Car is all motor, but you guys tend to have catch cans more than the NA guys
Whassup folks...
I installed an endyn breather kit a few weeks ago, and here's my issues..
1. Mounting the damn thing. As of right now it's attached with one screw on the strut tower. I've realized that I will have to drill into the strut tower or the firewall, but what should I use to hold the canister harness up?


2. I was looking to see how I could mount it, and realized that there was water in the hose exiting the bottom of the canister . It was not a lot of water, but more than a tea spoon. I am assuming it's from condensation; however, I am scared that it will drain into the block. HELP HELP HELP. What should I do short of removing the whole thing?
(It's the hose all the way to the right)
(This is how it's connected... the hose connected at the bottom of the t.)

 

you're prolly using the drainback feature...but i'm not sure on how to go about this either...

i would like to know also..

 

bump! no one else has come across this issue?

 

I run a similar set up on my car, but I do NOT run a drain set up for that reason.

I do have to take it out and empty it more often, but none of that moiture is going back into my oil.

So if you don't want that to go back in, just plug the drain and keep an eye on your level in your catch can and empty it when it gets about 1/2 to 3/4 full.

 

I've never had water in mine, I mounted it next to the battery on the firewall (EM1).

I guess it varies to the place and weather you have in your area.

 

I mounted mine next to the MBC. I used one bolt of a brake line bracket, and fabbed up an aluminum bracket that goes to the top of the brake booster, where it is bolted down with the brake booster vacuum line bracket. Pics say more then 1000 words...




I never noticed any water, but I don't think it should be a problem. Remember, with the stock setup your engine will inhale the same stuff through the intake...

The difference is the condensation that goes through the intake gets burnt up in the combustion chamber.

I've had the same condensation issues. You just have to change your oil more often, and try to avoid short trips. I also tried the Endyn setup with no return, and if it wasn't drained on a regular basis the thing would overflow.

 

I emailed ENDYN, and here is their response:

"The process of heating and cooling the oil in the crankcase causes
condensation, which in turn will cause water vapor to form in the lines
feeding the breather tank and the tank itself.
Of course, if you have coolant leakage into the crankcase, either
directly,
or past the piston rings, the presence of water will be increased."

The guy I spoke with sounded kinda ticked off, and suggested that I was bad mouthing their product. For the record, I am not saying whether someone should buy it or not... just stating my experience with it.

 

I put a hose on the bottom of mine and plugged it with a bolt, that way it can be drained easily and replaced with fresh oil.I also mounted mine in place of the window washer bottle, its fits in there pretty good. I have heard a lot of people say that the crap that collects in them is something they never want to drain into their engine (although I have never seen proof of any real problem)

My car has not been driven like this yet, but that is what I know/have done.
