Brant, curious, why drill the little hole when you had that great big ole one right next to it. Oooopppppppppps, never mind... "weight savings". Probably got another .000347 grams outta that one (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/w00t.gif)

Eric,

to be honest, I think I already had the little hole too.
(Is there possibly a nut welded to the chassis in that location, for the front of the targa top?)

for what ever reason I think we had the little hole.
Plus, the little hole lined up much better for that hose from the tranny


whoo'dy... hoo...hooo... (lol)

Seems like most of the guys with these overflow bottles are running 6's. Do us 4-cyl guys need these or would we be fine running something like this:
(IMG:http://amayesing.com/images/vwparts/CBbreatherbox.jpg)
with lines going to the heads and one to the oil filler? Or do we need a overflow bottle in there somewhere. Thanks just want to do it 'right' when I install mine.

so, from the bottle it simply returns to the case?


Nope. There's a petcock at the bottom of the good ones (like what Chris has $90.00). After the race you check and empty if needed. Dump the remains out underneath SLITS car and watch him spend the next 4 hours looking for the leak (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/w00t.gif)

jim, those boxes are open around the top edge. not much, but ever so slightly. brad warned me that over time my freshly painted engine compartment would have a thin coating of oil. perfect for catching a thin layer of dust. that was one time i wished he didn't know what he was talking about (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) .

JMURiz, you don't want to mess with that box...I tried one once and it was a major mistake, what a mess.

Eric, I'll see if I can get a pic of my mounts for the Breather Tanks, basically I welded in a mount where the stock battery locations and another on the opposite side of the engine compartment. There's only a small area up there where there's enough room for the bottle. I converted the 6- connectors on the bottle to -10.

I though about that too.

How simple (or not) was it?

It was pretty simple, but this is a race car and the whole battery tray is cut out and the battery mounted in the passenger footwell. It may be a bit harder if the battery tray is to remain in the stock location. You may want to look at mounting directly to the firewall (or with spacers) in front of the engine. Convertn to the -10 was rael easy, I just used a -10 top 5/8 NPT adapter and screwed the NPT into the plastic bottle, it tapped itself.

Cool,
Pictures would be nice. I 'could' always seal up the top on that container and run a spare K&N breather filter about 3" up from that. I'll brainstorm and come up with something based on what you guys are running.

BTW where in Burke are you, my parents live there and I take the 914 to their place every now and then.

A word for those considering mounting a "Breather" on the outside of your puke tank.
The puke tank will catch the fluids, the breather will catch much of the vaporous shittage....unfortunately, it will do it outside the tank.

FYI

Here is the summit bottle with new connectors (it comes with only one) and it's threaded, I thought these would work better.

It's Here! It's May 4th and it's here!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

Hey, if you happen to operate or work for a "Parts House" of sorts and you're looking for a good example of service.

1. Ordered Online on May 2nd. (said it was "In Stock" and it turns out it really was!)
2. Checked tha catalog box so I might take a peek and possibly order more in the future.
3. May 4th, order arrives.
4. Product is of "better" quality than expected and 1/3rd the price of others.
5. Catalog is in the box as requested.
6. Summit Racing "Hat" is also in the box sized to fit.

Can't do much better than that. Period. Going to leaf through the catalog now to see if I can give them any more of my loot (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Lawrence, I thought your car was kinda stock, if you use the
stock air cleaner it already has connection to the oil tank vent
line.

Is it sacrilege to run a porsche air box around here? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)
(I did cut off the snorkel)

You're referring to my 914/6 right?

I removed and stored the stock airbox and am running K&N filters with water shields. That change really brightens up the engine compartment. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif)
