Aos placement on rhd?
- Thread starter johnkin
- Start date
I’ve no idea , generally stuff for lhd cars don’t fit unless your handy at fabrication.
the rcm one was easy to install as I had the engine out at the time . It’s in the car 7 years now and never an issue
I clean out the lines and the can once a year but its return to sump so mostly maintenance free .
Can I ask What’s the reason for buying it ? What are you trying to achieve?
Is it a forged engine ?
The rcm will vent the crankcase center baffled breather and the two rocker covers into the tank and return to sump . The none heated setup will cause condensation in our cold climate but depending on how the car is driven should burn off quickly and cause no issues .
They work great, no oil in intercooler pipes and no consumption due to the turbo drawing the oil vapour in and burning it then in the engine .
It’s not really intended for a daily driver that get started and driven 10-15mins to work and then turned off .
More so a weekend car with a forged engine that gets driven quite hard and heavy track use .
Just to add, you really get what you pay for when it comes to stuff like this , I had a few home made cans and the grimmspeed aos , all absolutely useless. The rcm kit was fit and forget ,other than the cleaning once a year.

Hi Baz,
Thanks for the reply.
The rcm looks like a great unit but wouldnt iag not do the same thing even on a daily driver? From what I understand the only difference is the iag unit uses the coolant lines to help combat condensation.
I would also think both units need to be driven on a bit in order to clear them out from time to time.
Unfortunately I have already paid for the iag aos and when I asked could cancel the order there's a 20% cancellation fee!! Pretty lowsey as it hasn't even left there yet! All that said I'd still save a few pound with the rcm unit and have less hastle installing it I would imagine.

Where did you buy it? If the company is based in the EU and it was online, you will have a cooling off period once you receive it. Simply contact the company and exercise this right. Return it unopened (at your expense) and you'll receive a full refund.
The heated ones would suit better for a daily alright , I was more asking what your reason for installing?
Myself and John do a lot of Trackdays so it a huge benefit to our cars .
If You paid by credit card contact your bank and do a chargeback to your credit card,it will be the full amount returned.

I don't plan on dining anything major like forged or anything but I do hope to increase the boost a bit and make it as a reliable as possible.
Hope to get out to a few track days also once I have it ready to go!
Have you installed the cylinder 4 cooling mod also then? I've got the aos, cylinder 4 mod and mishi rad, hopefully thatll increase reliability and allow me up the boost safefully!
I've seen the cylinder 4 mod. Seems handy enough to do but haven't looked in to it much myself as to the benefits.
