so i got my built 2l, fpblack running amsoil. compression test went great and running 28 psi. but im losing more oil than i would like to.....
and then i came across this
Kracka Crankcase Vacuum Kit
http://www.maperformance.com/kracka-...acuum-kit.html
is anybody running this?
im looking for a solution for my oil loss issue.
any suggestions/comments would be appreciated

 

how much oil are you losing per 1000miles? could be your turbo

 

2 quarts?
it smokes out of the catch can tho

 

I'm running them. Never had oil issues before or since. They give me a little more grunt to get up my steep driveway in first. they gave me .65 more MPG. they do seem to rub on the intercooler pipe but, so what?

 

hmmm bump for more ideas..

 

Kracka vents FTW!

 

My IX is my first car ever to not burn oil. It's only got 24k miles on it though. Do most people with Evos notice more oil consumption than other cars when the mileage starts to rack up?

 

I have 125,000 mi on my car and have a small know oil leak and don't need to add any oil between changes. I would do a leak down test and try to find out why you are burning so much oil. I have heard of built motors burning some but that still seems like alot.

 

i feel like its pressure issue. my catchcan smokes because oil burns inside the catch can

 

It's not burning inside the catch can. the smoke you're seeing is from inside the crank case. it's probably mostly oil vapor getting pushed out by blow by. Built motors definitely will experience more blow by but losing that much oil tells me that the PCV system isn't doing it's job. Make sure your factory PCV valve is functioning and isn't clogged. I've heard good things about the kracka valves.

 

Where the hell those things go?

 

Thats just what i was going to say

 

I need a kit... is it easy to install?

 

They're like a secondary PCV valve that doesn't suck. the install shouldn't take more than 15 minutes.

 

Do you have dual valve springs? If so check this thread out
