27090, breather filters? Posted by a1eyed1der, Jul-10-02 04:11 AM
well i was going through a box of spare pparts and i found some breather filters, is there anywhere in the engine bay i can put these? i know my friend has one n the line going from the valve cover to his intake but i dont think our car has that any ideas?

Theres a rubber tube going fromt he right-hand side of our valve-cover that connects to your intake. Plug the intake hole with something (i used a screw) and put the breather filter on the valve cover.
This is 99.9% a cosmetic engine mod. Don't expect any gains.

If you do put a breather filter on your valve cover, keep an eye on it too. Mine was soaked with oil after a month or so and started to make a mess of my engine bay. So I took it off and got an oil catch can from RRE. No more mess.

if you have a CAI with a second tube coming out of it lower near the filter then you can put it on there, that is what i did :) looks pretty good too and it sounds like i have a turbo spooling up.

ok so i went and took a look i found the tube that goes from the valve to the air intake, but didnt find this second lower tube? if i do the breather filter on the valve does it make any cool noise?

no cool noise from the breather on the valve cover....
but as mentioned, keep an eye on it for oil...mine pissed all over my valve cover,and down the side of the engine...
dun worry if your dont have two spouts on your intake to accept the filter/hose/cap... i got one, and its capped off...
i ran hosing from the spout on the valve cover T'd into a breather, and more hose that ran into a vitamin C bottle (wrapped in tinfoil) as a catch can....
good luck
