breathers

[paul2508]

whereabouts do you install these breathers ?id imagine its around the air intake pipe, i always see them in halfords, and do they make any difference to your car?

[kevinod]

What breathers do you mean? Oil catch cans or something like that?

[paul2508]

i saw them on e few ftos in the english fto club,

AFAIK on the MIVEC there's a little pipe that goes from the top of the engine block to the air filter box, this would go there?

[paul2508]

there is a little pipe on gr's aswell tho

they replace the pipe that goes from the rocker cover to the air pipe(Crankcase breather). No performance gain at all. Not sure why its a filter cause the fumes are coming out of the crankcase.l

Correct. CCB's are used to reduce pressure in the crackcase to enusre proper oil movement, becuase the crankcase is already vented to the intake, theres absolutely no benefit in fitting one to an FTO.

Crankcase fumes are also damaging to the enviroment so if you're an enviromenatilist you shouldn't do it............and should prob buy a prius
