I have the problem of my car needing to breathe, have an oil cap with breather outlet, have a catch tank with breather on top.

 

its too big for the engine bay.

 

got no room to fit it

[RossMK2]

this is the thing my engine bay is pretty cramped cus keeping standard servo so will have to get a tiny catch tank too

[5hane]

Dont them caps have a breather in them, ?? (i know standard ones do)

 

Otherwise, drill a hole in the cover and put on of them lil filters on it, if you want.

 

Me mate has a race spec mini, and that had a hole in the side of the rockercover... thats it lol.. (About 1 1/4 wide aswell!!!)

[marky4]

think ratsport do the breather caps m8

[RossMK2]

thanks looking now

[baz105e]

could you not take the vent off of the crank case breather ??? surely that is where there is the most pressure ?

[RossMK2]

i though you had to have one from aswell though?

I think you'll need to let the head breath too - otherwise it will have to breathe down the pushrod holes and that wont be enough.

 

You could breathe heavily out of the block into a catch tank and the get away with a filler cap breather for the head I would have thought.

[RossMK2]

with the filler cap breather do you mean one of them filters or to the catch tank as well?

I was thinking a breathable filler cap, and then a more capable system with a catch tank for the sump pressure.

 

Just for tidyness, you wouldn't need breather pipes going everywhere then.

 

Alternatively you could get a hole drilled in the rocker cover and weld a pipe in so you can collect all the breathing, touble is, you'd then need to have the cover re-chromed.
