scott87 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I'm fitting my intake. I have the space on my intake for the sensor. But what do I do with the 2 breather pipes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOSTA Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 You mean the 2 pipes off the cam covers, Just run them down the back of the engine out the way and fit some little breather filters on the end. Job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Yer that's the ones Cool thanks. Are any little filters ok or should I buy branded ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 You can get the little k&n ones for about a fiver on eBay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 You can get the little k&n ones for about a fiver on eBay Ah that's good. I was expecting them to have some serious twat tax added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Does anyone know what size i need? There is the one larger pipe that connects to the rear of the top of the cam cover and the smaller one that comes from the front of the engine by the cambelt cover.

I just stuck a small K&N filter to the cam cover. Not sure what you mean about the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Pics? I just stuck a small K&N filter to the cam cover. Not sure what you mean about the front. What size did u use for the one u had? The one at the front is the same same as all the small breathers around the intake. It's more the large one at the back of the engine too can cover I'm not sure on size. I can measure them. Just wanted to order now and it's raining outside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOSTA Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Just buy the filters then measure accross the inside if the connecter in millimetres. My hen measure the inside of your pipes from the cam covers then go on eBay and buy some hose connectors. So if the cam cam cover pipe inside diameter ( ID) is 10mm on one pipe and 10mm on the k&n filter then it's just a simple case of a 10mm hose connecter. And if the other pipe is larger say 16mm ID and the other k&n is 10mm just but a 10mm - 16mm reducer hose connector. In some cases you can just buy them plastic ribbed hose connectors from your local automotive parts shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich.2211 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 My drivers side breather has a filter on the end vented to atmosphere and the passenger side breather is connected as per stock to the inlet (passenger side has a one way valve as standard). Should I be venting them both atmospherically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I be venting them both atmospherically? No the rear breather driver side is connected to the inlet normally. Then there is another one from the the front of the engine to the left by the timing belt cover that goes to the inlet too. So there are 3 connections to the inlet including the sensor.

The third one you are thinking of is actually for the power steering idle up. It's a small diameter hose that runs behind the cam belt and across to the power steering pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Ok so there is the large breather from te can cover, the air temp sensor. Then a small breather from the power steering. These are the 3 connections that go to the air intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballsdeep Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Air temp sensor to intake, use the rubber grommet from your stock air filter housing, power steering vacuum to intake pipe and put a small k&n filter on the cam cover. That's how mine is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berg Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Same as balls deep, my intake sensor is actually in the hose on mine, cut a small hole in the hose and using the rubber grommet from the sensor it will push in Then i have an alloy joiner between the hose and the filter which has a port welded on for the power steering vac hose Can see my intake sensor here on the left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 My sensor is In my turbo inlet pipe and just vented the pas pipe to air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballsdeep Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Also use berg pictures as reference for your IC piping or you will burn through the 90degree hose very quickly For the power steering vacuum I used a 1/8npt barb hose fitting and drilled and tapped the intake hose.. Simples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 My sensor is In my turbo inlet pipe and just vented the pas pipe to air I take it no problems from venting the hose? I might do that myself, 1 less ugly hose on show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Will let you know next Thursday when it gets mapped can't see why not tho....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 From what ive just read it only helps stop the revs dropping when the steering wheel is put on full lock (whether thats true or false lol) so sure it will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
