Sidewinders with stock intake

[Srxspec]

It is a MUST that you check your air filter more often. If you're experiencing milky oil or oil filling into the turbo intake (preturbo) or filling into the charge tubes (post turbo), it is likely because at some point you have ridden in a high snow dust environment (or right up against your buddy) which causes the stock air filter to become wet and can cause it to freeze in cold temps, which can then cause the oil to be sucked into the air intake and charge tubes!

I was also told to run the oil level not at Max on the line.. its should be in the middle of full and low.

 

[actionjack]

Yeah dealer just told me this. If you run oil on high side (past middle) you are likely to draw oil to intake.

Yep lots more blow-out when i ran level higher, check level when engine hot for sure. I get alot more out of my ROV tube then before when level was lower. So for guys with ROV in tact, you will get your charge tubes filling up with oil over time.

Main reason I removed my ROV to begin with. You got alot more oil vapors from this, then from snowdust IMO.

It cant be much if the oil level never changes..and it keeps turbo from rusting..LOL
Ill admit mine is to the full line and there is not much in the tubes but enough that I dont like it. I have 3000 miles on.. I would be more worries about the belts and alignment then a little oil in the system.

Its more vapour then anything else....just nothing you want going into turbo, poor design....maybe will get changed?? Or not.lol

How do you know its poor design? are you an engineer? do you know a lot about turbos?

These ROV's are freezing which says moisture is condensing and being pulled into the intake. Now that may be lessened to extent while passing through the entire intake, but water is not good for the turbo. The oily crap from blow by.....oil/fuel will coat the intercooler and reduce its effectiveness of heat transfer thus bringing up intake temps and ultimately reducing power.

So they dont know how to build motors any better then sleds? hmm.. sounds like a simple enough explanation that an engine builder might want to know about how this vent was routed with the blow off.

It's an EPA issue. their hands are tied.

I can believe that, its just like when someone adds a catch can or diverter to a street rod valve cover venting to minimize oil in the venting and being consumed in the motor.

True. Not alot they can do, same with autos. Tough with sled as its a cold environment which makes alot of condensation.

Its no different to me then an Apex, Vector or Nytro Motor that the crank case pressure is vented into the air box and the air box drips with oil residue from that venting.

 

[MrSled]

Here is what concerns me. If you add oil vapor or venting to a system as you create the fuel map and now you remove that venting oil vapor, would it not lean out the fuel charge? If thats the case then you drastically can lean out a flash that was created under stock conditions.. there some food for thought.

 

[fatchance]

It's actually the opposite. The oily vapors make for a shitty charge and can cause detonating. That along with the plugs getting fouled.
