Those of you who don't have these mounted to anything, don't they flop around in your engine bay?
I mounted mine....but I can see (depending on hose routing) how one might be 'suspended' between hoses and not present any issues.
I can show you the product.... as it sits on my shelf right now
I have been working on other projects and just haven't gotten it mounted.Most people should not need one of these. For a stock engine, oil coming through the PCV is usually a sign that something is amiss. I am supercharged and the vacuum sucks oil back in through the PCV. It is reasonably impressive how much oil the SC can draw back into the intake.
This oil amount is approximately 500 miles. 400 of which was fully loaded, pulling trailer:
Tachycardic
SILVER Star
Here’s mine after 150 miles. Engine seems to rev about 50-100 rpms lower until it’s warmed up. And is quieter at idle. Going to tow about 2200 pounds cross country. Will see how it goes.
which product is this and what's the size of the barbed hose fitting? Thanks
nvm, its the amazon link - Amazon product ASIN B078H6C2Q5
Tachycardic
SILVER Star
I went to Napa and got straight barb adapters to replace the original ones. Fit better in that location.
Wow, you have much less in your separator than mine does at the same mileage (500 miles), just ran that test on mine recently. I have 320K on my engine, don't know how that compares to yours?

If you use the filter that comes with most after it quickly clogs the oil just passes by. Remove the filter and fill it with Copper wool see post #330 for best results. I get 10cc per 1000 miles.
Is there any benefit in doing this with the EGR and other emissions stuff deleted on the 1FZ?
That's how I have mine (EGR delete and block-offs), collects a good amount of oil vapor.
At 500 miles:
Another 500 miles with 400 of that towing a camper. Have not drained it yet since install. Lots of cold starts over deer hunting season, below freezing.
It's working!
