    Just returned from a 750 mile round trip to Cumbria. Catch can has about 10mm of oily sludge in the bottom. New duct working nicely. Car ran perfectly. Couldn’t smell any fumes inside the car.

    Thankyou for this video. I’ve learnt a fair few things from you, I always wondered what the pipes were for on the intake!
    I’m going to be doing this next week as have some smoke out the exhaust when accelerating. Fingers crossed!
    I don’t think I’ll renew the pipes for silicone but definately add a catch pot.
    Thanks again 👍

    Putting the outlet from the oil catcher into the air filter housing could affect the air flow measurement and thus the fuel mixture,,,,,it would be better back somewhere as it was originally which would mean that you were clearing the oil but burning off the fumes which shouldn't really affect performance, great video, just my opinion,hope you don't mind

    • @BeavisPits
      @BeavisPits  4 года назад

      Good point! It could affect the airflow sensor. What I need for MoT day is an aluminium hose joiner with a small spur on it to allow me to easily connect the catch tank output to it. It can then be blanked off the rest of the year, or swapped back to the plain joiner.

    • @robineureka7897
      @robineureka7897 4 года назад +1

      Yes agree, I thought Scott did that at first but know seeing the vid i see he vented into the atmosphere using the filter, not ideal. I fitted mine with the catch tank catching the sludge then the vapour goes back into the original fitting on the pan pipes, that way you only get rid of the oil and burn the polluting vapour.

    Great video. Keep them coming. You fan base is growing as we love them. Those stupid 4 pipes on the inlet. I looked it up. This is what Nodge69 says and he’s right. The 4 pipes are induction resonators. They can also be known as Helmholtz resonators. The primary task of induction resonators, is to reduce induction noise. In a NA engine, they can be turned to aid the induction cycle and boost torque. However on a turbo engine they don't reduce noise much and make no difference to the torque at all. Nearly all cars after the mid 80s had some kind of resonator in the induction system. More moderd engines are moving away from them. Mostly due to the little effect they have and the added cost of incorporating them.

    • @BeavisPits
      @BeavisPits  4 года назад

      Thanks for the info. The engine is definitely quieter and more powerful with the new setup. This is probably mostly down to the 100% clean air now going in, but I can’t help thinking that those resonant chambers made things worse not better. LR dropped them on later models.

    I could be wrong, but I'm sure I read in the workshop manual the oil / crank case breather feed into the air intake doubles as a lubrication for the air flow side of the turbo. Would be interesting to see how this system works in terms of longivity.
    Nice video though! Nice result too!

    • @BeavisPits
      @BeavisPits  4 года назад +1

      The turbo has a separate oil feed for lubrication. Also I would not expect much blowby oil from a newer engine so I can’t really see this being the case. I’ve done a few thousand miles now on this intake and it is running really well. Smooth and powerful, like driving a new car again.

      I hope to try some aluminium casting one day but not possible at my current house. I use rigid polyurethane for my engine bay parts, cast from a 3D printed buck/positive. This can withstand the heat unlike PLA. I’m also trying ASA filament which is meant to as tough as ABS but without the adhesion/warping issues.

    • @BeavisPits

  • @roderickw519
    @roderickw519 2 года назад +1

    Thanks for the informative video. On our FL2 (2007) the two ends of the air duct have different diameters. The air filter box end is 70mm but the end of the duct that goes down to the turbo is 80mm. Did you have difficulty getting the 70mm ID silicon onto the duct that goes down to the turbo?. I can get 76/70 or 83/70 adapters. Would one of these make life easier?
    Thanks

    • @BeavisPits
      @BeavisPits  2 года назад

      Later models have an oval shaped elbow down to the turbo. You’ll need a short 70-80mm hose instead of 70-70mm. Your 2007 should be circular 70mm like my 2009 but maybe someone fitted the later duct to your car?

    The problem with adding silicone hoses to the inlet side is that under heavy load they suck them selves in and flatten thus reducing power so this looks like a complete waste of time unless you use wire reinforced hose

    • @BeavisPits
      @BeavisPits  3 года назад +1

      These hoses are 4ply and very thick/strong. I've not had any issues which would suggest they are flattening, but I will try driving with a GoPro filming under the bonnet to check for this just in case. The engine seems a lot more responsive and smoother so worth doing it just for that.

  • @dannylareza
    @dannylareza 3 года назад +1

    I have the same Freelander 2 2.2 TD4, I'd tried do the same installation using my compressor air separator as a catch can, when I tried to test it and start to run the engine, I noticed that there is an oil leaking coming from the exhaust side of a turbo charger, I just wonder why how was it happened like that engine oil leaking from the turbo charger.

    • @BeavisPits
      @BeavisPits  3 года назад

      I don’t have that oil leak, but it sounds like your crankcase is not venting and is pressurising, force oil out of the seals and reducing turbo oil drain. Try connecting your catch can output back to the intake duct, so that the intake vacuum sucks the fumes out of the crankcase via the PCV valve. Your PCV diaphragm may be faulty, meaning it is not opening and allowing gas to vent.
