Re: catch can breather or no? why?
thanks guys, i was unaware the good brand names didnt have a breather on it, so it would make sense. im going with the 2nd one; that was my original choice. yeah i dont check all my hoses enough i should just replace them all but dont got the money for that right now and nothing is cracked yet but i...

Re: catch can breather or no? why?
Well it is to catch the oil blow by. This happens more frequently under boost, but it does happen on N/A motors as well. Especially when they start to get a little tired. A couple of ways to tell: Is your intake pipe or TB have oil residue in it? If you have a breather on there then that would not ...

Re: catch can breather or no? why?
Im my opinion I think it is benficial even on a N/A motor I had a cheap ebay one (just an empty can) before i came to the states and at least once a month it would be full from a gas oil mixture that im sure any other time would just gunk up the manifold. I could only imagine a good one with baffli...

Re: Anti-Drop Bracket help
You can buy one or have a piece of 1/8 inch X 1 inch steel flat bar bent. The anti drop bracket looks like a step. Bolts up and rests under your shifter. I'll see if I can find it for you. Ok, took me 15 seconds to search this. http://mx-3.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=44745&hilit=anti+dr...

catch can breather or no? why?
i was looking to get a catch can i understand that since i have an SOHC and its NA i dont really need it but i kinda do either way im going to get one
my question is this.
some have a breather on it how does that make it function better?
and is it really better to have one with it on there or not?
