Do JLT pre-filters work well?

[Tarball]

I got one and put it on my drivers side this weekend. Even after sitting since 7pm last night there was still a nice coat of oil on the stock elbow when I went to put the filter on at 4:30 this morning, so I'm sure its sucking a nice amount of oil through. I still need to put it on the passenger side. The car doesn't burn much oil though, maybe 1/4qt ever 5000 miles, but I have notices some build up on the throttle blades.

Is it safe to just put an open air filter on the other side? or do they BOTH need to be either open air or connected, not one and the other.

Do you have a SC or NA ?

Consider a catch can. :read:

If you do breathers or catch can you must do both sides, not just 1.

Yes the pre filters do work well imo...

In my experience the JLT pre-filters get clogged/saturated and stop working. A catch can, separator or breathers will work better.

Why do you have to do both sides? I only have a catch can on the passenger side.

How do you have your setup configured?

If you only have one side connected to the intake track, you may be letting in unmetered air.

You should have the separator coming off of the driver's side PCV valve. That way it "catches" the oil that would otherwise be sucked into the upper intake manifold.

Those little things don't do very much at all. The "pressure drop" those provide to allow oil condensation is neglible. If you're going to go the catch-can route go aftermarket, or at the least, run something larger than in the above thread.

This is what I run. It's a Husky/Campbell Hausfeld water separator from Home Depot - $22 and about 3 times as big as smaller units.
