Laodicea Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 how much is that crap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted August 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 I had to search a bit, but I found a guy on Ebay who carries the whole line of Racor products. The CCV4500 was like $200, and good for motors up to 400hp(assuming crank HP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laodicea Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 What a sham...you are paying for the micro-glass fiber coalescing media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j5 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 There was nothing wrong with the stock stuff when cleaned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Sure, the stock system is fine. How many times can you clean the fiberboard in the stock can before it deteriorates and sends particulates into your turbo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Looks nice. But this is a conquest board, they have anything in the 25 dollar range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 That canister with the fittings and hose will run you around 300.00 but when people are just so damn ignorant of what its for what comments did you expect? Not everyone has their priorities in the same order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxzillian Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Now THAT'S a separator! Expensive, yes, but I'm sure it gets the job done and then some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone has their priorities in the same order. Hey, I'm not ignorant, Michael Jackson, I made a legitiment post. Are YOU going to buy it? Is the OP? lulz, probably not. It's a great idea, and I like it, but seriously, there are items for much cheaper that do pretty much the same thing, and 99% of starquesters won't spend that kind of money on this. Just saying man, don't get mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted September 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Is there another seperator with replaceable elements for cheaper? You are right though, if I bought one it'd be for the Lexus. The SQ is all but dead to me. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustPaus_88TSi Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 http://starquest.i-x.net/viewtopic.php?t=1218 The last picture on page one shows the unit cut apart, and the first picture on page two shows one being flushed with a parts washer. Basically, soak it with a liquid degreaser(purple power or whatever), flush it out with water and repeat the process until the stuff that comes out isn't nasty anymore. You could blow air into it to dry it out. I'm not sure if mineral spirits will break down the filtering media or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FijiPhil Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 So what exactly does the oil seperator do for the car? Not trying to sound ignorant, id just like to know. I ran my old car without it and there were no ill effects that i saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Think of it as a catch can with a drain tube back to the oilpan. It's supposed to seperate oil from air that is being sucked into the intake. Creating crankcase vacuum is the goal with the whole setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayton Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 http://www.maesco.com/products/racor/r_ccv..._ccv_intro.html More info on specific canister sizes. http://www.maesco.com/products/racor/r_ccv..._ccv_specs.html http://www.maesco.com/products/racor/r_ccv_intro/ccv_ctawy.gif This is the sweatest catch can/seperator ever! Thank you for posting this. I have been searching online for a few nights trying to find a legitimate baffled catch can (not an empty polished soda can) and the best one I could find was from this company: http://www.saikoumichi.com/ but it doesn't have a drain back or a filter that you can replace. The right part made of high quality materials is worth every penny everytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eviper21 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 how about a moister catcher for a compressor....it seperates oil from air and some have a bottom nozzle fro drain back!!!!! and best of all its $5 !!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberquest Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) i have some input on that idea eviper let me dig up pics. edit: found them i put one on my 88 to see how it would do. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c107/questmanual2/3672d4f0.jpg this is what it collected from mine. i replaced the stock seperator. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c107/questmanual2/3932a141.jpg i got the idea from this pic and his is catching oil but mine was picking up almost moisture like stuff. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c107/questmanual2/oil_separator_1.jpg Edited April 3, 2009 by cyberquest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 The problem with those are you end up seeing two of them or more and most times those are on cars that never had a turbo on them and have been converted. They are also usually included with an open oily mess filter. They don't have the ability to flow high cfms at low pressure that is why they end up with oil in them. Soon as those filters get oiled the flow is reduced and the crankcase pressure increases to compensate if you will to keep the pressure flowing and that means more oil is carried out with the pressure. Most separators are mesh yes and those will have a sump or drain or whatever but a filter is different. The filter can't cause reduced flow or you went backwards by using it. If you want, you can try one of there inline with a separator just put it in between the turbo inlet and the separator and see what happens. You would have to get a pretty big one to be able to at least use 3/8 hose barbs to not have it becoming a restrictor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats exactly what i was talkin about tho....id put a hose from the bottom to the oil pan tho. honestly tho, id jus use the stock set-up over anything.....best working for the cheapest price..... forget about krank vents and all that exspensive stuff (unless you put that much money into your car) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
