Antony Mann Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 ive just found out I can take off the oil separator tank bit at the front of the zetec under the exhaust manifold and put a blanking plate over it and it will still run fine which gets rid of the crappy L shaped rubber hoses and the valve but what I don't know is where the other end of the hose goes too, and do I plug the other end or do I need to put a hose on to somewhere else? ive read bits where some people put in a catch tank for any water or oil , some just put a breather cone or just plumb it into the oil breather hose that goes into the air box? whats the best method and also is it worth it? does it make a lot of differene?

Mex Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 The other end of the crankcase breather hose is plumbed into the inlet manifold so that unburnt gasses that bypass the pistons get recycled. I wouldn't advise blanking off the crankcase breather as it will lead to problems, even if they are not immediately apparent. Burton have a good article in their catalogues and on their website. I'd recommend giving that a read before changing the system in any way. http://www.burtonpower.com/tuning-guides/tuning-guide-pages/engine-breather-system.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antony Mann Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 well ive read up about it and seems that the breather is just for emission purposes, blanking it off just sends the fumes out into the air or mainly to the exhaust instead of burning it up and fouling the engine , seems its better for the car just not so much for the emission test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
