914World.com _ 914World Garage _ 6 Guys Show Me Your Breathers
Posted by: Lucky9146 Nov 9 2017, 01:11 AM
In Sept there was a thread called "Crankcase Breathers" but it seemed geared toward 4 cyl and more stock set ups through valve covers.
Forrestkhaag showed me his set up at 914 Fun Day in Temecula but other than that I have seen little for a 6. I know some kind of small tank and filter is needed.
Anybody use an EMPI alum box?
Suggestions for good mounting spots near the 6 tank oil filler?
Pictures much appreciated!
Thanks

Plastic pop bottle.
Weighs nothing, no cutting, no drilling, easily reversed, practically invisible, nice fit into stock breather hose.
Plus you can actually see residue if blow-by is increasing.
Not visible in the photo are slits along the top to allow breathing.
Yes, I've fixed the fuel line snap and removed the rag.

Here's mine in the 6 on the firewall right behind the driver's seat. It's a modified hiking water bottle in powder-coated aluminum... for the budget conscious builder. Hardly ever gets any oil in it. K&N breather filter.

Love the simplicity thanks for the idea. It was great to look in this morning and find 3 responses with yours being the first!

Looks really professional and thanks for your idea and pictures. What looks to be a sight gage is pretty cool looking. Can you please tell me where the two hoses trail off to in the trunk?
Thanks again

Very creative and nice looking, the German clamp is a great touch!
Like "for the budget conscious builder" because at this point it would be cool not to spend much on this tid bit.
Great ideas so far!
Thanks

Looks really good! Does it come complete just like that with filter and drain? I'll check it out.
Thanks for the idea and the picture!

Has anyone tried venting the tank to the top of the Weathershield air cleaner assembly? I assumed that may be the purpose of the drilled hole on the side of the upper assembly.

They just poke out the bottom to apply a bit of rust preventive to the underside of the hot trunk floor.....

I don’t remember if it was a set or a “buy this too” deal. Came with a valve for draining
