vr6guy 29 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 hello guys got a question about my crankcase breather, the engine i bought had one of them silly air filter type things coming off the crankcase but this was always smoking and causing the fumes to come inside my car through the air vents. i then connected some tubing from the crankcase to out the bottom off the drivers wing.... but im still getting the fumes in the car.is there a way i can recirculate it into the air pipes? or is there another way so i dont get fumigated hahacheers all Link to post Share on other sites
russj249 2 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 The standard pipework should recirc it back into the inlet as standard. I would have a guess that the breather valve split in the past and it was cheaper to fit a breather filter than replace the valve. You need the standard intake elbow and pcv valve to cure it.

Lukey. 381 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 It can just be connected up with a price of pipe, but this can grime up your intake and throttle with oil residue, to remedy this you have the option to setup a catch can system which would condense the vapours.

vr6guy 29 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 yeh i see it goes back into the inlet pipe... but mine is turbo now and has a uprated intake any ideas on where to place a catch can? ebay is it? (love a bit of ebay haha) Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Anywhere you have space, people used the engine loom bracket but I would think that space is taken up with turbo. Link to post Share on other sites
Daverse 175 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 people put them on the left strut tower, but i dont know how congested that is now with turbo pipes?? Link to post Share on other sites
vr6guy 29 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 yeh not much space, the silly thing is with mine the turbo is the opposite to what i see other people have, like the air filter is on the right of the engine now and i think it takes up more room, especially where the battery "used" to be so this catch tank has a filter on it? doesnt that woft out any fumes? thank you guys for your replys. much appreciated Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 No it would want to recirculate into the inlet pipe after the MAF. Link to post Share on other sites
