Hi,

Just signed up, currently restoring an St170.

Looking to upgrade air induction with enclosed air induction kit.

Noticed on the engine in the pic the crankcase breather has a different kind of filter.

This doesnt come in the induction kit? How do I get this part?

Looking forward to browsing the forum.

Thanks for any advice.

 

they are wrong for the 170 as they will simply fill up with oily mixture and do more harm than good and look tacky if honest as your coil pack cowling should cover that pipe when it connects into the airbox, also if your going for a induction system the cone needs to be fully enclosed or you will never see any benefits just poor economy and noise,

 

Thanks for that.

Will be fully enclosing it. I was told by someone id need to add the crankcase breather? Do I not need to add this part??

 

you dont need to add it as quality induction kits have the feed receptor for the pipe, apart from ramair there is hardly any fully enclosed systems on our market as its mainly used in the US on their svt models

 

Which type of kit would you reccomend?

 

if I am honest unless its a 100% enclosed system I would rather fit a decent panel filter and forget induction kits like k&n etc as they are all noise and when warmer weather comes around they waste fuel

 

I have a breather like this on my cossie and its been fine for 10 years. I also had one on my old sierra 2ltr dohc and my puma and i had no problems with them either.

 

broke many 170s with this little filter on and all were full of shite and underneath covered in oil where they keep dripping on coil pack etc
