just dropped my car of at MSd this morning and i asked about
the boost hoses getting oil in them, he suggested i bought a
breather system, can any one let me know any info
on them cause i dont know any thing about them,
he said something about 2 pipes to rocker cover, 1 to sump
and another i think, cant exactly remember.
thanks

 

2 pipes from rocker cover to breather, 1 pipe from sump to breather, 1 pipe from inlet manifold to breather fitted with one way valve to prevent boost pressure escaping. The other outlet from the breather can either be routed to the base of the metering unit, or to a small breather filter. This will prevent oil entering the intake system/pipes.

 

cheers, do you know where to get these from and how much?

 

A breather seperator is available from Bailey, Spec-R and most likely Forge, Pro Alloy, Pace, Fusion, AH Fabrications, etc etc for about £60-80 ish.....

My own is a Spec-R item which I will be modifying slightly.

 

very genrous price the "normal" advertised price is around the £100 mark plus the extra £25 for the fitting kit!

all i knwo is they get the oil back to the sump rather than in ya hoses and intercooler! my incooler was choked with it!

 

cheers, are they fairly straight forward to fit?

 

Yeh, the fitting kits usually has the pipes cut to the correct lengths, it just a case of removing your old breather system, bolting the new on in place then running the pipes to the various connections.

If you do run a vent pipe to your inlet manifold make sure the one way valve is the correct way round. The valve should have an arrow on it which points towards the inlet manifold connection, not the breather!
