My 914-6 conversion probably needs some sort of catch can. The previous owner has the crankcase vented to the oil tank. The vent from the tank simply has a sponge zip tied to the opening. It seems to work ok and I've never had a issue with anything but there has to be a better alternative. Something simple. Do most use a catch can, or can a small mesh filter be used? I cleaned a bit of oil residue off the motor when I was detailing the car. My guess is it came from venting into the engine compartment. Now that it looks pretty, I'd like to keep it that way. Any suggestions? Thanks.

QUOTE(arkitect @ Dec 19 2015, 10:45 AM)  QUOTE(mb911 @ Dec 16 2015, 04:26 PM) I made one for my last 6 .it was a piece of 2" aluminium tubing with a bottom welded on with a fitting on top for a small k&n filter with a hose fitting on the side.. I attached it to the fan housing opposite of the coil.. It worked great.. I should make a bunch of them Great idea, I'd be in for one. Don't want to spend $100 for a fancy looking one. I've been searching for a cheaper alternative. Dave I will look and see what I have for material.. I could probably make one for $ 50 but not. Sure what filter I would use? |
