hmm, so is there a check valve in the oem unit? I can understand that while under load, the turbo would create some vacuum, But really so much that I'd pull oil out of the pan? How does the OEM setup not do this? It's been awhile, so I may be wrong about this, but there's a line that comes out of the bottom of the block, goes to the OEM oil separator, another short line to the "T" on the valve cover (S13SR), then another hose that goes to the inlet for the turbo.
I was going to ditch the "T" fitting on the valve cover, run one line to the moroso tank from the V.C. , another line to the inlet tube for the turbo, then run another line from the bottom of the tank to the bottom of a block, to reintroduce the recovered oil.
I even made a little doodle of this and compared it to the OEM setup. If I'm being stupid, that's fine...not the first time. My thinking was the oil would get trapped in the separator under load, then off throttle , the oil would make its way back down to the pan.
