Intake question

[Res]

that would make more sence, but why would u hook an oil catch can up to something that re-circulates fuel fumes, oil can and fuel fumes dont seem to go together, unless u want fuel in ur oil? whih is bad!

i dunno, i thort it was to relieve pressure from the rocker cover and the pressurised air went itno the intake? coz its just air that can be re-used? am i wrong coz that seems logical (altho i am a noob so may be wrong)

A catch can catches oil, then recirculates the clean air back into the intake.

its not recirculating fuel fumes, it is circulating oil fumes.

nalancer is correct regarding the oil catch can. this is more relevant to intercooled turbocharged cars. without the oil catch, the oil fumes will stick to your piping and worse, your intercooler. oil on the intercooler will make it less efficient at cooling the air.

i am assuming the op does not have an intercooler, so my suggestion still stands - don't much around with it.

ah i see, i was thinking when u said fumes u meant fuel fumes, well that all makes sence now, thanks

sykryd thanks for that man.

true - cars not turbocharged, so don't mess around with it hey?

I've just been running it with the air breather - seems to be going okay so far...might shove the hose back on.
