kahmann Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I thought you mentioned in another thread the the UPR piece lacked the filter media of the Moroso can? Nope. It just has a different filter. It's metal mesh, whereas the Moroso can has a fiber filter. I've needed a reason to visit my niece in Sacramento... We are still five short of the ten.

Beers on me So what happens if you don't drain the oil out periodically? Does it eventually block this vent and then cause other engine problems?

kahmann Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 So what happens if you don't drain the oil out periodically? Does it eventually block this vent and then cause other engine problems? Yes. It must be drained at least every couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildAzCat Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Mine finally came in. Of course it wont fit according to their directions so I'm testing it in different locations and will buy extra hose later. One question... How do I remove the OEM hose from the valve cover to the intake? I'm not sure if I should be applying pressure to the green tab looking thing. I don't want to break anything so any tips are appreciated. Frank It wont fit as directed because of this little top hat looking guy by the strut tower (sorry don't know what it is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahmann Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Yes sir, just slide the little green tab and hold it in place while yanking up on the 90* fitting. It ought to pop right off with no trouble. As for the mounting location, you'd have to drill a hole in the tab on the strut tower, bolt a new little plate to the tab, drill a hole in the new plate, then bolt your can to that, in order to make it work like the UPR install guide. I can't believe they didn't include all necessary hardware AGAIN with these things. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kahmann Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I didn't even see the GB started on this... Did you give up on it for sure? If not, you can add me. It's on page 2 of this thread. I ditched out on it after 'uno' found very similar problems with the driver's side can as I found with their passenger side can. If 10 people still want it, they'll still honor the discounted group buy, however. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dans07SGT Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Ok, since this one has issues, would the Moroso be about the best alternative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tested it in several location and by far the best spot seems to be where you mounted your Moroso can on the passenger side. It seems I just need to buy a lot of hose. How much hose did you end up buying for that install? I notice you have brass fitting and mine are black plastic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildAzCat Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Well it was a lot of tube. Just under 12 feet. I just have to get some zip ties to clean it up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kahmann Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Good work WildAz. Sorry I missed your question. I used about 12 feet too, not that that info helps you much now or anything. Let us know how much oil you end up collecting over the long haul. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they are needed since everything snugged on real nice. Did you use any clamps? Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you use any clamps? Frank Yeah man I used clamps all over the place. My hose didn't fit so snugly, plus I dig the look of the old school stainless clamps. If yours took any effort to slip on, I'd say you should be fine without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
