Bought an RST oil breather - what diameter sized hose do I need to fit this ? It's a Spec-R one and the cars miles away with the breather so I can't measure.............I also need one of the little K&N filters for this set up too.............where can I get one of those ? Tried Google and can't find anywhere..............

Cheers chaps

 

you get the little filters from burton...not too expensive

as for the hose....sorry cant help m8

 

mr s1 what breather system you useing mate, open or closed loop?

andy

 

OK, sounds really daft but I don't know the difference at the moment it's standard, what I want to do is fit the breather, one take off to the rocker cover, one to the sump, one to atmosphere hence the breather...............help at all ?

 

yes mate thats why im asking you , i use the open loop on a grs oil seperater , all it means is that you make a catch tank then the crap oil doesent go bach into the system , works fantastic on mine and never hunts at all, this is what you do ..block the pipe that come out of the metering head then make a catch tank for the pipe that comes out of the oil seperater, normaly crap oil runs into the bottom of your metering head , if you see how much oil comes out of my catch tank you wouldent beleve it mate ..will put some pics up .. and this is thanks to karl from n.m.s who sent me a email were all the pipes should go the dff is amazing

andy

 

and this is what normaly goes into the metering head mate

andy

 

just so you know thats not refered to as open/closed loop

 

Right, that;s interesting..................very interesting !!!! May have to get another tank similar to mt chargecooler swirl pot for that then..........hmmm, the mystery deepens !!!! Cheers chap !!!

 

sorry mate i thouhgt open ment that you use a catch tank and closed was how ford do it

andy

 

p.s mate you dont need a swirl pot on a rst as thay have one as standard

andy

 

normally 19 mm hose mate ... mine was

 

Mine vents underneath the car, use it as waxoyl

Not thought of a catch tank, don't know where to get one from or where to mount it

 

Thankenyou................

 

mine used to vent underneath the car but iv got a motorbike and oil on my drive doesent go down well on the back wheel
you can use anything mate , some peeps use a coke can

andy

 

Cars a bit better than that not a shitter by any means and I like things done properly many thanks for your advice, I shall now go and get some kind of tank. This is turning into a dear do !!!!!!

 

Mr S1 we normally have the small k&n filters in stock
most people use rubber pipe for the breather, not sure if we have any in stock, if not we can get some (or silicone)

 

OK well need one of the small K&N's and only wanted the rubber pipe for it anyway, not interested in the braided or shiny stuff get me a price pleeeaaassseee what about a catch tank of sorts ?
