When you modify your car, eliminating what the Porsche engineers designed you have to replace it or risk the consequences. In the case of the oil breather lines that used to go to your intake you risk oil leaks because of pressure and such...
Chris Foley of CFR has come up with the best solution I have seen. It takes the oil vapor from the heads and crankcase and if it pools, automatically drains it back to the engine. See the pic below.

Chris would like to build a run of these but in order to justify the time and keep down the costs he needs to build a bunch. So... Once again it is Group Buy time in 914World. Indicate your interest here and Chris will give us details on cost and payment...

I agree that there are a ton of comparable choices... I have two sitting in my rear trunk. I just think this one is slick because it drains back into the engine. As it says, Chris will give details on construction and cost...

Give us the details and I might be interested, I was going to rig up a CB old-style breather kit but this one looks better sealed etc.

There is only one issue with a system like this mounted in the engine bay..

In the winter when the heat is turned on (if you have heat) the vented gases from the breather that is open into the engine bay will be picked up by the cooling fan. This forces the gases through the heater boxes where they meet with hot air. The result is a funky smell that will give the driver a headache in just a few minutes of driving.

Been there- done that. It's a great product just mount it in the rear trunk or vent it outside the engine bay if you have heat.

Question, what kind of fittings are used on the heads? My PO removed the head venting when he converted to carbs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I've never liked how the hoses tie into the heads with a metal nipple just stuck into a hole in the head. Doesn't seal too well.

Not really, but I should JB weld the nipple to the head than use a hose clamp on the hose to nipple connection.

Always found it stupid to use a hose clamp on the hose when you can pull the nipple out of the head with little effort.

We drill and tap our LE series heads for thread in pipe thread fittings.... The same can be done with stock heads.
