I just got my turbo put in a couple weeks ago. The shop failed to but a breather filter on the car. Does anyone know where i can pick up one thats specific to the tc. My girl got me a universal one from pepboys and it doesnt fit.

 

Are you talking about the conical air filter that leads to the turbo inlet? Like the end filter on a CAI?

Just get the one that matches your piping size. 2.5" or 3.0" etc.

 

im talking about the tiny filter that takes the place of the hose that goes from the heads to the intake piping.

 

There should be a hose there connecting it to the intake pipe. Or you could run a catch can there.

 

I would run a catch can intead of a breather as yamaha mentioned.

 

you don't need a breather there. If you rout it to the intake, you NEED a catch can.
Otherwise, just leave it open or put your stock hose on there and point it down.

 

Pep boys stainless breather

 

i have the same breather. did you modify the hose to get it to fit?

 

I thought mine didnt fit too but I just stuck it in there with all my strength and it went through, but yeah if you can run a catch can that would be better..

 

Another suggestion is what some of the old timers use - just vent your valve cover to your exhaust!

This is only beneficial for boosted applications obviously.. and actually more for the high boost applications. You can have angle cut bungs welded to your DP or exhaust and have hoses running into your valve cover. The exhaust helps pull the pressured air in your crankcase - no need for a catch can as the oil gets burned up through the exhaust. Some of them add a catch can in between though.

 

hmm... that sounds like a really good idea!

 

Oh - I forgot to mention that on these bungs you should have bypass valves - like check valves. Here's a pic of it on a Supra:

 

i got some work ahead of me. I want to get everything done and be ready to do time attack racing soon. Looks like i have a ways to go
