e-subliminal-2 Aug 14, 2009 07:15 AM

^LOL! This thread might just get you to notice some things your car might be missing hahaha.

That is not park of the vaccum system silly. Its just a breather for the crank case..

no lost performance.

i get 25 mpg durr dee dumm dumm

It sucks in air so it blows the **** through the PCV, but yeah, it doesn't do anything besides that. Mine has a breather on it when I bought the car and everyone's like OMGZ that's why your car is slow when it's hot (I have that problem). But I capped it and there was no change. I took the filter off and it was actually better....so idk. It doesn't seem to make a difference either way for me, the car just runs however it feels like.

Really? I don't have one either. Hasn't seemed to effect any of those things in my car.

one of my fellow workers was talking about a beer from canada.

What is the name of the one you drink.

he said something about 3 of these bad boys and you feel super.

Do not blank off/plug the crankcase vent.......and it should remain connected to the intake duct, downstream of the MAF. When the PCV valve is subject to intake manifold vacuum (idle and less than large throttle openings/low engine loads) and the crankcase vapors are getting sucked out of the crankcase, you need to have a vent (fresh air supply in). You do not want excessive negative crankcase pressure. Conversely, at high throttle openings/WOT (low vacuum/high engine loads) when the engine also has it's max blowby (and there WILL be blowby) into the crankcase you need the crankcase to be vented to allow the blowby gases/crankcase breather vapours out. You do not want excessive positive crankcase pressure. They also do not call it "Positive Crankcase Ventilation" for nothing. Not allowing the system to work as it was designed is definitely going to cause internal corrosion, sludging and gumming up of the engine. You NEED to get rid of those crankcase breather/blowby vapours AND allow the crankcase to be vented with clean, fresh air. An excessive pressure differential between ambient and the crankcase may also cause more rapid wear of the crankshaft oil seals. Also, if the crankcase vent is not connected to the intake downstream of the MAF, then that air that is getting pulled into the crankcase and then into the intake and the cylinders via the PCV valve has not been "seen" by the MAF. This may cause an initial lean condition/performance issues (it's effectively a vacuum leak) and with some cars can set a code and put on the SES light. Yeah, I know, it doesn't appear to happen with the Maxi. Breather vapors are also about the most nasty pollutant that you can dump into the atmosphere and were the first auto emissions controlled item, way back in 1963. I had a '62 Dodge 318 V8 that simply dumped the breather vapors out of a "road draft" tube about a foot off the road under the engine and into the atmosphere.
