K&N breather kit????????

[the t3d]

i noticed a few spots i could us this kit on, but i don't know if it's the proper location....
one on each valve cover and the one coming off the intake manifold.
i think those are open because i think there is a small metal tubing that
connects them all, but i'd think that would just suckin in hot air, so you guys think that this kit would be worth the money?????

thanks, t3d

no, itll end up spraying oil everywhere or making a mess...something or other. search, IJ explained it in depth in a few other threads.

so you think i should get the stock piping that's supposed to go there?

that or a catch can.

If you just run breathers you eliminate the point of the "positive" in Positive crankcase ventilation(pcv).

 

[the t3d]

well, that makes sense
but then what are the breather kits for from suprasport.com?

 

[starscream5000]

To get you to spend money and have to clean them all the time due to the blow by. I also think it would really mess up your vacume iirc?

gottcha
so, i'll probably just forget about that and get the stock piping and just paint it or something...
thanks for the reply guys!!!!!!!

If you're going to do anything, get a catch can, trust me, they help.

i was actually thinking to run mine to the exhaust downpipe.... i have a catch can now but i hate having 10 feet of hose under the hood. i think the exhaust would create enough pressure to suck the oil vapors out of the crankcase and give it a positive pressure.

wow.
thanks alot man
that helped alot.
not kidding.
did you do yours?
if so, what brand did you go with?

 

[the t3d]

i noticed greddy offers 9mm and 15mm sizes
is that for the nipples on the valve cover?

 

[Clip]

i never did mine, but i know greddy and turboxs both make catch cans. id just put a greddy in because that seems to be the most common. and not a problem, at one point or another, ive asked most questions that you have.

 

[the t3d]

yea that's something i'm definitely goin to look into
haha yea you gotta start somewhere...
time to pass out...take it easy man

im looking forward to hearing your gains from the catch can on an NA.

 

[supra90turbo]

There will be no gains. Purely aesthetic at the most.

My subaru traps about 1/3 cup every couple weeks.
I didn't see any "gains", but the intake is cleaner.

wouldnt a cleaner intake be a gain? i wasnt just talking power, more like benifits.

 

[starscream5000]

I think the catch can is a definite benifit, just because it doesn't make extra horsepower doesn't mean that it isn't a gain. I'm talking about a turbo car when I say this as I have no idea what the effects of this would be on the NA's.
