hi, ive got somewhat of a vague question..
there's a breather hose that comes from the stock intake and into the top front of the engine block..its slim ...black ..made of rubber
at the silver city vancouver meet a while ago, one guy had this hose taken off, and had put on a small filter. looked realy interesting and he had a realy nice engine bay. pretty sure he wasnt running the stock intake anymore but i forget.
does anybody know if this is a mod? anyone done it/know what im talkig about?
i wonder

 

yea, ive seen a few guys like that, its not really a mod.. doesnt do much of anything.. lol

 

It's a mod, if by mod you mean anything that isn't stock. As long as you plug up the hole on the intake and put the breather on the front valve cover it should be fine. It's pointless though whether you have an aftermarket intake and even more so with a stock one.

 

does anybody know what the purpose of the breather is?
i know to send air...but more specificaly what's it cooling/airing? i think there could be some kind of benefeit if the purpose is significant, think so?

 

Wrong again. The hose coming from the front of the engine, as you call it, sends fumes or whatever from the engine to be sucked in through the intake and burned off. When you just put a breather on there, the fumes are released inside the engine bay. It's as pointless as anything gets.

 

aw
thanks for the info then
i guess finding something to do that's not in the stickies will be harder than this

 

i have heard that putting a breather filter on the valve cover will make the filter soaked with oil.

 

exactly its just pollutants from the motor being recirculated for good emissions. turbos and some s/c have to do this because of removal of the stock airbox.

 

I personally would leave it connected to the intake. The negative pressure from the engine sucks the gas out. I wouldn't want that blow-by hanging around in the valve cover/crankcase to contaminate the oil any faster.

 

sometimes there is blow by oil and when using a breather the intake manifold gets dirty. if you have an aftermarket mid pipe I suggest using a breather since the stock resonator/oil separater is gone.

 

Get an inline filter that connects to the airbox, but has a filter in between it.
