so i just bought a comptech intake and me and my buddy were taking off the stock air box and everything and noticed a little bit of oil in the throttle body. i was wondering were do i go now about it? should i take it to honda and have them check it out to why i have oil in my intake?

 

your getting blow by. maybe get a catch tank.

 

Is the oil in front of or behind the throttle plate?

 

there was a little bit of oil in the tubing of the intake and as far as the throttle body it was behind. no sign of if in front of it.

 

It's normal for there to be a oily residue inside the intake manifold from oil vapor being pulled through the PVC valve. All gasoline internal combustion engines with a PCV will do so.

A baffled catch tank will reduce the buildup, but it's nothing to worry about.

 

oh ok thanks alot man. so the catch can will reduce the build up, but as far as long term without the catch can am i ok? or should i invest in one

 

It's nothing to worry with on a street driven car. There are millions of cars running just fine with some residue inside the manifold. A baffled catch can placed in the PCV line will reduce the buildup, but it's not necessary. I built a catch can because I could do it cheap with some leftover materials. I wouldn't spend a large amount of $$$$$ on a blingy polished can with no baffles, like the Greddy and Cusco cans.

 

get throttle plate and body cleaner from honda, $4 and it works great!

 

Krank Vents! My friend's turbo RSX had a TON of oil in the intake, and was smoking like crazy at every light. After krank vents, not a single drop, and no smoke.

 

^ Krank vents will eliminate any oil blowby
