top pushing down on the throttle body electrical connection. I would be worried that the pressure against it might cause damage. Does anyone know of a kit that could help relocate it away?

Such a simple solution, I'll see if I can

Use the passenger side one?

Yes it is for the passenger side

It’s what a few of us have done here, it’s slightly angled but it works

I assume there’s a reason you’re not using the driver side?

I was reading that the passenger side collects more. Only really need driver side if you track the car. Was reading in other forums.

Oh I didn’t know that… was it mostly peoples opinions or data on collection from the manufacturer, etc?

I know somebody who works for Ford SVT and can ask the Mustang team questions... And they said the same thing. Passenger side is ok if you want, driver's side isn't needed unless you're on a track.

Good to know. I wonder if the passenger side is better for both applications or only an improvement for street…

Passenger side is helpful on a daily driver, but a driver's side can won't see anything unless you're really pushing hard. So my assumption is that if your on a track you need both, but for street the driver's side is a potential waste of money. It won't hurt anything, but probably won't catch much either.

I have a driver side and the first 1k miles were only street, it caught about a half a can. Of course, that isn’t daily driver kind of driving…

Never seen even a drop in my right side catch can. (Passenger side in rhd)

I ended up swapping my Ford Performance catch can (GT350 IM, TB), because of spacing issues with the Mishimoto coolant reservoir to the Mishimoto catch can, as it relocates it to the radiator mount.
