Default breather options

right on my saff i am running standard breather set-up, which as far as i am aware seems to cope ok

but it has a small k and n on the right of the engine, above the intercooler, that seems to be the breath to atmsophere part of the system. and this part makes a mess.

i'm soon gonna be stripping the engine bay to replace hoses, and clean and polish it etc, just wondering if there is an alternative to having this vent, that wont drip oil everywhere?

cheers guys

rory

If you are running stage 3 then a std breather set will not cope.

It will always throw oil out.

Spend some cash on a proper breather set up

was thinking pro-alloy?

do the uprated breathers not spit oil out? are they much hassle to fit.

With most breathers now mate they use the return to sump hole in the side of the block! and as a last resort have a breather to atmosphere aswell. But then some also have a breather to a catch tank like the spec r ones do which gets mounted where the standard 2wd air box goes which you need 2 remove and replace with a cone filter instead to make it fit!
