Hello everyone,
After seeing a few write ups on DIY air/ oil separators, I decided to also do my own. I have previously used Moroso air/ oil separators so I wanted to do the same with the FiST. Since Moroso doesn't make a kit specifically for the FiST, I browsed their site for a kit that was close to what ours would need to be to work. I found the Moroso 85604 Air and Oil Separator for Ford Roush Mustang. Then went the Amazon and ordered it for $135.95. Yes, more expensive than the Home Depot separator, but I like the Moroso. I also felt the the filter on the Home Depot was a little to restrictive. So on with the install....
-A picture of the Kit out of the box as received.
-I took the bracket and lined it up in the mounting spot that I wanted to use, using passenger side inside strut bolt as the attaching point. Once I did this, I decided where I wanted to cut and drill the bracket.
-I made the cuts on the bracket and drilled the holes that I need. The bolt, washer and nut didn't come with the kit, but I had them in my hardware drawer of my toolbox.
-Mounted the bracket into place to make sure it fits.
-Then I tested the the entire assembly to make sure everything fit, leaving the bolts loose so I could adjust it. Once I had it situated the way I wanted it, I tightened everything down.
-I had to get extra 1/2 hose and an extra 90 degree bend from O'Reillys to finish up. Once I got those, I measured the hose to route it the same as stock. I used the factory connectors with the new hose, so you may want to buy an extra factory hose if you plan to go back to stock.
-Once I had the hoses route and installed, I had to trim the cover to make sure that it fit the way I wanted. You don't have to do this, but I did.
All in all, a fairly easy job...roughly 1.5 hours taking my time. I think it looks clean and I will probably give it a few hundred miles to see what it collects.
