K & N breather hose

[gary_1.2Merit]

just fitted my K&n (1.2 mk1) and the guy before had drilled a hole for the breather pipe, but it doesnt fit. i need to make the hole bigger somehow. but in the meantime ive left it hanging. what will the do ie bad things? also i thought the were suppost to be to little vacume pipes but there werent any.

[Stuart]

so you have a big hole in the bottom og the filter thats sucking in unfilterd air? classy

[smithy87]

I wondered that when I fitted mine mate, But its not a 57i kit (doesnt feed air directly into the engine) so it doesnt come with all the fancy sh*t.

My breather hose is just hanging, I've been informed it breaths OUT anyway, therefore doesnt need filtering, just needs to breath. You can get a crankcase filter if you're worried. Look at epo's feature, i THINK he has one? :?

They're not essential though.

AND, you really dont wanna leave the hole you've already drilled for it unfiltered. That'll f*ck it harder than Jordan.

i never fitted my breather hose back into the filter when i put on a bolt on k&n

[sTuDeNt]

So whats the bloody point of the breather to be connected to the air box in the first place if it breathes out??? Wiered one....
Little vacuum hose that ment to be on the original air box on my 1.2 wasnt even there when I got the car... :roll:

The breather is a pipe that comes from your crankcase. all the exhuast gasses that get past the rings comes up here. just put one of the little crankcase filters on it. you don't want your carb sucking them back down it

ok so i'll leave it hanning but i'll get one of them little k&n breather things. So how do i go about blocking the hole in the bottom of my filter, that the bloke before drilled?

[robb]

I left mine hanging down the bottom as it would be far enough away from the carb then.

[Snowface]

the reason they go back into the standard air filter is because of emissions.

[gary_1.2Merit]

So will i fail emmisions test on the MOT. will fitting a breather filter help?

[robb]

I would have thought it was for enviromental reasons not MOT.

It is basically a small exhaust that as said before directs the blow by on the rings out of the crankcasing.

If the MOT sees it then maybe but you still have the original airbox, it won't hurt for a few hours.

best fing 2 do is get ya drill and keep drilling in a circular motion until hole is big enough. or just get a file and file the hole. then stik in da breava hose and tie a tie rap on the the hose on the inside of da k&n so it waint fall out.

i dint av any of dem little pipes neva :?

[robb]

True it is possible this way, but it leaves a messy hole that may not seal properly.
