What kinda filter is everybody using. I have a big ugly one that I dont really like, and was wondering what else there is out there. I didnt want to use that ugly hose that came with the kit. Thanks, Wayne

 

Are you talking about the crankcase breather filter?

This is what I've got:

 

pics of it on your car? also where did you get it?

 

I bought mine from Soundmike (Mira Imports).
It's not installed yet, but here it is on Y2KevSE's car:

 

JWT also has one that looks pretty nice...




no idea on price comparison though as I sent them an email requesting $$$ and availability

 

I might just run a hose and put the filter on the end of it. Like hide it somewhere.

 

wow your not lying that big a.s.s filter is ugly....lol

why put it on a hose, you dont want the filter shown at all??

 

I use OBX's filter. Filter in red with silver top, similar to the picture in Tanman's post.

 

Yes it is a big filter

Yes I think the motor looks cleaner to me with the filter hidden.. check iansw sig. i think thats his sign on name.

I will do "something" about it tomorrow.

 

I noticed I had oil leaking back to my blower so I had to go buy a cheap APC breather filter for $10 at Pep Boys. I tried to make it look clean by using the plastic elbow piece that came with the SC. What do you guys think?
APC Breather Filter Installed

 

Looks good. Very stylish.

 

 

nice, our motors look about the same

 

Thanks guys, I faced it upwards so that the oil won't leak out of the filter.

 

Got mine done today. Used some heater hose and a filter from autozone, ill post pics of it tomorrow.

Looks nice. Any performance or sound improvement, or is this just an aesthetic mod?

 

Thanks...
Yeah its my CAI for the crankcase... Na... just for looks thats all. Kinda looks like a small version of the CAI though.

 

I did mine for the purpose of not having oil leak down the hose and sucked into my blower since the other end is attached to the filter. I could care less for looks, I just didn't want it to leak oil.

 

yes thats what will happen the blower will act like a vacum and suck a little oil. I need to redo my hose like this with a smaller filter attached to it. this is a much neater appearance. Good Job

 

Do you have a close-up of the filter and hose? From what I can see, it looks like the filter is upstream of the crankcase, so oil will flow from the filter straight into the crankcase. Am I seeing this incorrectly?

 

This post was from Jan of 2003...he doenst even own a blower any more

Those little filters can be found anywhere, AutoZone, Ebay

Holy crap this is an old thread, I got an email notification saying there was a reply to this. Yea, the pic that used to be linked here for my old valve cover filter pic is gone, sorry. Another solution to the valve cover filter would be to use an oil catch can/tank in between the valve cover and intake hose. This is what I do on my 240.

 

Whats hte point of that shock type thing that goes to the engine and to the strut mount?

BTW that is one sweet engine bay.

 

engine torque dampener. it reduces engine vibration and torquing.
