![]() The problem also tends to be increased the more aggressive the VQ engine is driven. The reason for this on the vq engines appears to be because of the large vacuum hose that goes into the back of the vq40 plenum or the front of the vq35 plenum, goes straight to a fitting that sits pretty low on the passenger valve cover. Well this past month when I pulled off my Z plenum to get it ported, I again discovered a fair amount of oil in the bottom of the Z plenum and a nice coating going all the way into the lower intake.Īfter a little research, I discovered this is also a common issue on VQ35's (350Z's & G35's) and a fair amount of these guys have also installed catch cans. I discovered that about a year ago when I had pulled out the VIAS from my intake and discovered a good amount of oil just sitting in the bottom of my Frontier plenum. The reason for this, which I doubt most members have discovered yet is that we have a fair amount oil & oil vapors getting sucked into our intake systems. As the title says, I just installed a Mishimoto oil catch can today on my truck. ![]() As my Old Man used to say, 'not asking questions is what makes you an idiot'.This is not a very common mod on Frontiers so I thought I should do a post on it. Yes, I know people will roast you for not doing a search but we are all here to help. Also, notice the use of the words 'air/oil separator. ![]() Hardest part is finding space in the engine bay. Now connect the the outlet of your oil/air separator to the intake. The restriction must stay in place.Ĭonnect this new hose to the inlet of your oil/air separator. Once you add a bigger turbo obviously there is more suction, therefore more oil being sucked into the inlet, separator/catch can or not. ![]() ![]() On a stock turbo too much oil fumes is not a problem. Deleting the restriction is one of the reasons people have too much oil being sucked in to their air/oil separator. Run some wire inside the short pigtail shaped hose and you will find a restrictor. I haven't been on here much but really miss the respect.Īnyhow, for a simple connection just run a 16mm hose off the pigtail hose that goes to your inlet. ![]()
