DIY OCT update!

Yup the DIY OCT does work after I reroute it to the PCV hose. Check out the Dirty Oil captured after 5 days. I think it can stand for 1 month until it is full. When it is full i just need to pour it out. Next month i will check the throttle body again, i think it will stay clean :)

Completed the simple mods.

Finally I have got the last Ground Wire installed to the Alternator housing (Becareful not to short it on the +ve terminal attached to the alternator. (Pic 1)
Engine Valve Head Breather was rerouted away from engine body to reduce heated air intake. (Pic 2)
The PCV hose modded to an 'el cheapo' OCT (Iswara petrol filter) and it is routed next to the original air intake box to reduce exposure to heat. (Pic 3)
Now the Engine revs is much smoother and willingly (maybe it is just a feeling because no DYNO proven)
Pic 4 shows the air bleed nut on honda engines. If you fill up empty radiator or suspec there is air bubble trapped in the engine water ways, just open this nut and fill the radiator with water until the water flow out from this nut outlet.

(DIY OCT using Fuel Filter)
The thought of oil stain in my intake manifold bothered me for quite some time (saw it when i got my Throttle body removed for service last month). And the constant problem of engine shut down it self (since i got the car) with no error output when diagnosed is really disturbing. I did ask the workshop where my engine were install about the problem, they told me it could be ECU error. So forget about it, if it is ECU problem it would be intermittent (i won't get chopped the 2nd time).

So send my car to the workshop for the DIY of an OCT (cheap version) using an fuel filter as the catch tank. The whole setup is cheap (less than RM30) but ugly. I don't care as long as it works, we shall know the result after a few weeks/months to see if there is any oil caught there.
For the auto engine killing it self issue, i have had the ICV and FITV serviced sometime back about a month ago, but the problem still persist (both valves were not clogged when i checked it). Finally the mechanic suggested that it could be a fuel problem because the way the engine shuts it self down is similar to no petrol intack case. The first thing to get changed is the fuel pump relay, and walla no problem till now :) Let's keep my fingers crossed.
