Got my secret weapon in, sounds sick I love it!

What about the breather filter? Should I install it? If so... What is the proper way? Thanks!

bump...
i got the same ?

wow...revival from way dead..thats a breather filter?

Your supposed to put the breather filter on the valve cover crank case vent.. the hose that goes to the intake.. Your replacing that hose, so the fumes from the crank case breathes into the atmosphere..

The nipple on the pipe gets capped of then..

Although i suggest using a oil catch tank at all times.. this works also..

This keeps carbon buildup from the fumes from the crank case from building up on the inside of the throttle body.

4 year bumps are awesome

at least someone answered the question :rofl: :clap:

do you think i should use the breather or ill do better with out it

Even though this is 4 years old... it's kind of how it's supposed to work. This guy probably used the search and found this and instead of creating a new thread (thus cluttering the search results even further) and someone actually answered it. :)

Wow the search but worked!! Searching FTW!!

I would use the breather.. because im sure you dont wanna buy a oil catch tank if you already have a breather filter that does the same thing as the tank..

Well isnt the Catch tank better than the breather?

If he wanna spend the cheddar, yes its better but he already has abreather filter ... no need to waste it..

Ok just wanted to clear that up for myslef!

whats the proper way to install the breather cuz someone told me that i needed two of them but i dont think thats true any pics of the way it should look installed would help.

I believe you just hook up the breather to the attached lil pipe comign off the valve cover or attach the breather to the end of the stock rubber hose thing coming off the valve cover and there ya go. But If you can do it the first way that would be best as the breather would be flopping around the other way.

Since we're on the subject ^^.

Where does the catch can go exactly??

Right now I have it between the hose on the back of the valve cover going to the back of the intake manifold, and I have just a little breather filter on the side of the valve cover.

OR

I've also heard that people, plug the hole on the back of the intake manifold. Then put the catch can between, the hole on the back of the valve cover, and the hole on the side (driver's side) of the valve cover.

Oh and i'm boosted.

Thoughts?

It goes on the front hose off the valve cover and then back to the intake not the hose on the back of the valve cover that goes to the Intake Manifold! Cause the one on the back isnt for oil its for vapors. Its got a special valve called a PCV i forget what it stands for.

positive crank ventilation, if i'm not mistaken.

Yea I was reading about it all day yesterday. ^^

Some people even use 2 catch cans.

I'm still researching it though.

Yea i think thats what to dual catch can is for but i usually see the single being used for the purpose i stated. The reason is that you get oil coming out of that hose unlike the way you have it where it is vapor. Thats why u get build up in your intake and on your throttlebody sometime. Thats why i suggest the way i stated.

so the breather filter and the catch can both attach to the valve cover vent?
and breather exhausts to the engine bay while the catch can filters before sending it to the intake?
what is the advantage if the intake sucking out the fumes?

i have a question, i recently did my tc turbo few months ago, but now its keep smoking and trowing bit of oil by the breather on the driver side, its that normal? on this cars???

Completely wrong area to be asking. Goto the FORCED INDUCTION section and ask there. Better yet, Heres an easy to follow link. http://www.scionlife.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1645

haha awesome how people just post anywhere nowadays

Just out of curiosity, anyone have any pics of their setup of the catch cans?

The best way is to plug the intake manifold where the PCV connected to run a hose from the PCV and the side vent to a catch can and run the catch can to the intake pipe. This prevent oil from getting in but still keeps a vaccuum on the crank pressure. Make sure to either drill out the PCV or put a different adapter on there to allow flow through it. I have tapped the spot where the PCV used to connect to with a 1/8" tap successfully and plugged it with a ss screw. Also remeber to use teflon tape so that there are no vaccuum leaks. I have a diagram I will try and post it.
