Intake piping questions
Posted: Thu May 02, 2002 7:49 pm
Even then, i (personally) believe that the vacuum/breather system built by
the OEM is a highly stable system and should be kept that way.
Instead of just capping those hoses off with a small K&N filter thingie, i
would route them all into a catch can (for the blow-by oil to collect) and
then route through a filter back into the intake pipe through one hose
(blocking off the rest).
Granted i haven't tried this in practice yet, but it looks to be a good
design.
