Need Help! Fd runs rich and my catch can throws oil out.
Ok so my FD runs but my oil catch can is leaking, it is an open breath no named one which spews oil out the filter. I bought a mishimoto oil catch can however the fittings are the wrong type for my oil feed lines, can I just get a different baffle so my oil lines will thread onto the new oil catch can?
Also I need a tune for my car, Haltech E8, but I live in Arizona and the only tuner here is in Tuscon but they want like 800 for a tune lol and it is still a 2 1/2 drive away from me. Was wondering if anyone knew of a shop that could program a basic tune for me that I could just upload to my Ecu? Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated.
Mods list:
Freshly rebuilt 13B motor + street port + Atkins Apex Seals
Garrett GT40R Turbo
Exedy Twin Carbon Clutch (500 miles on this, alone it's $1800)
Manual 5 Speed transmission
HALTECH E8 Standalone computer
Upgraded CJ Motorsports Stage 1 fuel system
Primary Aeromotive 11142 340lph + Secondary Walbro 255LPH
(4) 1600cc Bosch Injectors
CJ Motorsports Dual In-Tank fuel pump assembly
CJ Motorsports Stage 1 fuel system
Power XS radiator
XS Power Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC)
Oil Catch Can(no named)
Mishimoto Twin Oil Coolers (one on each side)
Radiator breather tank
Racing Thermostat
P.S: I just redid the oil pan gasket and put the Banzai brace onto the car.

Who rebuilt your engine? Do you know what your clearances were set to?
Are you positive that nothing is plumbed in wonky that could be causing excessive pressure in your system?
I had an engine built that had EXTREMELY sloppy clearances between the side and corner seals. One of the results of that was that I would fill a catch can extremely fast.
The brand name of your catch can honestly shouldn't make any difference on whether or not it fills to fast and spews oil. I've seen people that have literally used any old bottle (think used Gatorade bottle) with a feed and relief cut into it..

Dang ok and No I have no idea, that is the information that was given to me when I bought the car a year ago. I have just been patching her up ever since.
My oil pressure reads anywhere from 40-60 during idle then while driving 100psi on the pressure. I have no idea why and I would take it to a mechanic but there are not any here in Yuma and the one in Tuscon just wanted a ridiculous amount of money to even diagnose the vehicle.
