William Rodgers Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I am curious as well.........Still debating doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgin Black Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I have mine. I haven't figured out a good placement yet. It looks like mounting it inline would be real tight for servicing it. I was hoping Jer would install one on his car and tell us how he did it. He has all of the good idea people there at SPP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car is currently undergoing "renovation" in the shop here, so I can't get at the engine right now. I'll try to find another car here with a similar setup, so I can mock up something...

Jer Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'm having my Deep Draw hood (that I bought in October) installed, finally! It's taken us a few weeks just to work out the right paint mix! But's it's gonna be cool. It's also going to have a different mesh than usual, I'm fitting the GT350/GTS-style stainless mesh instead of the usual hexagonal-pattern stuff. It's not easy, a Deep Draw's contours are a PITA to bend stainless screen to fit! So, right now, the fascias are off the car, and I'm gonna try to get a second to blow all the bugs outta my radiator and heat exchanger while it's easy to get to! LOL...

twobjshelbys Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hey Guys, Has anyone put the the new Shelby oil seperator on their SGT/SC? Any pics or instructions? Mine is coming tomorrow...... Thanks TNTChris Does not the Shelby GT/SC upgrade come with one? Both of my Kenne Bell conversions had one. I never drained mine, no more than a teaspoon in it, more work and mess to take it apart.

I never drained mine, no more than a teaspoon in it, more work and mess to take it apart. The GT/SC upgrade does not come with separator on the whipple. I installed the JLT oil separator on my car on the driver's side and I can get about 2 teaspoons of oil in about 1,000 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgin Black Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Did you mount the separator suspended inline or to a fender using extra lengths of tubing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elgin Black Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Just finished installing the Shelby oil separator. Took me a lot longer to decide on where I wanted to install it than accomplish the job. I took pictures now I have to figure out how to post them.

springer Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Here are some pics of mine installed. I did a fairly extensive post on this a couple years ago. There was also a link in my post that explained the principles of oil separators. All filaments that separator the oil are not created equal. The one that I remember being gigged the most were those that used some type of steel wool as the substance the separated the oil from the air. Below are two pics of my separator and another one after it was installed. I made the bracket from stainless steel and mounted it to the strut tower. In the installation photo, follow the "yellow dots" on the hoses to see how it attaches. Basically you cut one hose and run the separator between them. I believe I ended up buying a longer hose when I installed mine. (By the way, the black at the bottom of the glass is a rubber cushion not oil. The guy selling these separators also makes one stainless steel.) Jer, I'll see you next week. I'll be out in Vegas for about seven days - I'll bring you that GT/SC cap I promised you.

shelbytexan Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Did you mount the separator suspended inline or to a fender using extra lengths of tubing? My oil separator is suspended inline and seams to work real well. I was able to just cut a section out of the line and install the factory line back together on both ends.I would do pictures but I'm pretty challenged on the computer already. I usually have to have my son-in-law help me if I do pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgin Black Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 That is how I installed mine today. I'm also challenged on the computer. I took pictures and will get my wife to post the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNTchris Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 After hooking this up does this change the pressure readings on the oil pressure gauge on the gauge pod? Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elgin Black Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I didn't get any change. I actually can't see why you would. The crankcase pressure and oil pressure have nothing to do with each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNTchris Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Do you guys use the 90 degree or the 180 degree set up on the separator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgin Black Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 I used the 180 degree unit. I just installed it inline. I still haven't been able to post pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug_GT350 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Okay thx guys! I picked up a JLT separator in Carlisle this weekend. I think I'll just suspend it for now, if need be I can always reroute the hoses and mount it later. Next question...... Which side is the inlet and which is the outlet?
