Is it necessary to have an oil separator on the drivers side as well as passenger side. Currently I have a JLT on the pass side, but have seen some of the GT500 guys with both sides. I don't want oil ruining my blower (duh).
F/I guys, do I need two oil separators?
- Thread starter '14 Shelby
- Start date
I would do one on both sides, so yes.
Ok...but why? Is it just safer, or necessary? I mean the shop that installed all my stuff only did the one. Is it just that they missed it or overkill, etc?
2 breathers will get the job done better costs alot less!
I have yet to see even a film of oil on the driver's side on the SVTP GT. The Pass. side collects a lot.
So youre saying probably not necessary? I am not sure I understand your reply. Does the SVTP GT have a drivers side catch? or do you routinely check for oil?
Since I have JLT on the pass side, I may get their new drivers side next month and see how it goes. My DUB is going away for the winter so... if i do it, i'll post back here in June
I just connected both sides to one Moroso catch can.

i see 3 lines here, it looks like you have the VC's T'd into the "top" fitting of the can, but whats the bottom going to for what im assuming is a vacuum source?
That's what I meant to say.. But yes, I have both valve covers T'd together and the other side goes to a vacuum source. Here's a photo of how it's T'd into the vacuum source..
We have a JLT sep for the driver's side, but we don't have it installed on the car. I have that hose on and off the car a lot and never see a trace of oil in it. However, that is just our findings on a single car. Others do get oil on the Driver's side.
Way easier to do and cleans up the engine bay a little
I just went with a catch can that has 2 inlets and a breather. The inlets snorkel to the bottom of the tank, and mesh surrounds the upper portion where the pressure will relieve from the filter. I'll grab some pictures once I get the engine back in the car. I used some black nylon braided -10 AN hose and AN fittings on the can side. The valve over side I repurposed the stock PCV connectors.
I run a GT500 valve on the passenger saide with breathers on both, no oil as long as you clean the filters every time you change the oil. I have a friend that is running the same thing with a Paxton, zero problems for him as well.
Pics of engine bay??
NEVER!!! got oil on one single part of my engine bay. its really all preference.
so 2 breathers for an NA car work as well? this keeps the oil from entering the intake? ive heard stories of guys blowing oil back through the breathers on FI applications.
I put a jlt on my passenger side and my installer got mad when he saw it. Said that the TVS likes a Lil lubrication and told me definitely don't put one on the drivers side that it's pointless to, not my words just passing along
I was wondering what I should do now that I have a TVS. I have a Bob's passenger side that I ran when It was NA, guess I should work it in to this setup. Burke985 could I see pic's of how you have yours set up?
