Hey guys, bought the JLT oil separator thinking that it came with a flexible hose on either side to mount to any application (supercharger or not) but I guess thats not the case. With my Roush charger the intake plenum is obviously different then stock and the way the JLT canister came I can't connect the hoses without bending the hose in basically 90 degrees. Has anyone taken these hoses off the canister and adding their own because of this problem or any suggestions?
I have the same issue with the JLT and aftermarket intake manifold and fuel rails, so I need to construct something that will work. I'm going to use the Brenspeed approach with 90 fittings (see http://www.brenspeed.com/5032-05.html ). The fittings on the JLT catch can are 3/8" NPT. Just buy some hose from Jegs (http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS-Performan...02030/10002/-1), hose clamps, reuse the fittings on the JLT hose ends, and you're there...
Swapped out the hoses on the can, put the fittings in the new hose and when I took the car to the shop to have it dyno'ed I figured I would ask them if I had the proper setup since the original can setup had to be modified. They told me that I would have to plug the vacuum lines on the passenger side with vacuum plugs in order to install the can correctly on the drives side. See pictures
This is the line they told me to take out and plug (passenger side)
Heres where they said to DC and connect the can on the drivers side
Does this look right in regards to pulling that line and plugging the passenger side?
