How and why do you fit them? Whats the story with pikey spec ones with cans and plastic bottles? Are they grand for the job?
Where would I fit one on a VVti 1JZ???


Can a mod fix the thread title? Cheers.

ya fit them to to stop oil vapors goin through the inlet into ur cylinders from your crank case instead it jus vents thro the catch can if it has a breather

[Greg]

Right, so are they essential? I don't remember seeing a breather anywhere on the engine, but do remember my old Starlet GT having one.

they connect up to the pcv valve witch plums into ur inlet mani its not a breather it jus recircs oil vapors...but if u get a catch can wit a breather on it itll vent instead of goin back thro the cylinders if ya get me

should be a pipe going from the rocker cover into the intake somewhere!

crankcase gases ie "hydrocarbons" lower your octane rating so if you let them out int a catch can instead of back through the intake it highers the fuels resistance to knock which equals win haha them 4 years in fas werent a waste after all!!
as for pikey spec if ya dont mind the look its all the same!!

Check out the big brains on Brad. haha Pikey spec it is so. Have plenty of empty cans of Heineken here I can use.
