I believe that's the UPR one. You only need one for the driver's side and make sure it's 5/8ths fittings & hose not the 3/8ths they normally send you.

Gotcha so this would work fine? i guess some people just like serious amouints of bling and some people just go to home depot lol
I too suggest staying away from the 'Home Depot' ones.. they hold too little and, from what I've read, often cause more problems then they solve. |

NO - the one you pictured is NOT the BKU unit and you can tell by how the inlet and outlet is necked down creating a restriction. Dude there is no comparison to the Moroso unit. This is exactly what I'm getting away from a Home Depot style solution. BKU Motorsports is a race shop and Brett has a lifetime history with Ford. These are special made OIL separators designed to withstand higher temps of the engine compartment. He flow tests the unit to meet the cfm specs for the 4.6 3V (and other engines) to maintain the proper flow rates. The petcock is a threaded brass drain with an O ring. And he can set them how however you like depending where you want to mount it for not much money. And ask about the extra service he has provided other members. http://www.charliehorse.com/BKU%20install%203%20w.JPG |

And while you may like your shiny aluminum can, you can't get a visual nor is it flow tested for your engine specs.

Someone please post a link to where we can buy this BKU Motorsports setup. Googling "BKU Motorsports" turns up nothing.

This is just an off the counter part (w/ to many adapters) that is semi effective and leaky at times if you run synthetic oil. Cost effective yes, but effective MEH. If you're motor is blown that's even more reason not to go down this path. I know a lot of people take this route but it's not for me this unit doesn't raise the bar to me as a separator, plus it's FuGly! http://www3.telus.net/albrecht/oil_s...of_the_box.jpg I switched to the UPR oil separator and it works fine. I did add hydraulic hoses because the supplied hoses will collapse under vacuum. All I had to cut the hydraulic hose was a hacksaw, and it was a PITA! |

dude that moroso looks sweet but i can't find it on the lethal performance website
where can i get it installed? I'm in socal as well, thanks. |
Well went to home depot, got a husky filter, modified the element a bit to breathe better, sealed up the bottom nipple good. went to napa got some 1/2 fuel line, went to ace got some 1/4 brass fittings.
Filter: 12.00 Fuel hose: 3.00 fittings: 2.00 clamps: 3.00 Total 20 and some change. i have heard nothing but good things about the simple husky filters, anything wrong was due to the installation. this should do the trick as it has for many others simple :) |

Well good luck with that WATER separator with 1/4" fittings, its low temp plastic bowl in your engine compartment, and suckable screen filter for your intake. I mean 1/4" - yeah that's about the size of the PVC tube you're replacing right? ;)
i drilled enough that when i blow through it matches the "freeness" of the stock piece :) and if you actually look through the stock pvc pipe it's not much larger than my brass pieces at all. havent heard one complaint on the thing and people have been using it for years, you figure one would have melted or something right? lol or broke or w/e |

Yeah Jed...got to agree with Charlehorse on this one. I also have the BKU Motorsports oil separator. It does everything as advertised. While I agree it doesn't have the "Bling" factor of your Moroso at least I can see the crap in mine and empty it as needed without taking the whole thing apart to see what I have captured. Just another opinion. And at $60 bucks shipped with exta hose and fittings !!

Please elaborate on BKU Motorsports. When you do a web search all you get are Ebay comments. You mentioned a "Race" shop where and what do they specialize in? I did a BBB search and got nothing. "Flow tested to your engine specs" Please...I have some beach front property in Alaska if you're interested (Humor). :D That said I do respect you're choice if your happy with the unit great! I just found some of parts to this tale let's say interesting. :)
So you don't believe there's an engineered design with the PVC system? Then why aren't both the left and right bank tubes the same size?? Especially with the 4.6 not having an actual PCV but merely an open tube... From the factory, the 'intake' (passenger side) is very small to allow venting but not allow free backflow of crankcase gasses. The 'outlet' (drivers side) is larger so the flow of gasses is exhausted here back into the intake. If you neck down your separator & lines to 1/4" you don't think you'll be building excess back pressure? You don't think you'll be countering engineered specs? You really think Brett would make up b.s. to sell a unit for a lousy $50 or 60 bucks - with transmission line? (I paid $45 back in April w/petcock added, w/o trans line, w shipping.) There's not that much margin in it. Once you hold it in your hand you realize its a quality unit. And he bench tests & modifies his units depending on NA or FI to stay within spec. And there's plenty of horror stories from people that didn't buy a properly designed unit. |
